If your reservation is due to commence on or after the 5th July 2020 then your reservation is still active at the moment and provided the lockdown is lifted and the sites can open then we can still offer you the same hire property at the same price from the 5th July 2020 onwards

For reservations up to the 4th July 2020 all customers will be contacted over the coming days and no later than 25th May 2020 to inform them how to cancel their reservation and obtain a refund. Contact will be via a automated text with further instructions. Please note if you have already cancelled your reservation through your choice or none payment than you will not be contcated because your reservation will be inactive
What are my rights under the Consumer Rights Act?
Consumer Rights states that you are entitled to a refund in the event that we cannot offer you the service that we agreed to provide you with. The service we offer and agree to provide is self catering holiday accommadtion hire within the UK. Please see the section above "what service do you offer" for more information about the service(s) we provide
In addition to the Consumer Rights Act that states a refund, it has been mentioned that companies can also offer customers the option if they wish to transfer reservations to a later date subject to availablilty on the same terms as the current reservation or on more favourable terms if available. From the 16th April 2020, we are no longer offering the option of transfers
We try to be as transparent as we can and the last thing we want is for a customer to be unhappy or for matters to esculate that could be resolved and as such your consumer rights are very important to us and we do our best to make sure that we provide you with and obide with the rights you are entitled to and if you think we have not met your consumer rights, please do contact us on 0330 330 9593 so that we can look at the reasons why you feel that we have not met your rights and if appliacable what we can do to rectify something if we have got it wrong
Can I cancel now?
You can cancel your reservation at anytime but the cancellation terms and conditions you agreed to will apply and no refunds will be issued to you in the event you cancel the reservation hire, this is regardless of reason for cancellation because it will be you opting to cancel the reservation at that stage. Please also see "will you cancel my reservation" for more info
Will you cancel my reservation if you are closed?
Yes, if we tell you that we will have to cancel your reservation in the event we are closed and cannot provide you the service we agreed with you (holiday accommodation hire) due to the current lockdown or holiday park closures, then we will offer you a full refund at the point if we cancel your reservation.
Are you still taking my payment?
Your payment will still be payable as per the terms and conditions you agreed to at the time of your reservation, which are shown on your hire agreement and reservation paperwork. In the event your payment is declined and or not made by you on the agreed due date or within 24 hours of the due date, then we will cancel your reservation on the basis of none payment from you and the cancellation terms and conditions you agreed to will apply to your reservation. In the event balances are not paid on their due date or are declined, we will keep your reservation open for period of 24 hours from the balance due date and we will try to contact you, however as mentioned above where payments are not made or declined the reservation will be cancelled and the terms and conditions relating to cancellations will apply to your reservation due to your none payment. To make payments please call 0330 330 9593 between 12pm till 6pm
All payments made to us are held in a credit account until such time the holiday hire service that we offer has been provided to you or in the event we have to cancel your reservation due to our closure then the payment will be refunded to you as mention above
Please note we do not offer credit notes or refunds by cheque, bank transfer or cash
Can you issue a credit note for a later reservation?
Some companies have chosen to offer credit notes and money off vouchers for use at a later date to customers in exchange for not cancelling reservation, we have chosen not to do this because we do not feel it is within your consumer rights and as a business it is not something we feel suits our business
Please note we do not offer refunds by cheque, bank transfer or cash
We do try to provide customers with discount vouchers for local business or attractions but for the purpose of clarification these types of vouchers are provided to our customer as good will and not in exchange for cancellations. We can only issue vouchers to customers subject to us being able to obtain them and we also do not benefit from vouchers that we issue/provide
