During the processing of your completed online booking form, your full payment must be processed via our accepted payment options unless otherwise agreed. Your payment is made in full and consists of a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the total booking amount. You have two (2) days in which your payment must be processed into our system from your bank or financial institution.  If the payment money is not received in this time we reserve the right to cancel the booking. If payment is made after we issue an invoice or series of invoices, the first 50% of the total amount owed forms the non-refundable deposit amount.

Cancellation or Changes by You:

It is essential that you let us know immediately if you need to cancel your booking. Please telephone the office and then confirm in writing within 24 hours. If you cancel your booking the following applies:

1. If you cancel more than 4 weeks before your arrival date you will lose 50% of total booking amount, or the total of any non-refundable deposit payment. The remainder of any of your other payments made will be refunded less bank fees.
2. If you cancel less than 4 weeks before your arrival date you will lose your full payment.
3. If you book via a third party organisation and not directly via our website they may have additional terms and conditions related to your booking. Please make yourself aware of these at the time of booking, as they are in addition to our policy regarding cancellation. We are only able to refund the portion of the booking fee we receive from the third party organisation and are not responsible for refunding any of their fees, commissions or charges.
4. In accordance with The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 SI 2013/3134  you cannot cancel your contract if the services you have ordered are accommodation, or services related to leisure activities  (if the contract provides for a specific date or period of performance).

Cancellation due to unforeseen circumstances:

We are not liable for refunds or expenses you incur in the event we are prevented from fulfilling your Booking as a result of circumstances beyond our control. Such circumstances shall include (but not be limited to) war, terrorism, riots or civil unrest, industrial action, flooding, natural disaster, epidemics, notifiable diseases, health risks or such similar events (“Force Majeure”). We strongly recommend that you have adequate holiday insurance in place to cover this.

Coronavirus 2022:

Any new bookings made in 2022 that are unable to commence due to Government guidance regarding COVID-19, will be offered credit notes for 18 months. This only applies to booking made directly on our website.

In order to qualify for our COVID-19 policy you must provide notification within 24 hours of either:

• evidence of a positive PCR COVID test
• evidence of official advice to isolate or
• alternative official evidence that precludes your visit based on government guidance.

In all circumstances you must advise us before 10am on your date of arrival that you have had a COVID-19 concern or may be unable to stay with us.  In the event of group bookings, group members or families not advised to isolate under government guidelines, or those who have not tested positive with an ensuing PRC test, will not qualify for our COVID-19 policy.

For new bookings made involving groups of families and friends, it is contingent upon these groups to observe the current Government guidance on social distancing at the time of their stay. Unwillingness to observe social distancing rules will not be considered sufficient reason to trigger our credit or refund policy for new bookings.

For bookings made through third party sites we are only able to refund the portion of the booking fee we receive from the third party organisation.  We are unable to take responsibility for refunding any of their fees, commissions or charges.

Cancellation or Changes by Us:

Once we have issued you with a confirmation, we will do our best not to make any changes or cancel your booking. However please note that sometimes changes do occur before or after bookings have been confirmed, and very occasionally confirmed bookings have to be changed or cancelled. We promise to do all we can to avoid changes and cancellations but must reserve the right to do so.

Travel Insurance

We recommend insurance to cover cancellation, loss, damage or injury. As a small business we are not able to act as your insurers and rearrange your stay due to your changes in personal circumstances.
