All prices include VAT, unless it is VAT exempt products, and are subject to change without prior notice.

Access to accommodation will only be given when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the accommodation booked.

The price of any accommodation available will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.

These prices, including VAT, where applicable, but exclude certain additional charges such as deposits and housekeeping charges which will be added to the total amount due and set out prior to you placing your booking.

Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a booking confirmation.

Our site contains a large number of accommodation options and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the properties and services listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our confirmation procedures so that, where an accommodation’s correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when charging the accommodation to you. If an accommodation’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our website, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before confirmation, or reject your booking and notify you of such rejection.

We are under no obligation to provide the accommodation to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Booking Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.
