Please note the cancellation policy before committing to a reservation.
A deposit of 20% of the tariff is required within seven days of the date of making a booking to secure your reservation. Bookings will lapse if the deposit is not received within 10 days. On receipt of the deposit we will send you a booking confirmation. The remaining 80% balance payment must be paid 10 weeks prior to arrival. If booking within 10 weeks of the commencement date of the booking payment is required in full. Payment can be made by cash, direct bank transfer (BACS) or cheque. We CANNOT accept credit cards.
Deposits are non-transferable and non-refundable except in circumstances deemed exceptional by ourselves and at our discretion.
Cancellation by the Guest
We are a small business, so cancellations can have a big impact on us, especially if we have turned away other potential bookings in favour of someone who has already booked and who then cancels. We do, however, appreciate that unforeseen circumstances can intervene, and we try to be as sympathetic and helpful as possible in such cases.
We respectfully advise guests that the following charges apply to all delays and cancellations:
When cancellations occur, every effort will be made to re-let the property for the cancelled period and you will not be liable for any further costs if the cancelled period is successfully relet.
After the booking is made and the deposit is paid any cancellation will incur a cancellation fee of ⅔ of the final balance, unless the accommodation can be re-let.
If cancellation is within 30 days of arrival the full cost will be due unless the accommodation can be re-let.
We take all bookings in good faith, as we are unable to judge reasons for change, cancellation or non-arrival, guests are reminded that no exceptions to the above conditions will be made and that any booking made with ‘4 Golden Bay' for accommodation forms a legally binding contract. For this reason we advise that you take out a suitable insurance product to cover against unexpected costs such as cancellation fees. In addition, we may take legal action, through the Courts, to recover any outstanding debts.
Cancellation by Us
Should it become necessary for us to cancel a booking we will contact you immediately. Any payments made will be refunded in full. Should you wish to, we will attempt to book you into another local accommodation of the same or lower grading in a similar standard. Should this establishment be more expensive than 7 Spanish Ledge, we will pay the difference. Our liability will not extend beyond these conditions.
Damage and Breakages
Please take care of our flat. You are responsible and liable for any breakages or damages which you cause to the accommodation or its contents. Please report these as soon as they occur especially if you accidentally spill something – it’s much easier to clean if we know what it is and act quickly. We do not normally charge for breakages, but we reserve the right to charge for repair or making good if the damage is significant.
