If you change your booking
If you wish to change your travel arrangements in any way, once your booking has been confirmed (for example your chosen arrival or departure date) we will do our utmost to accommodate these changes, however, it may not always be possible. Any requested changes may be subject to additional costs.
If we are unable to assist you and you do not wish to proceed with the original booking we will treat it as a cancellation by you.
If you cancel your booking
Should a booking be cancelled before full payment is due, the deposit paid is forfeited.
Should a booking be cancelled, after making the full payment, there will be no refund on the accommodation cost.
It is therefore essential that every person in the party takes out a holiday insurance from the moment of booking, which includes cancellation cover and personal liability cover. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance you purchase is adequate and appropriate for your particular needs.
If we change or cancel your booking
In the unlikely event that we have to cancel or make any changes to your booking arrangements, we will notify you as soon as possible.
