We will not be responsible for any matter which you knew about during your stay but did not tell us about during your stay. If any matter is not resolved during your stay you must notify us in writing of this as soon as possible (and in any event within 21 days of the end of your holiday) as otherwise we will not be able to consider the matter further.

We do not pay compensation in circumstances where we have to cancel your booking including those arising from Force Majeure. Force Majeure means circumstances beyond our control including (but not limited to) industrial disputes, natural disasters, fire, technical problems, bad weather and acts of government.

7. Paying for your holiday

Any balance due shall be paid not less than 30 days before your holiday start date, or within 72 hours if made within 30 days.

If payment is not made by this date then we will assume that your holiday has been cancelled and we may re-sell the holiday to another customer.

We reserve the right to pass on any costs or bank charges we incur if we have to resubmit a cheque for payment or a cheque is declined for non-payment.

An administration fee of 2% will be applied to all payments made by credit card (minimum charge £1). This charge will not exceed £5 per transaction. There is no charge for debit card payments.

8. Prices

All prices are current at the time of printing and we guarantee that the price of your holiday will be as agreed and shown on your holiday booking confirmation. However we reserve the right to alter or amend our brochure prices so long as we notify you of any difference before you book. All prices shown are inclusive of VAT at the prevailing rate at the time of payment.

Certain accommodation units are sublet on behalf of the owners who are not registered for VAT. In this case the total cost of your holiday is not subject to VAT, but a further handling fee, so the price for the holiday will remain the same.

9. Special offers and discounts

10. Arrival and departure times

Check-in and key collection will be open from 4pm on your date of arrival (unless you have booked Gold or Platinum accommodation, which will be available from 2pm). If you believe you may arrive after 6pm on your date of arrival then you must inform us. If you do not inform us and/or your intended holiday home is not occupied by 9am on the day after your arrival date we will treat your booking as cancelled and re-let the holiday home to another customer.

No refund will be paid in such instance. You are required to depart your holiday home by 10am on your departure date.

Our parks are used primarily by families and we would ask that the behaviour of you and your party reflects this fact. Noisy, offensive or inappropriate behaviour or actions likely to cause harm to any other guest, members of our staff or an yone’s property at the holiday park will not be tolerated and we reserve the right to refuse entry to and/or eject any person who, in the reasonable opinion of the management of the park, does not comply with these standards of behaviour.

No refunds will be issued in these circumstances. If, in the reasonable opinion of the management of the park, we believe that you or a member of your party may not comply with the above, on entry to the park, we reserve the right to refuse entry or not to hand over accommodation to any person or groups of persons at our discretion. In such cases a full refund will be issued to the lead name on the booking.

All children must be properly supervised by parents or guardians throughout your holiday, including all park organised activities. We reserve the right to deny access to our facilities and/or any children’s activities if, in the reasonable opinion of the management of the park, we believe that any child or child ren will be unduly disruptive.

12. Number of your party

The total number in your party (including children and babies) must not exceed the maximum capacity of the holiday home as advertised. In most cases this will be no more than six or eight depending on the size of the caravan concerned. In the event that these numbers are exceeded, we reserve the right to exclude or refuse entry to any or all members of your party from the holiday park.

We will not accept bookings where half or more of the party is aged between 17 and 25.
