Cancellation Charges

We appreciate there are times when cancellation of a stay with us, by our guests is deemed unavoidable. Please understand though, that a booking is a firm contract and should be regarded as such. We strongly recommend the use of travel insurance to protect you from unforeseen events and circumstances that may cause you to cancel your booking.

Any cancellation will forfeit the deposit which is equal to 50% of your total booking, Sorry, no exceptions.

If a cancellation is made within one week of arrival or by ‘no-show’, a cancellation charge equal to the whole booking will become payable.

When a reservation is for a two night minimum stay or three night minimum bank holiday weekend stay, cancellation of only one or two of those nights will not be allowed and cancellations will be subject to payment in full.

Where a reservation is cut short after arrival the stay will be subject to payment in full.
