Room allocation: Third Party (Agency Bookings)

Bookings made through a third party will be allocated a room as booked. However, we cannot reserve specific rooms.

Non-availability

To ensure maximum letting potential from our rooms, we occasionally hold rooms for longer lets and would therefore decline a shorter booking.  Once your booking has been confirmed, we would only cancel your booking if your accommodation was unavailable for reasons beyond our control.  An attempt would be made to offer you alternative option.  However, if this was not possible, or unacceptable to you, then we would refund all monies paid by you.  Our liability would not extend beyond this refund.

Over occupancy of a room, without our prior arrangement, will incur the breach of the contract and guests will be asked to pay or vacate the premises.

Damages and Breakages
