NI028002) and you are agreeing to the following:

Your holiday booking

General

When booking your holiday, you are agreeing that your holiday is for recreational and leisure purposes only and that you will abide by our park rules. This applies to you and all members of your party. If you don’t, it may result in you and your party being asked to leave the park and no refund will be due to you.

Prices

We will try to make sure that any prices shown on our website or given over the phone, in writing or in person are correct. Occasionally, an incorrect price may be given due to an error. When we become aware of such an error, we reserve the right to raise or lower the price of your holiday and if you do not wish to accept the correct price, we reserve the right to cancel your holiday booking. All holiday prices shown are inclusive of VAT at the prevailing rate.

Securing your holiday booking

We will request a deposit of 50% of reservation cost at the time of booking to secure your holiday. See our cancellation policy below for deposit terms and conditions.

For touring and tent pitches, full payment of the remaining balance is due 2 weeks before you arrive. For camping, glamping and luxury van reservations, full payment of the remaining balance is due 4 weeks before you arrive. If your arrival date is within this period, then full payment needs to be made when you book.

We accept credit or debit card payments only (except American Express) – sorry, no cheques or bank transfers. Holiday bookings can’t be held for payment on arrival.

If we don’t receive full payment within 48 hours of the balance due date, we reserve the right to cancel your holiday and no refund will be due to you.

It’s your responsibility to check that all the details shown on your holiday booking confirmation are correct. If there are any errors, please let the park know as soon as possible as we may not be able to make changes later.

The lead guest on the holiday booking is responsible for all payments and the behaviour of all members of the holiday party. The minimum age of a lead guest is 21.

Once you have booked and paid your deposit, we won’t change your holiday price regardless of any increase or decrease in the prevailing VAT rate.

If you arrive on the park with equipment different to what was originally booked, or more people in your party, we reserve the right to (a) restrict the units / people allowed to use the pitch, (b) allocate additional units / pitch(es) if available at the appropriate charge, or (c) cancel your holiday booking and no refund will be due to you.

Changing or cancelling your holiday booking.

 

If cancelled up to 30 days before date of arrival, a full refund will be provided. Cancellation will incur a £20 admin fee.

If cancelled or modified within 29 days of arrival 50% of the total reservation will be charged. Bookings are non–transferable.

In the event of bereavement or sickness, we will require documentation to confirm these instances. The refund due to you will be discretionary to be discussed directly with management.

Cancellation charges are calculated from the date we receive your verbal or written instructions. Please note only the lead guest can call to change or cancel the holiday booking.

Refunds will be issued back to the original payment card.

Your holiday booking can’t be transferred to another person.

Please note that we do not give refunds for any reason (includes adverse weather) once your holiday has started. It is your responsibility to ensure that your equipment is suitable and in good working order.

If we have to cancel your holiday booking

If we need to make any changes or cancel your holiday booking due to Force Majeure, we will try our best to let you know as soon as possible and if possible, we will offer the following options:

•             Change your holiday booking to a different arrival date

•             Change your grade of accommodation or touring pitch type

•             Cancel your holiday booking with a full refund

Force majeure is a situation beyond our control e.g. strikes, industrial action by third parties, riot, invasion, threat of terrorist attack, fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic, pandemic, natural disaster or any other circumstance that is unavoidable. No compensation will be given if such an event occurs.

If we need to cancel your holiday booking any payments made will be refunded in full. We don’t accept responsibility for any incidental or consequential loss that may arise due to the cancellation of a holiday booking and our liability will only extend to payments already paid by you.

Play areas must be vacated by 9pm or dusk (whichever is sooner). Bikes or scooters are not allowed after dark. We don’t allow motorised scooters, scateboards or hoverboards on our park.

Certain children’s activities and events (such as Easter and Halloween activities) require booking prior to arrival on site.

If you have a dog that is noisy or behaving badly, we may ask you to take them away, so please keep your dog on a lead and make sure a responsible adult is looking after it.

We accept accredited guide dogs in all our serviced accommodation and in all areas of our parks This does mean we can’t absolutely guarantee that we have never had any dogs in our serviced accommodation.

Dogs must always be kept on leads (not exceeding 2m) and mustn’t be left unaccompanied. Please clean up after your dogs and use the dog waste bin provided. We ask that you carry a poop scoop and clear up any accidents immediately. Poop bins are located throughout the park. Dogs must not be left unattended in caravans or tents.
