1. Your booking 

1.1. We reserve the right to accept or decline bookings entirely at our discretion.  

1.2. Your contract with us will begin when we issue you with your booking confirmation and will be based on the terms and conditions set out in this document.  

1.3. We may offer you the option of provisionally holding a booking if you contact us by telephone or email. We’ll let you know how long we can provisionally hold your booking for when you contact us. If you don’t confirm your booking by that time, the accommodation will be released for general sale.  

1.4. All bookings are confirmed when we issue you with your booking confirmation. Your booking confirmation will detail the dates of your booking, the total amount payable for your booking and the dates on which payments are due. We’ll issue you with your booking confirmation by email or, if requested, by post.

1.6. No Children are allowed in Y Twll.  

1.7. We can only discuss your bookings (including any changes) with you – we can’t discuss your booking with another member of your party unless you give express consent in writing for us to do so.  

2. Paying for your Booking 

2.1. For bookings (i) made 8 weeks or more in advance or (ii) of over £100, you must pay us half of the total amount payable for your booking at the time of booking. We must then receive the balance by the date set out in your booking confirmation (which will generally be 8 weeks before the start of your stay).  

2.2. For bookings (i) made less than 8 weeks in advance or (ii) of £100 or less, you must pay us the total amount payable for your booking at the time of booking. 

2.3. If you don’t make any payment by the date it is due, we’ll remind you by post, email or telephone. If you fail to make the relevant payment within 14 days of the due date, we’ll assume you want to cancel your booking. If this happens, your booking will immediately be cancelled and the cancellation charges set out in Section 4.3 (“If you want to cancel your booking”) will apply.  

2.4. We will only accept payment by cheque where the cheque is drawn from a bank based in the United Kingdom; this is because of the additional costs and processing time for cheques outside this area.  

4. If you want to cancel your booking 

4.1. Your contract with us is a contract for the provision of leisure accommodation on a specific date or dates and this means that you do not have a statutory right to change your mind and cancel the contract. We do, however, offer you the right to cancel your contract subject to the provisions of this Section 4.  

4.2. If you wish to cancel a confirmed booking you must let us know by email or in writing as soon as possible and, in any event, prior to the first day of your booking. Your booking will be cancelled with effect from the day we receive your email or written notification and will be subject to the cancellation charges set out in Section 4.3 below.  

4.3. Our cancellation charges are calculated according to the time between when we receive notification from you that you wish to cancel your booking and the start of your booking. Our cancellation charges are set out below:  

4.4. If you cancel your booking after the booking start date, we will not issue you any refund for any remaining nights of your booking. To clarify, this includes when you cancel your booking for any reason outside of your reasonable control, including without limitation, inclement weather and illness. We strongly recommend you take out holiday insurance to compensate you in these circumstances.

5.1. If you want to change any detail of your confirmed booking you must let us know by telephone, by email or in writing as soon as possible.  

5.2. Whilst we’ll do our best to accommodate you, we can’t guarantee that we’ll be able to meet any request for changes. Please note that it’s not possible for us to change bookings less than 30 days prior to the start of your holiday. Any reduction in the number of nights will be treated as a partial cancellation and cancellation charges calculated in accordance with clause 4.3 may apply.  

5.3. If we do change your booking, you must pay us an administration fee of £25 to cover the costs we incur in making the change to your booking. You must also pay us any additional costs due as a result of the change – we’ll confirm the amount of any additional costs due at the time we change your booking. If the costs are lower as a result of the change, we’ll refund you the difference at the time we change your booking, after deducting the administration fee referred to above and, if applicable, any cancellation charges.  

6. If we need to change or cancel your booking 

6.1. We don’t expect to have to make changes to your booking, however sometimes problems happen and bookings have to be changed or cancelled.  

We will only change or cancel your booking:  

6.1.1. if necessary to perform or complete essential remedial or refurbishment works; or  

6.1.2. for other reasons unforeseen at the time you made your booking which are beyond our reasonable control. This may include occasions where Y Twll becomes inaccessible due to a Meteorological Office Severe Weather Warning or other severe weather event.  

6.2. If we do need to change or cancel your booking for the reason set out in Section 6.1.1 we will do our best to offer you a suitable alternative booking.

6.3. If we do need to change or cancel your booking in line with Section 6.1.1, we’ll only be responsible for foreseeable losses that you suffer as a result of that change or cancellation and we will not be responsible for any unforeseeable losses you suffer as a result of that change or cancellation. A loss is foreseeable if it is an obvious consequence of our change or cancellation of your booking or if it was contemplated by you and us at the time we entered into this contract.  

6.4. If we do need to change or cancel your booking in line with Section 6.1.2 because it becomes impossible to deliver the booking due to unforeseen events beyond our reasonable control, we'll do our best to offer you a suitable alternative booking for either the same dates or alternative dates. If you don’t accept the alternative we offer, the booking will be deemed cancelled and no refund of any amounts paid will be offered.
