Thank you for choosing to book with Crow How – we look forward to welcoming you.

When you make this booking you are entering into an agreement with us. Please carefully read our terms and conditions of booking below.

Prices: The price includes accommodation plus any board indicated. Unless clearly stated on the booking form all extras such as, telephone, drinks etc are additional. We accept the following forms of payment: cash, debit cards, credit cards, but no cheques. The tariff booked is the payable amount whether or not any price reductions occur at a later date. We have the right to change our tariffs at any time.

Payment Details: When booking a room we will require your valid credit/debit card details to secure the reservation. If the reservation has been made via telephone or through our Online System we will deduct the amount of £50.00 per room from your chosen card at the time of booking. The remaining balance will paid upon the guests departure.  If the card used has been found to be invalid the booking will be cancelled. If a booking is made through a 3rd party agent such as Booking.com, Expedia etc then a deposit equivalent to the cost of the first night stay is taken at the time of booking. If booked within 14 days of arrival then the full cost of the stay will be charged at the time of booking. If a non-refundable rate is chosen at the time of booking the full amount will be taken – this will not be refunded under any circumstance. 

Cancellation and Insurance: A valid debit/credit card will be required at the time of booking as security against cancellation. Once you have booked your stay with us our agreement is a legal contract. With your agreement that if the booking is cancelled within 7 days of arrival (from 3:00 pm that afternoon)  or in case of a no show (any guest not turning up on the stated and confirmed arrival date is classed as a no show with the reservation being cancelled and the room being re-let) , then we have the right to charge the full amount of your reservation to your credit/debit card. Any booking cancelled before 7 days of arrival will be entitled to the deposit being refunded. If booked through a 3rd party booking agent, any booking cancelled before 14 days of arrival will be entitled to the deposit being refunded. Guests are required to make the cancellation through the booking agent.

If staying over the Easter Period (Friday to Monday inclusive), any Bank Holiday Period (Friday to Monday inclusive) or between December 27th to January 1st then If the booking is cancelled within 14 days of arrival (from 3:00 pm that afternoon) or in case of a no show, then we have the right to charge the full amount of your reservation to your credit/debit card. Any booking cancelled before 14 days of arrival will be entitled to the deposit being refunded.

It is completely at our discretion as to whether any refund is given, as is the amount of the refund, due to exceptional cancellation circumstances within the cancellation period. Whether booked directly through us, or from a booking agent, if, for whatever reason, other than any gross error on our part in failure to provide the advertised accommodation, you wish to leave before your agreed stay duration, you will be charged the full amount based on the number of nights stated in your confirmed reservation. In the event of any guest refusing to pay any cancellation charges due, or if their card is found to be invalid or has been declined we may take legal action. We highly recommend all guests have insurance to cover costs of cancellation, curtailment, and loss of baggage, personal effects and money.

Offers: A reservation which is inclusive of any offer will be charged a deposit at the rate of our normal room price. This will be also be the amount payable if any cancellation is made which incurs charges.

Reservation alterations: If we consent to a guest moving their reservation to a different date the highest tariff will apply ie. moving from a lower tariff date to a higher tariff date the higher amount will apply, from a higher tariff date to a lower tariff date the higher amount will still apply. This is also applicable through 3rd party booking agencies.

Failure to pay: If the guest leaves without paying we have the right to charge the guests total stay tariff to the card used to secure their booking.

No-Show: If the guest does not show for the first night of their reservation the full amount of their stay will be charged to the card used to secure the booking.

Non-availability: We would only cancel your booking if your accommodation was unavailable for reasons beyond our control. We would attempt to offer you alternative accommodation, however if this was not possible, or unacceptable to you, then we would refund all monies paid by you. Our liability would not extend beyond this refund.

Online Booking: Bookings made through our own on-line service are provisional only until we confirm the reservation via email within 24 hours of the booking being made. We have the right to cancel the reservation within the 24 hours and will notify the person who made the booking via email.

If the alternative room offered has the same facilities as the original bedroom then no deposit refund will be given if the guest chooses to cancel their booking. This will only amount to the deposit paid and not the total cost of their stay. If the bedroom offered is not of an equal standard, and if the guest wishes to cancel, their deposit will be returned.
