Legal Policies

 

Legal Policies & Disclaimer: Updated 4th January 2019

 

The management reserve the right to refuse accommodation to anyone without providing a reason.

Bookings and cancellation: By making a booking you are entering into a legal contract. However we appreciate that circumstances may arise causing cancellation or curtailment of a booking. If you wish to cancel or change your booking, you must do so by telephoning the hotel no less than 48 hours before your stay is due to commence (excluding Pride, Christmas, New Year and major conference events see below). Whilst we make every effort to re-let accommodation, we reserve the right to charge 100% of our full tariff on every room booked.   All ‘Advanced Purchase’ and ‘Pay and Save’ bookings are non-refundable.  For bookings made within 48 hours of arrival it follows that the full amount will be due.

Liability: Other than for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or fraudulent misrepresentation, our total liability to you is limited to the price of the booking and in no circumstances, will we be responsible to you for any indirect or special damages.  We will not be liable for failure to provide the services to the extent that the failure is caused by any factor beyond our reasonable control. You are responsible for any damage or loss caused to us, including any damage to our property by your act, omission, default or neglect and you agree to indemnify us and you agree to pay us on demand the amount reasonably required to make good or remedy any such damage or loss. Further, all reservations are non-transferable and we reserve the right to cancel or modify reservations where it appears a customer is engaged in fraudulent or inappropriate activity or under any other circumstances where it appears that the reservation contains or resulted from a mistake or error by the hotel or its agents.

On arrival at the hotel, we would ask that you show your confirmation email and the payment card used to pay for the booking.  Proof of identity may also be requested.  We also reserve the right to pre-authorise your payment card for a minimum of £50 or seek a cash security deposit.

Force Majeure: In no event shall the hotel be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, equipment failure, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the hotel maintains good service records and shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

Children/Extra Beds/Cots:  Cots/extra beds can be provided upon request. Fee applies. Requests must be made at time of booking.

Package Cancellation Policy:  Pride, Christmas, New Year and major conference events are considered packages and therefore must be cancelled no less than 14 days before your stay is due to commence otherwise we reserve the right to charge 100% of our full tariff on every room booked.  For your protection we recommend taking out insurance cover.

Damages & Disturbances:  All damage and nuisance to other guests, as assessed by the hotel’s management, may result in additional charges.  The hotel is non smoking/vaping throughout and guests will be assessed a minimum £100 cleaning fee if they smoke/vape while within the premises.
