3. Pre-Authorisation

A pre-authorisation may be taken on your card prior to arrival. This does not represent a charge but guarantees funds are available to cover any incidental charges or damages incurred during your stay.

4. Changes & Cancellations (Individual bedroom bookings)

• Non-refundable rates: Full payment is taken at the time of booking and is non-refundable and non-transferable.

5. Corporate Reservations

Corporate bookings are subject to the agreed company terms. Where no agreement is in place, cancellations made after confirmation will incur a charge equivalent to the first night of the stay. If cancelled during a stay, the remainder of the booking for the week in which the booking was cancelled will be charged.

6. Prices & Rates

You will always find our best available rates when booking direct and on our website. Rates quoted apply only to the specific number of guests, room type, and dates booked. Any changes may result in rate adjustments.

8. Damage & Loss

We take great pride in maintaining our historic property and furnishings.
