UK FUTURE BOOKINGS (US BORDER REMAINS CLOSED FOR ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN IN THE UK WITHIN THE LAST 14 DAYS) - updated Sep 21

We are currently taking no further bookings from UK-based guests for stays before May 2022 and these will be provisional only.  If the border reopens earlier we will take all bookings again.

• Due to the continuation of the border closure, we will now only be taking a £50 holding charge for UK-based future bookings

• When the UK/US border opens we will contact you to take the remaining deposit (20% Deposit of Rental Amount Secures Booking, balance due 30 days before arrival)

• If the border is still closed 3 months (90 days) prior to your check in date then we may need to cancel your booking and will return the £50 holding charge

• Cancellations are only accepted in writing.  In the event that you cancel your reservation or we have to cancel due to non-payment of scheduled charges then we reserve the right to retain any payments already made according to the payment schedule.

- Cancellation charge of £50 - for cancellations up to 60 days before arrival (rest of deposit returned)

- Cancellation between 60 days before arrival and 30 days before arrival - 50% of deposit returned.

• You are strongly advised to take out adequate holiday/vacation insurance to cover possible cancellations such as illness, testing positive for Covid 19 and not being able to travel or return from your holiday on the booked date.  You may need to quarantine abroad/stay longer in holiday accommodation if you test positive and cannot return home and your insurance should cover these costs.  Please check current FCDO advice on travel to the USA.  Medical insurance is essential for the USA as medical bills are so high.

• You may need to take tests and/or show proof of Covid 19 vaccination to travel in either direction at your own expense.  Please check airline and governments websites to confirm what you need to do.  Check whether you are able to take tests with you for return to the UK as tests are expensive in the USA.
