1.   BOOKING

 a. To make a booking enquiry you should contact us either by telephone, email or using the contact form on our website to enquire of available dates.

b. Once availability has been agreed, you can provisionally book Activities by issuing a written request to us specifying the dates, party number and required activities which you wish to provisionally book. On receipt of your request, subject to availability, we shall reserve the Activities (and dates) specified by you for a period of 14 days. For the avoidance of doubt, at this point no Booking is in place and no contract in force between us. We agree only to reserve the Activities and dates specified you for a period of 14 days.

c. To place a Booking you should complete, sign and return to us a booking form. Booking forms are available for download from our website or are available on request to us. When you submit your booking form you must pay the Deposit using the payment details detailed in clause 2. The Booking constitutes an offer by you to purchase the Activities in accordance with these Conditions.

d. The Booking shall only be deemed to be accepted when we issue written acceptance of the Booking at which point and on which date the Contract shall come into existence. We will not accept your Booking until we have received your booking form and payment of the Deposit.

e. These Conditions apply to the exclusion of any other terms that you seek to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.

f. We may need to update these Conditions from time to time. Where we do we will advise you of the change before we accept your Booking.

g. We cannot accept Bookings by persons under the age of 18.

h. We endeavour to keep published prices and other information up to date but reserve the right to alter them at any time. You will be advised of any price changes or other relevant changes when your Booking is processed and will be given the opportunity then to cancel if desired.

Please note that Bookings can only be made from the 1st Monday in December for the next two years ahead.

 

2.  PAYMENT

a. Method of Payment

Our preferred method of payment is by BACS, but payments by cheque should be made in favour of ‘Grenville House’.

Note: We reserve the right to pass on to you any bank charges and other costs incurred if we have to represent a cheque.

b. Resident Bookings

Where your Booking includes a residential stay at Grenville House, a non-refundable Deposit of £100/night is required. Subsequent pre-payments are required as follows:

i.        25% of the total cost of the Booking 24 weeks prior to booked arrival date.

ii.        50% of the total cost of the Booking 12 weeks prior to booked arrival date.

The final balance to pay will be invoiced upon completion of your visit payable on 20 day terms. Any minor changes to the agreed Activities (including the activity programme) will be reflected in the final balance.

The total cost of the Booking will be calculated using the information provided on the booking form. Until new prices have been set for the following year the prices used will be those for the previous year plus 5%.

c. Non- Resident Bookings

Where your Booking consists only of activities (and no residential stay at Grenville House) the total costs of the Booking shall be payable in full when you submit your booking form.

ii.          Where a suitable alternative date is available and accepted by you we reserve the right to charge you for any loss of profit suffered by us in respect of the change (e.g. if the nightly rate of the original booking is higher than the nightly rate of the alternative dates selected).

b. Cancellation notice:

i.        The Deposit is non-refundable in all circumstances;

ii.        You shall also remain liable for the full amount of the Booking unless we can secure a new Booking for the applicable dates. Payments for the Booking will fall due in accordance with clause 2;

iii.        Where we are able to fill the cancelled Booking in full no further costs shall be payable by you, other than any reasonably incurred administrative costs relating to securing the new Booking (“Administrative Costs”), and where you have made any pre-payments in respect of  the cancelled Booking, we will issue a refund in respect of such pre-payments (save for the Deposit and any Administrative Costs);and
