Want to make a booking?

Do not leave it too late! Booking early is

important to get the accommodation that you

subject to a minimum of 2 nights.

Specify the dates of arrival and departure;

the number of adults and children; the

number and types of rooms needed and

any special requirements (e.g. parking, meals,

diet, accessibility).

Confirm with the provider the price for your stay

and the deposit required.

By accepting the offer of accommodation either

verbally or in writing, you are making a legally

binding contract. Do ask for their cancellation

terms when booking and notify the establishment

immediately of changes. Compensation maybe

due if accommodation is not taken up as agreed.

Always give an expected arrival time and phone

immediately if you are delayed – accommodation

providers can re-let accommodation if you have

not arrived as agreed.

Taking out holiday insurance is advisable.

Accessible Scheme standards. We indicate those

that may be suitable with an A but you should always

discuss and confirm any special requirements with
