Bookings and deposits
Bookings can be made by email, phone or by filling in our website 'Enquiry Form'. Bookings must include a name, telephone number and email address. You can also contact us with enquiries on facebook and instagram.
Following receipt of your booking enquiry, we will check availability and confirm this with you by email as soon as possible (usually within 2 working days).
We ask for full payment for 1 or 2 night stays at the time of booking. For bookings of 3 or more nights, we ask for 50% non refundable deposit at the time of booking, with the balance due 7 days prior to arrival. Full payments are required further in advance for TT and MGP/Classic TT (see below). In the event of cancellation, deposits and payments are non refundable unless we can re-let the room/s for your entire stay.
Provisional bookings can only be held for a maximum of 3 days pending receipt of deposit. If payments are not received within 3 days, your booking is cancelled.
Payments
Our preferred payment method is via direct payment online into our bank account. Payment can be also be made by cash or cheque if guests are unable to pay online. Apologies but we are unable to process debit or credit cards.
Cancellation policy
If you need to cancel, you must inform us as soon as possible via email.
In the event of cancellation, your initial deposit/payments/voucher are non-refundable. You will also be liable to pay the balance due to cancellations if we cannot re-let the room/s. If we can re-let the room/s for your entire booking dates, we will offer you a refund at the rate we have been able to rebook the room/s, minus a £30 administration/advertising fee. Bookings and vouchers are not transferable to any other person or parties, and are not to be advertised anywhere for the purpose of resale. We strongly recommend that you take out travel insurance to cover you for any potential reasons that you may need to cancel. Please inform us of any cancellations via email and we will confirm by email that your booking has been cancelled. The same cancellation policy applies if you have booked to stay using a voucher- ie the voucher is not refundable or transferable to another date, and the value of the voucher is lost if we have not been able to re-let the room/s for your entire booking dates.
Cancellation policy re COVID 19, closed borders to the IOM or premises forced to close
If there are no travel restrictions imposed by Government, cancelling due to COVID 19 will be treated as any other illness or cancellation . Unfortunately we cannot offer you a refund, and the standard cancellation policy will apply. We always recommend our guests have relevant travel insurance in place.
An exception to this non-returnable deposit is if our premises are forced to closed by Government (e.g. due to COVID 19), or guests cannot travel to the Island due to the borders being closed by Government. We will do our best to transfer your deposit to a new booking when available. The transferred booking prices will be based on the latest rates at the new booking time. We will only consider a refund if the borders are closed so you cannot travel to the Island, and we cannot agree another suitable booking date.
TT and MGP/Classic TT
TT is subject to a minimum of 7 nights stay and MGP/Classic TT has a minimum 4 night stay. We ask for 50% deposit at the time of booking, and the final 50% by January in the year of the event. Our standard cancellation policy applies.
