- When you make a reservation it is a contract in law; we appreciate that things sometimes do change so we would urge you to take out travel insurance in the event of a cancellation out of your control then you are covered.
- Bookings cancelled within 14 days of arrival will be charged at 50% of the FULL stay value, including food and any pre-agreed extras booked. We will do our very best to resell the room within the 14 days. If we do, then we will refund your credit card with the amount we receive less 25% of the value of your total booking to cover administration costs (and to cover any commissions we may have paid to booking agents).
- We will allow you to transfer a booking to another date as long as the change is made within 14 days of your stay. You may be asked to pay the difference in the booking value if you have moved to a higher-priced season or room type.
- If you have booked a room using a discounted 3rd party voucher purchased from another company, e.g. Groupon, Travelzoo, Wowcher, etc. then the date may be moved once to another date within the allocated date range stated on the voucher as long as the change is made within 14 days of your stay.

EXCLUSIVE PRIVATE HIRE WEDDINGS AND PARTIES
Please note that our Terms and Conditions for our exclusive hire packages are sent out individually with each booking to the couple who have made the booking.
If you are a guest attending an event at an exclusive hire function then one thing to note is that our check in time for our rooms is 3pm, so if you have been invited to wedding that is taking place before this time then you should arrive at the hotel ready to attend the function. The couple will be allocated 3 rooms to use from 1pm so if you feel that you will need extra time then you should speak with them directly to see if they are happy for you to use one of the three allocated rooms.
