RESERVATIONS
1) Asheston Eco Barns want you to have a happy holiday but we cannot guarantee this or any acts of God and we therefore need to make you aware of the terms and conditions of your letting arrangement.

2) The description of the property is as accurate as possible but cannot be warranted, nor does the description form any contract. The Company reserves the right to alter or improve any of the barns or accommodation or area surrounding without notice.

3) All prices shown may be subject to change and you should please check the price at the time of booking. All bookings will be accepted under and governed by English law. Once you have booked with us you have entered into a contract and you are legally bound to pay us the full amount. If you are concerned that you might cancel your booking and lose the amount of money that you have paid or agreed to pay then you should consider taking out cancellation insurance from a reputable supplier.

4) A deposit of 30% of the total booking must be paid within 48 hours of the online booking request being made. The balance is due two months before the start of the holiday WITHOUT REMINDER FROM THE COMPANY, or at the same time as the deposit is paid if the start of the holiday is within two months of the booking request date. The Company reserves the right to declare the contract void, the deposit forfeit and to re-let the accommodation should the balance not have been received within the time limit.

5) A security deposit of £100 per barn is payable at the time of the booking, which is refundable if the property has been left in a satisfactory condition. For group bookings over the New Year period only a security deposit of £500 is required.

6) When you submit a booking via our online reservation system you will receive an automatically generated booking summary by email to the email address you provide in the booking form. This does not form a contract between us. A contract shall only arise when your booking is subsequently confirmed in writing via a letter of confirmation sent to you by post or email.

CANCELLATION
7) Cancellations must be immediately notified to us by phone and confirmed in writing. The treatment of a cancellation will depend on a) the date the booking was made, b) when the cancellation is made and c) what travel restrictions are in place:

8) Bookings placed between 01/08/2020 and 08/01/2021 have Cancellation Protection cover under our Master Cancel Policy if you cancel between 60 days and 2 days prior to arrival.
1. If you cancel from 60 days up to and including 2 days before check-in date, you will receive a full refund of the lodging costs you have paid. Only lodging costs are refunded. Additional extras, including but not limited to cleaning fees, tax and other ancillary charges are not refunded. Refund payments for cancelled bookings will be released back to the cancelling guest on the scheduled date of check-out of the original booking. Cancellations made 1 day prior to, or on the day of check-in will not be eligible for refund. Example: for a check-in on Saturday you could cancel the prior Thursday before 16.00 and be reimbursed in full, but not on Friday (1 day prior) or Saturday (day of check-in). For this reason, we strongly recommend you take out your own travel insurance for UK holidays which covers booking cancellations. This is available at very affordable rates and gives you the peace of mind that you will get your money back if you need to cancel your holiday. If you choose not to then you accept responsibility for any loss that you may incur due to your cancellation.
2. If you cancel 61 or more days before check-in date, we will endeavour to re-let the property for those dates. If we are able to re-let your dates, we will refund you the deposit amount (which may be less than you paid – e.g. if the final letting price was discounted or only some of the days are re-let) less an administration fee of £30. If we are unable to re-let you remain responsible for the deposit and there will be no refund under any circumstances. For this reason, we strongly recommend you take out your own travel insurance for UK holidays which covers booking cancellations. This is available at very affordable rates and gives you the peace of mind that you will get your money back if you need to cancel your holiday. If you choose not to then you accept responsibility for any loss that you may incur due to your cancellation. You will be reimbursed at check-out date of original booking.

9) For Bookings placed after 08/01/2021 the following terms and conditions apply as these bookings are not cancellation protected. This means that that if you cancel before the date the balance is due, and we are able to re-let your dates, we will refund you the deposit amount (which may be less than you paid – eg if the final letting price was discounted or only some of the days are re-let) less an administration fee of £30. If we are unable to re-let you remain responsible for the deposit and there will be no refund under any circumstances. You will be reimbursed at check-out date of original booking. From 42 days before check-in to the day of check-in, you remain responsible for the full rent and there will be no refund unless we are able to re-let your dates, in which case we will refund you all or part of the sum you have paid, depending on the value of the replacement booking, less a £30 administration fee or agency fee if incurred. You will be reimbursed at check-in date of the original or replacement booking, whichever has the later arrival date. We would strongly advise that guests take out a travel insurance policy which covers booking cancellations. This is available at very affordable rates and gives you the peace of mind that you will get your money back if you need to cancel your holiday. If you choose not to then you accept responsibility for any loss that you may incur due to your cancellation.
10) The following terms apply as our Covid refund guarantee, in the case of a national lockdown or travel restrictions. In the case of a national lockdown being in place or the address on the booking form being put into a Tier by the Government which has a “Do Not Travel” restriction, then a refund will be given in full less our booking fee of £30. This does not cover cancellation for guests for falling ill with Covid-19 (or any other illness), for a requirement to self-isolate or quarantine, or for a Track & Trace alert which prevents you from travelling. For this reason, we strongly recommend you take out your own travel insurance for UK holidays which covers booking cancellations. This is available at very affordable rates and gives you the peace of mind that you will get your money back if you need to cancel your holiday. If you choose not to then you accept responsibility for any loss that you may incur due to your cancellation. You will be reimbursed at check-out date of original booking.

11) Should the Company have to cancel the holiday for any reason; every effort will be made to find suitable, alternative accommodation. If this is not possible, an immediate refund will be made of all monies paid by the hirer to the Company for the accommodation booked. No further financial claims against the Company will be considered.

CIRCUMSTANCES ON SITE BEYOND THE CONTROL OF THE OWNER
1. If for any reason we have to cancel your booking in advance due to circumstances beyond our control at our site – for example fire, flood, or destruction/damage to the property – then we will at our sole discretion seek to find you comparable accommodation for your dates, or will offer you alternative dates, a full value voucher, or we will refund the full amount of the booking. If we have to terminate your holiday early for the above reasons you will be relocated/credited/refunded part of the booking fee value based on the time remaining of the booking. This will be the full extent of the liability of the Owners. No additional compensation, expenses or costs will be payable.

FORCE MAJEURE
Other than holidays covered by the Cancellation Protection conditions above, we do NOT cover you for your holiday being unavailable due to natural disasters, terror attacks, acts of war, hijacking, riots, incidents of civil unrest, pandemics, epidemics, or general restrictions on movement imposed by local or national Government, which may prevent you from taking your holiday. We would strongly advise that guests take out a travel insurance policy which covers booking cancellations.
