No provisional booking applications can be made. Residential packages must be secured with a deposit of £100 per person at the time of booking using a credit/debit card. The full charge for a Day Visit is payable at the time of booking. No firm contract exists until the Company has issued confirmation of the booking.

If the cancellation is effected less than 7 days before the day on which the stay was due to commence, the Company will be entitled to retain the deposit. If the booking is made within 7 days before the day on which the stay was due to commence and subsequently cancelled, the Company will be entitled to retain the deposit. Where a full refund is due on cancellation, this will be offered in the form of a gift voucher which is valid for 12 months. To avoid cancellation losses, guests are recommended to take out insurance against cancellation.

6. Cancellation by the Company
The Company will use its best endeavours to ensure the availability of accommodation. However, it cannot accept liability for cancellation due to circumstances outside the control of the Company. If such circumstances arise the Company reserves the right to cancel the contract and refund all sums paid by guests or offer other such alternative accommodation as may be available.
