Cancellation policy

You may cancel your hotel break at any time, but if you do so you will have to pay us cancellation charges based on a scale. These charges are to compensate us for the risk of not being able to re-sell your accommodation. When you cancel you must inform us or your travel agent in writing and your cancellation only takes effect from the date we or your travel agent receive your notice in writing, signed by the person who made the booking, together with any travel tickets or vouchers we may already have sent you. Please note that if only part of a booking is cancelled this may mean that the accommodation booked will be under occupied and may result in the remaining guests having to pay any applicable supplements, e.g. changing a twin room to a single.
