Payment Policy
Reservations
Please note the cancellation policy before committing to a reservation.
For us to confirm a reservation send us an email confirming that you would like to book, the dates and a contact telephone number. We will sent a confirmation or invoice detailing everything. You will be liable for the full cost of the reservation if you cancel giving less than 10 days notice or you do not show.
The exception to this policy is for bookings at peak times and / or special events where we reserve the right to take a deposit payment equivalent to the room(s) single night rate. You will be informed of this at the time of booking.
Bookings made online may be subject to different terms and conditions in force at the time of booking to protect your security in carrying out the reservation and providing credit card details over the internet.
Cancellation Policy
Cancellation by the Guest
We are a small concern, so cancellations can have a big impact on us, especially if we have turned away potential guests in favour of someone who has already booked and who then cancels. We do, however, appreciate that unforeseen circumstances can intervene, and we try to be as sympathetic and helpful as possible in such cases.
If you provide us with more than ten days notice prior to your arrival date no charge will be made or any payments made in advance will be fully refunded.
If you cancel your reservation within ten days of your arrival date, you may still be charged or any payments made in advance will not be refunded. This rule still applies if you have booked within 10 days of your stay.
Guests failing to arrive, without notification, may be responsible for a charge equivalent to the total reservation price.
We take all bookings in good faith, as we are unable to judge reasons for change, cancellation or non-arrival, guests are reminded that no exceptions to the above conditions will be made and that any booking made with Pea Cottage for accommodation (verbal or written) forms a legally binding contract. For this reason, we advise that you take out a suitable insurance product to cover against your reservation costs in the event of ill health or unforeseen circumstances. Also, we may take legal action, through the Courts, to recover any outstanding debts.
Cancellation by Us
Should it become necessary for us to cancel a booking we will contact you immediately. Any payments made will be refunded in full. Should you wish to, we will attempt to book you into another local accommodation using our local contacts. Should this establishment be more expensive than Pea Cottage, we will pay the difference for the first night of your stay. Our liability will not extend beyond these conditions.
Car Parking
A car park is available for guests’ use at the side of the property. Cars parked here are at owners risk.
