Booking terms

Please read these Terms carefully because together with your Confirmation of Booking and the information on our website they make up your agreement with us.

We aim to provide Terms which are easily understandable. If there is any term that you do not understand, then please discuss it with us before making a Booking.

If you require these Terms or your Booking Confirmation in another format please ask and we are happy to provide them.

You/your: You or the members of your party

1.2 When we use the words "writing" or "written" in these Terms, this will include email unless we say otherwise.

2. Changes to our Terms or your Booking

2.1 The law and how we have to operate the Hotel may change from time to time. If this happens then we may need to update our Terms. You will be able to find the latest version on our website or at front desk.

2.2 If we make any significant changes to our Terms after you have requested a Booking which have a materially adverse effect on your Booking, we will give you the option to cancel with a full refund.

3. Our contract with you

3.1 When you submit a Booking to us this does not mean that we have accepted it. We may or may not do so. If we are unable to supply you with the Accommodation, we will inform you of this and we will not accept the Booking and refund payments you have already made.

3.2 Subject to clause 3.3 below, these Terms will become binding on you and us when we send you a Booking Confirmation, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us. Please check your Booking Confirmation carefully as soon as you receive it and inform us of any discrepancies. If any are our fault we will do our best to remedy the situation.

3.3 If you have made a specific request during the online booking process which we are unable to accommodate (such as accessible rooms, additional beds, party size, dogs etc.) occasionally we may have to refuse your booking even after you have received an automated Booking Confirmation. If we are unable to accept your Booking for any reason, we will inform you of this as soon as possible and will not charge you. This might be because Accommodation or essential facilities are unavailable or we have identified an error in the price or description of the Accommodation.

3.4 These Terms apply whether you make a Booking via our website, by email, post, telephone or in person.

4. Price and payment

4.1 Full payment is required to secure a reservation.

The value of deposit required will be confirmed upon making a reservation.

If full payment is not taken upon making a booking, any outstanding payment should be made no less than 30 days in advance of the arrival date.

As per clause 4.7 If you do not pay when you are required to do so then we may cancel your Booking and retain your deposit.

4.2 The price of the Accommodation will be set out at the time we confirm your Booking. Our prices may change at any time but price changes will not affect Bookings already confirmed with you.

4.3 If your Booking includes Bed and Breakfast (B&B) and/ or dinner the following are included in the price you pay for the Accommodation:

(a) B&B – room and breakfast.

(b) Dinner inclusive – room, breakfast and a three-course dinner in Zacry’s (unless your package includes an alternative).
Guests staying on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis will be dining in Zacry’s. Included meals cannot be transferred to any other dining venue. We do not offer discounts or refunds for meals not taken. Some menu items carry supplementary charges. Opening times vary according to time of year, please ask us before making a Booking.

4.4 All prices are calculated per room, per night and based on two people sharing, except for family suites which are per room per night based on the maximum amount of people sharing the room as set out during the booking process.

4.5 Additional guests are not permitted without our prior approval and will require payment of an additional charge of 25% per person of the price of the Accommodation for the relevant night(s), which we will ask you to pay before your stay commences.

4.6 Our prices include VAT.

4.7 If you do not pay when you are required to do so then we may cancel your Booking and retain your deposit.

4.8 Once your Booking is confirmed you are responsible for payment of the full amount.

4.9 If we accept your Booking where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mis-pricing, we may end the contract and refund you any sums you have paid.

4.10 We take payment via Visa and Mastercard only.

5. Your rights to cancel and receive a refund

5.1 You may cancel your Booking at any time. This clause explains when you are entitled to a refund and how that is calculated. We recommend that you obtain travel insurance.

5.2 If you need to cancel your Booking, please contact us as soon as possible in writing using the email address you provided when you made your Booking.

5.3 The amount we agree to refund you is dependent on how close your cancellation is to your arrival date. This is because we are less likely to recover the cost of your Booking by re-selling the Accommodation. The amount of any refund due therefore decreases as your arrival date approaches:

a) Notice of cancellation received 30 days (45 days for bookings of 3+ rooms) or more before arrival date: refund in full.

b) Notice of cancellation received less than 30 days (45 days for bookings of 3+ rooms) before your arrival date: no refund (however we may be able to change your booking, see clause 6 Changing your Booking below.)

5.4 If you decide to vacate the Accommodation before your date of departure for any reason other than as a result of us breaching our obligations under these Terms or our negligence, we are not liable to offer you a refund.

5.5 Once we have confirmed your Booking, you may cancel it at any time and receive a full refund of all the payments you have made to us by giving us notice if any of the following occur:

a) we break this contract in any material way and we do not correct or fix the situation within a reasonable period; or

b) we change these Terms to your material disadvantage.

5.6 OTA and third party reservations. Any indirect reservations are subject to separate terms and conditions or cancellation policy as stipulated on the booking site at the point of making the reservation.

6. Changing your Booking

6.1 You may make a change to your Booking by contacting us prior to the start of your stay subject to availability. If you wish to change your Booking the following will apply:

a) Requests to make changes to your Booking will only be accepted if your request is made 30 days (45 days for Group Bookings of 3+ rooms) or more prior to your arrival date and will be subject to availability.

b) Your amended Booking must commence within 12 months of the date [of your original] Booking, once a booking commencement date has been changed it cannot be cancelled.

c) We will only accept instructions to amend the Booking by the person who made the Booking using the email address provided in the original Booking.

d) We will refund the difference in price if your amended Booking is one for which we ordinarily charge a lower price at the date we receive notice from you that you wish to change. In that case we will explain why we are not able to provide you with a refund of the difference in the price.

e) You will also have to pay us the difference in price if the altered Booking is one for which we ordinarily charge an additional amount at the date we receive notice from you that you wish to change.

7. Our rights to cancel and the refund you will receive

7.1 We may have to cancel the Booking due to the unavailability of key personnel or key facilities without which we cannot provide the Accommodation, including in circumstances of an Event Outside Our Control. If this happens:
