Our Holiday Protection Plan

When you choose to include our low-cost holiday protection plan at the time of booking you can rest assured that, should you have to cancel, you will get between 60% to 100% of the money you have paid (less the cost of the insurance of course) subject to receipt of appropriate documentation and fulfillment of

 

makes your changes much more flexible and you'll be able to claim a refund. Here that's not just limited to the coronavirus pandemic but gives you peace of mind that if your plans change later for other unexpected things that crop up you've got the flexibility you need. It's just one of the reasons we get lots of happy returns every year.

​

CANCELLATION

In the event of cancellation, no refunds are made, except under the terms of the Holiday Protection Plan. However, if you have purchased this at the time of booking you will be covered for some of these costs depending on when you cancel and the reason for cancellation. We, therefore, cannot emphasise too strongly the wisdom of taking out this plan or purchasing your own holiday cover if you prefer. 

​

The Holiday Protection Plan fee and any administration charges are non-refundable in any event. Full details of our Holiday Protection Plan are detailed below and can also be found on our website. If our Holiday Protection Plan is not taken at the time of booking you will be liable for the full cost of the booking with NO refund given. If you have purchased your own holiday cover then you will need to liaise directly with your provider.

​

Should you need to cancel your booking for any reason call us immediately on 01271 882334 and we will advise you of the procedure and email a Cancellation Form to you. Cancellation will not take effect until we receive email or written confirmation using the form provided and copies of the relevant documentation as proof of cancellation for the stated reasons. If this is not received before the day of arrival, no refunds will be given. All certificates, information and evidence provided by you shall be at your expense. 

​

Should you need to cancel on the day of arrival or cut your holiday short after it has commenced, we regret that we are unable to refund any monies paid. No refunds can be given if guests depart prior to the end of the booked holiday, unless they do so as the result of the breach of some obligation on our part, which would justify cancelling the holiday, and only if we have been given an opportunity to correct the issue.

​

​

HOLIDAY PROTECTION PLAN

A £1.30 per night charge is payable in addition to the deposit payment and at the time of making the booking. If you are booking online this will automatically be added, but you can choose to remove the charge during the booking procedure. We guarantee that this payment protects you up to and including the day before your holiday commences against loss of monies already paid, excluding the cost of the plan.

​

Qualifying reasons are:

•    Accident or injury, illness or death of any member of your party
•    Redundancy
•    Jury service

 

Appropriate authoritative documents are required e.g. Doctor’s note, Death Certificate, Redundancy Notice under the Payment Act. You are required to inform us immediately and any supporting evidence should be sent to us by recorded delivery or email. We will not be responsible for any emails not received therefore the responsibility to ensure that the documentation is received lies with you, the customer who made the booking. Please note that this plan does not cover adverse weather conditions, mechanical breakdown or accident. Claims outside the specified reasons for cancellation cannot be entertained.

​

In all cases, once your holiday is due to start ie the day of arrival, there’s no transfer or refund of any monies paid and should you cut your holiday short after it has commenced, we regret we’re also unable to make any full or partial refunds or transfers.
