If you have booked via a platform you will need to message us through them or contact the booking platform. We have no control over monies through partner agencies until after your stay date. Your booking will be bound by whatever terms are set by these platforms, which usually allows for little flexibility. Please check the cancellation policy on the platform.

If I cancel will I get my money back?
We strongly reccomend taking UK travel insurance cover for your trips. We will where possible do our best to rebook your accomodation or if possible offer a change of date. There is a booking charge for us refilling your booking and date changes will be specified dates (not weekends/bank holidays or key peak dates). We are a small business. Cancellations and amendments cost us a great deal each year, which we cannot keep doing. If you are giving us very little notice there will be no refund or date change offered - unless the circumstances are exceptional. Please read our terms and conditions before booking which outlines our cancellation policy. We have been as fair as we can to you as a customer and to us. Refunds are available (less card fess) that meet our criteria.
