Booking Conditions

1. Reservations

Telephone bookings will be held for1 hour pending receipt of verbal confirmation and a deposit equal to the first nights stay; if only one night is being booked then payment in full should be received. The booking will then be confirmed by email or letter once your deposit has been received.

2. Cancellations & Insurance

A holiday booking is a legally binding contract. If you fall ill, have an accident, become redundant or are otherwise prevented from taking your holiday and we are unable to re-let your accommodation, there could be a cancellation charge. This could be as much as the full cost of your holiday. This is standard practice throughout the UK. In the event of cancellation the following scale of charges would apply :-

28 days or more before your arrival date - Forfeit of deposit

28 - 14 days before your arrival date - 50% of total costs

13 - 2 days before your arrival date - 75% of total costs

1 day before your arrival date - 100% of total costs

Arrival day or later - 100%

We advise guests to take the precaution of having insurance when booking holidays.
