Booking Alteration

 

1.  If you are forced to cancel your holiday due to unforeseen circumstances, you must inform us immediately via email. We will endeavour to re-let the property but you will remain liable for full payment if you cancel within 8 weeks of your start date, and if we cannot re-let you will not be entitled to a refund of the rental amount.

 

If you cancel more than 8 weeks before your start date, the security/damages deposit will be forfeited if we are unable to re-let the property.

 

2.  You are strongly advised to take out appropriate cancellation and travel insurance for your holiday.

 

3.  Slate Mill Lodge reserves the right in the interests of safety or any other reason beyond their control to cancel or alter arrangements made for you. In this unlikely event we guarantee to return to you any payment/charges made IN FULL, including the deposit.
