You enter into a legally binding contract when you secure holiday accommodation. This imposes an obligation:

(a) on the proprietor to hold a room (or rooms) at the disposal of the guest for the agreed period and
(b) on the guest to pay for the accommodation reserved.

If either party seeks to vary or cancel the contract, this can only be done my mutual agreement, subject to liability to compensate the other party for any loss occasioned thereby. Please note that it has been held that illness does not entitle a guest to cancel a contract without compensation to the proprietor. This also applies if a guest curtails the length of stay they have reserved with the proprietor.

* There are several inexpensive holiday insurance policies available to cover unforeseen problems, which work in the same way as those policies that you must take out when booking a foreign holiday. We strongly advise that you should consider this. We have arranged a cheap but effective policy on your behalf and so please ask if you require us to send you an application form (see below for further details).

If within 2 days of the date of arrival the booking is cancelled or there is a ‘No Show’ then the total outstanding value of the booking will be due. In the event of the guest/s wishing to leave earlier than the specified number of nights then the above notice periods also apply.
