Terms & Conditions

These conditions are the terms & conditions that apply to the booking of a room at the hotel, along with the provision of by us of any services. These conditions set out your and our legal rights and responsibilities.

RESERVATIONS

In order to avoid any misunderstandings regarding reservations, the following are our terms and conditions of trading. All reservations are accepted on the basis of these terms and conditions.

When booking an activity or experience with one of our recommended suppliers, you will be entering into an agreement with that supplier and will be bound by their terms and conditions. We shall not be responsible for their safety standards, quality or delivery of the event or experience or any loss or damage suffered as a result.

We reserve the right to amend these terms and conditions at any time and you should therefore check them each time you make a reservation. The terms and conditions applying to your reservation will be those in place on the date that you make your reservation.

Making a Reservation
All reservations made at the hotel are held on an option basis until the hotel receives confirmation.

You must be at least 18 years old to make a reservation. Those under 18 years old are not permitted to stay unless a parent or guardian is also staying in the hotel

Confirmation
In order to confirm a reservation, a debit or credit card is required as a guarantee. We will confirm our acceptance of your reservation by sending you an email to the email address that you provide during the reservation process. The contract between us for the provision of your room and any additional services added to your reservation will be formed when you receive this email confirmation from us.

Deposits
The hotel reserves the right to require payment of a deposit to a predetermined amount, as specified at the time of reservation to secure all bookings. In the event that a cancellation fee needs to be implemented, the deposit becomes non-refundable and will be set against the cancellation fee. The balance will be charged to the credit card used to guarantee the booking.

Pre-authorisation
On arrival at the hotel, guests may be required to provide a credit/debit card for pre-authorisation which will be the equivalent to the total amount outstanding for the accommodation. The pre-authorisation is not a charge, and no funds will be debited from your account until your departure. For further details about pre-authorisations please ask at reception or call the hotel prior to arrival.

Cheques
Cheques and travellers’ cheques are not accepted as payment.

Passports
All non-UK travellers must present a passport on arrival to Reception

Bedroom Cancellation Policy
Fully flexible with free cancellation up to 4pm, 3 days before arrival. After this the full stay will be charged. No deposit needed, simply provide a credit/debit card to secure your reservation with a pre-authorisation taken ahead of arrival for card validation.

If you decide to shorten your stay you must inform us 3 days before arrival. Otherwise, you will be charged for the full stay.

Cancellation Policy - Advance Purchase
Pre-payment to secure our best rates at the time of booking. Payment is non-refundable and non-transferable. With this in mind, it may be advisable to take out holiday insurance.

Our right to cancel
We may cancel your reservation at any time with immediate effect by giving you written notice (which includes email) if:

  1. You do not pay us when you are required to do so; or
  2. you breach the contract between us in any way; or
  3. You have previously breached the contract between us in any way.

If we cancel your reservation where you are at fault, we reserve our legal rights in respect of your breach of contract. Where your stay had/has not yet commenced, the total payment made or to be made by you for such room shall be deemed a cancellation charge and is not for any service.

We may also cancel your reservation if an event outside of our control (including industrial action, explosion, outbreak of disease, health and safety issues, fire, flooding, and failure of power and/or water supplies or emergency evacuation) means that we are unable to make your room available to you. In this case we will contact you to let you know as soon as possible and:

(a)if you have already paid for your room, we will refund your payment to you; or

(b)if you have not yet paid for your room, you will not have to make any payment to us.

Save as set out above, we will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations that is caused by an event outside of our control. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Additional charges may apply for other Services including, but not limited to, [car parking, meals, drinks, room service, use of wireless internet access, leisure, fitness or entertainment facilities or activities, use of any function or other rooms, or any other equipment, services or facilities].
