Prices
The prices shown on our website are indicative only and final prices will be shown on your Booking Confirmation.

However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your Contract and the date of your stay, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless already invoiced.
Making a Booking

Payment and Deposit
A deposit of 20% is required at the time of booking if it is more than 6 weeks until your arrival date; if it is 6 weeks or less until your arrival date then payment in full is payable at the time of booking.
