Please note – When you submit a booking via our online reservation system you will receive an automatically generated booking summary by email to the email address you provide in the booking form. This does not form a contract between us. A contract shall only arise when your deposit is accepted by us and the booking is subsequently confirmed by email.
By paying Bettws Court Retreats Ltd you are agreeing that you have read these Terms and Conditions and agree to be bound by them.
Bettws Court Retreats includes Barn Owl Retreat, Peregrine Retreat and Kestrel Retreat.
The contract for a short-term holiday rental will be between the Bettws Court Retreats Ltd Owners (referred to as “us” or “we”) and the person making the booking and all members of the holiday party (referred to as “you” or “your”) in the following booking conditions. UK law will govern the Contract. The person making the booking (‘the booker”) certifies that all members of the holiday party are aware of the terms and conditions of this contract and agree to be bound by them. All members of the party are jointly and severally liable under it. They agree that all communication with them can be through the booker. Your submission of a booking form constitutes an irrevocable offer to enter into a contract. This contract of hire is not effective until we have processed the deposit and confirmed receipt via email. The contract will be subject to these booking conditions, and must be complied with. Both members of the party must be at least 18 years of age at the time of booking and at least two weeks prior to arrival we must be provided with a list containing the names and ages of all guests. We must be kept informed of changes to contact details, addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses.
Our prices are in Pounds GB inclusive of VAT at the current rate. They are fully inclusive of electricity, heating, bed linen, hand and bath towels, see website for more details.
We are usually happy to hold provisional bookings for up to 2 days.
A deposit of 30% of the rental is payable when booking. Deposits must be paid through our payment processor (Holiday Rent Payment) at the time of booking online. We will review your booking – bookings are only confirmed, and this contract entered, when payment has been accepted and an email of confirmation has been sent, until this point no booking is treated as complete.
A reminder email will be sent ten weeks before your arrival. The balance is payable eight weeks before the arrival date. We reserve the right to cancel a holiday where payment has not been received eight weeks before the commencement date. If a booking is made within eight weeks of the arrival date, the full cost of the rental must be paid immediately. Our preferred method of payment for the balance is via BACS (account information will be provided on request of balance). The main booker can also log on to their booking and pay via Holiday Rent Payment (instructions given online after booking).
Cancellations must be immediately notified to us by phone and confirmed in writing by email. Once received in writing we will confirm the cancellation request. Please note that any refund given to you when cancelling your reservation may be subject to deductions, as set out in these terms:
Any refund will be made within 14 days of re-let or on the scheduled date of departure from the original booking (in the event we are unable to re-let the property).
We therefore strongly recommend you take out your own travel insurance (see below).
We strongly advise that you obtain appropriate travel insurance for the UK which covers booking cancellations. Travel Insurance is available at very affordable rates and gives you the peace of mind that you will get your money back if you need to cancel your holiday. There are several suitable options (which also include cover for COVID-related cancellations, e.g. falling ill with Covid (or any other illness), if instructed to self-isolate or quarantine etc):
Trailfinders – https://www.trailfinders.com/insurance#/step1
PJ Hayman – https://www.pjhayman.com/travel-insurance/staycationplan/
Coverwise – https://www.coverwise.co.uk/Travel-Insurance/corona-virus.aspx
Or you can look for suitable cover on comparison sites such as www.gocompare.com.
Bettws Court Retreats Ltd is not selling, promoting, endorsing or recommending any particular product, and does not benefit financially from, or have any formal relationship with any of these providers.
You must carefully read all the information within the insurance policy before purchasing cover as information is continually changing, therefore it is vital you purchase cover that is relevant for your requirements.
If you choose not to purchase travel insurance, then you accept responsibility for any loss that you may incur due to your cancellation.
If for any reason we have to cancel your booking in advance due to circumstances beyond our control at our site – for example fire, flood, exceptional weather conditions or destruction/damage to the property – then we will offer you alternative dates, or we will refund the full amount of the booking. If we have to terminate your holiday early for the above reasons you will be credited/refunded part of the booking fee value based on the time remaining of the booking. This will be the full extent of the liability of the Owners. No additional compensation, expenses or costs will be payable.
For all bookings this is any unforeseeable event that is beyond the control of Bettws Court Retreats Ltd. This means we do NOT cover you for your holiday being unavailable due to flood, drought, earthquake or natural disasters, terror attacks, acts of war, hijacking, riots, incidents of civil unrest, nuclear radiation or radiative contamination, terrorism, pandemics, epidemics, general restrictions on movement imposed by local or national Government, interruption or failure of utility service, non-performance by suppliers or any act of god, which may prevent you from taking your holiday. We are not liable to provide a refund for these events to any booking and strongly recommend you have appropriate holiday insurance to cover this possibility (see above). If you choose not to then you accept responsibility for any loss that you may incur due to your cancellation.
