Park Hall
Country Cottages Terms and Conditions
- Contract - A
booking Contract is entered into between Park Hall Country
Cottages and the Client upon receiving guaranteed payment
information from the Client in the form of debit or credit card
details guaranteeing payment for the booking or upon receipt of
an actual payment made by credit or debit card, bank transfer,
banker’s draft, bank cheque or by cash payment in sterling
pounds. The booking Contract becomes binding when Park Hall
Country Cottages receives and accepts the guaranteed credit or
debit card payment details or actual payment made by credit or
debit card, bank transfer, banker’s draft, bank cheque or by
cash payment in sterling pounds. This Contract shall be governed
by and subject to the laws of England and Wales and any dispute
between the Client and Park Hall Country Cottages shall be
submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts in England
and Wales. The booking contract will be subject to all the terms
and conditions below. All booking contracts are non
transferable.
- Deposits - A deposit of
£50 per person for bookings between two and five nights is
payable if the booking is made more than three calendar months
prior to the arrival date. For bookings exceeding five nights a
deposit of one half of the total amount payable is due at the
time of making the booking. For bookings made less than three
calendar months prior to arrival both the deposit and the
balance of the full amount is payable upon booking. All booking
deposits are non-refundable; this includes all guaranteed
payments made at the time of the booking by telephone or email
using a credit or debit card. The balance of the full amount of
the agreed rental for the cottage is due on or before three
calendar months prior to arrival. Payments by credit card will
incur an additional 3.5% charge. Park Hall Country Cottages
shall construe non-payment of the balance of the rental by the
due date, as a cancellation of the booking. It is not compulsory
but Clients may wish to consider taking out personal holiday
insurance, including booking cancellation cover and should
discuss this with their insurance agent.
- Cancellations -
You are strongly recommended to take out travel and holiday
cancellation insurance in case of any unforeseen changes to your
planned arrangements. Any cancellation of a booking
contract must be made in writing to Park Hall Country Cottages
and sent to the address as shown on the confirmation letter. On
receipt of notice of a cancellation, Park Hall Country Cottages
will attempt to re-let the cottage for the period of the
booking. If the cottage is re-let for part or full term of the
booking period, Park Hall Country Cottages will refund the
Client the amount received for the re-letting, up to the value
of the amount the Client paid, less the full rental amount of
any period not re-let and less the initial deposit paid. All
booking deposits are non-refundable; this includes all
guaranteed payments made at the time of the booking by telephone
or email using a credit or debit card. In the event of a
cancellation of a spa relaxation treatment or romantic extras
please allow 7 days notice prior to your arrival date to avoid a
50% charge of the total treatment price; cancellation within 48
hours and ‘No Shows’ will incur a 100% charge. All no shows or
on the day cancellations or cancellations made during the
booking arrival and departure dates will be charged the full
amount of the accommodation including the price of any
relaxation treatments or romantic extras that may have been
booked in advance.

indirectly by the Client, for any damage or breakages to the

Client. It is therefore the Client's responsibility to ensure
the cottage, its furniture, pictures, effects, fixtures and
fixings both in and around the cottage are returned upon
departure in the same state of repair and in the same clean and
tidy condition as found upon arrival. The Client is legally
