The VAT breakdown shown is indicative based on the current rate of VAT, and the expected VAT treatment of the goods or services.  VAT will be payable at the prevailing rate applicable at the tax point of the invoice or booking confirmation issued and may change depending on the actual rate and the VAT treatment of the goods and services purchased at that date.

Price lists for additional items, such as restaurant meals and room service, are on display at relevant locations within the hotel and are available on request.

4 – Check-in/ Check-out Requirements

In the interests of security and to prevent fraud, at the time of check-in, guests may be required to confirm their identity by providing their booking reference; their passport/identity card/driving licence and a valid credit or debit card which will be swiped in the presence of the card holder.  If guests are travelling from outside the UK, Ireland or any country in the Commonwealth we are also obliged by law to require guests to provide the number and place of issue of your passport/identity card and details of their next destination. These records will be kept for at least 12 months and may be disclosed or made available for inspection by any police officer or as otherwise required by applicable law in connection with the prevention or investigation of crime.  The information above may be requested for each member of your party over the age of 16 and we reserve the right to refuse entry to persons who cannot provide the information set out above.

Guests may check-in at any time from 15:00 on the scheduled day of arrival.  All rooms that have been secured by credit/debit card or prepaid at the time of booking will he held until 04:00 unless otherwise agreed directly with the hotel. After this point, reservations will be cancelled, subject to the first night’s charge. For reservations of more than one night, we will make every attempt to contact the guest. If we receive no response by 12:00 noon, the remaining nights will be cancelled.

On the day of departure, we kindly ask all guests to vacate their rooms by 11.00.  Late check-out after this time may be requested. This is subject to availability and will be charged at an hourly rate of £20 at the discretion of the hotel. Late checkout is not available after 13:00. After this time, guests must pay for an additional night’s accommodation.

Rooms are subject to maximum occupancy rules set by the hotel. If you would like further details, please contact the hotel.

5 – Payment

We accept the following methods of payment: credit/debit cards including MasterCard, Visa, AMEX, Maestro, and Delta. We do accept pre-paid travel cards. Please check with your supplier that your card is valid before arriving. NB: We do not accept cash payments for accommodation.

All guests are required to present a valid credit/debit card upon arrival. We will process a pre-authorisation for your stay. This will be for the total amount owing for your stay plus £25 per night per room for any extra or incidental charges. For guests staying more than 4 nights, this is capped at £100.

During your stay the hotel’s system will calculate these extra and incidental charges daily.  If the total owed exceeds the authorisation taken on check-in, further authorisation will automatically be requested. If such authorisation is not available, we may request another method of settlement or a deposit to be provided, failing which we reserve the right to restrict access to your room.

All outstanding charges must be paid for in full on check-out from the hotel.  If the outstanding charges do not exceed the authorisation taken on check-in, the authorisation for the amount not utilised will be released. However, we cannot control how long it takes for your bank to affect such release.  If staying for multiple nights at the hotel, we may require you to make payment for any outstanding charges on a more frequent basis during your stay.  If you fail to make a payment on departure, we will charge the card used for the pre-authorisation. This also includes any linked rooms.

6 – Cancellation Policy and No Shows

Rates marked as “Flexible Rate” – These are cancellable without charge up to 14:00 on the day prior to arrival. Cancellation and non-arrival charges apply after the relevant time and will be charged to the credit/debit card supplied at the time of booking.  We reserve the right to charge for one night’s accommodation per room booked if the above cancellation requirements are not met.

Rates marked as “Advance Purchase Rate” – We require full prepayment for the entire stay prior to arrival. Payment will be taken from the card details provided at the time of booking and this is non-refundable and non-transferable. Cancellation or non-arrival will result in the forfeiture of the prepayment.

7 – Changes or Cancellation by the Company

Very occasionally, we may need to cancel your booking. In such circumstances you will be given a full refund, but we shall have no further liability to you arising out of such cancellation.  However, we will use reasonable endeavours to try and re-locate any confirmed booking cancelled by us to an alternative location similar in standard to the hotel.

Your booking is for a class of room in the hotel and does not guarantee that you will be able to stay in a specific room or in the same room for the duration of your stay. If you have indicated a preference for a particular room, we will use our reasonable efforts to honour this preference. However, we may need to allocate an alternative room to you for operational or safety reasons. If we need to move you to a different room during your booking for which a lower rate is available than the rate you booked at, we will refund you the difference in the rates.
