You must be over the age of 18 to make a booking, and by making a booking you are representing that you are of sufficient legal age and capacity to use our website and to create binding legal obligations for any liability you may incur as a result of such use.

Booking Contract

Please check that all the details of your booking confirmation meet with your requirements. Acceptance of this confirmation approves your approval of your choice of provider(s) and that provider(s) terms and conditions, and constitutes a contract thereon.

The provider(s) booked for you by us is as an agent of that provider(s), as such any contract for your booking is directly between you and the provider(s). Prior to your departure you should check the details of your booking with the provider(s).

Accommodation bookings are for room only plus any board arrangements as stated on your booking confirmation and do not include any additional expenses such as meals, drinks, use of telephones, and use of facilities. These arrangements should be discussed with the provider(s) directly.

If you fail to take up the booking by the time stated without prior arrangement with the provider(s) then your booking will be deemed to be cancelled and deposit(s) forfeited. The provider may also charge you a cancellation fee. This may also be the case if you cancel a booking (see Cancelling Bookings)
