Terms And Conditions
Changing a Booking: If the Guest wishes to make a change to their arrival or departure date after the booking confirmation has been issued, this is only possible, subject to availability. The modification request must be received in writing by the Company before a revised booking confirmation can be issued. The Guest will not be able to select an alternative Accommodation as this would be regarded as a cancellation.

Such requirements must be specified at the time of booking and confirmed by the Company. If the Guest suffers from allergic reactions, please take note that although certain Accommodations are advertised as NOT allowing pets, the Company cannot guarantee that pets have never been in that Accommodation and cannot be held liable in such circumstances.
Complaints Procedure: In the event of any problem or issue arising on the agreed arrival date or during the stay, the Guest should immediately bring this to the attention of the Company.

The Company regrets that compensation claims cannot be considered after the stay has ended if there was no prior notification.
Alternative Accommodation: Occasionally, it may be necessary to make a material change to the holiday arrangements due to reasons such as a property being withdrawn from the Company’s portfolio. In this event, the Company will endeavor to offer an Accommodation of a comparable standard and price to the Guest.
