Booking Procedure
- Step 1. Complete and return the booking form online with a £100 deposit for each person booking. In the case of reservations made on the phone return the form within 14 days otherwise we will feel free to reallocate the reservation. IF YOU ARE BOOKING LESS THAN EIGHT WEEKS BEFORE DEPARTURE PLEASE INCLUDE THE FULL PAYMENT.
- Step 2. We confirm your booking and issue an invoice for payment of the balance for the full amount which is due not less than 8 weeks before departure. We are happy to receive payment by debit card, credit card online or by telephone (or cheque through the post) but note there is a clearing charge of 2.8% on credit card payments. Note if your holiday has not achieved minimum numbers when you make your final payment, we will not take your payment until the holiday is confirmed at which time we will contact you to let you know.
- Step 3. All information specific to your chosen holiday is issued with receipt for the full amount.
Group Size and Minimum Numbers
Most holidays have a maximum of 16 and require a minimum number of 6. In the unlikely event that a holiday does not attract 6 bookings within 8 weeks of the day of departure we reserve the right to modify or cancel the holiday. In which case we will let you know immediately and offer either a modified holiday or alternative holidays. If they are not acceptable we will return all monies including the deposit. We strongly recommend that you do not make any non-refundable or non-changeable travel arrangements until after the holiday has been confirmed.
