Bookings, payments & cancellations
-
A contract between you and The Lodge will come into existence when payment is received and a booking confirmation is issued showing the confirmed holiday dates. The contract binds you & all the members of your party. It is your responsibility to ensure that all members of your party accept the terms of the contract set out in these terms & conditions of booking. Failure to disclose all relevant information or comply with these terms may lead to termination of the contract & loss of the booking.

A 25% deposit of the holiday cost is payable at the time of booking. All cancellations must be notified in writing. If you cancel more than 8 weeks before your arrival date then you will be refunded in full. If you cancel less than 8 weeks before your arrival date, then an attempt will be made by the owners to relet the property and you will be refunded for the amount that the property is then let for. If the property is not able to be relet then you will not be refunded. Bookings made less than 8 weeks before your arrival date must be paid in full.
