Terms & conditions of booking
1. The holiday contract
Your agreement is between you and Woolacombe Bay Holiday Village Ltd trading as Woolacombe Bay Holiday Parks. References to 'the Company', 'we', 'us', and 'our' in these terms and conditions apply to Woolacombe Bay Holiday Parks. References to 'you' and 'your' in these terms and conditions are to you, as the person making the booking and, where applicable, to every member of your party.
There will be a contract between you and us:
- If you book by telephone when we accept your initial payment
- If we issue you written confirmation
- If you book online when your booking is confirmed
The person making the booking accepts the contract on behalf of all members of your party and is responsible for making sure they accept the contract. You remain the lead guest and contact point for the booking; you must attend the holiday booked. We will only discuss details of the booking with you, the lead guest. We cannot accept bookings from anyone under the age of 18.
If you wish to book a single sex party you must tell us of this and the ages of all members of your party before you book. There may be restrictions on bookings from all male or all female parties of over 4 people, and restrictions, in addition to the capacity of the Holiday Home or pitch, on the number who can occupy the Holiday Home or pitch. Please check before you book.
We have the right to refuse your booking or not to issue keys on arrival to any persons or groups at our discretion. We do not accept bookings or allow anyone to visit our Parks who is named on the Violent and Sex Offenders Register, by making a booking you are confirming that no one in your party is on this Register. We reserve the right to cancel any booking that we reasonably believe breaches our terms and conditions of booking..
Bookings made through certain third-party promotions and some other privately organised breaks may have separate terms and conditions which are in addition to these.
2. Terms of agreement
Please note that all points covered in the 'Holiday Safeguard Scheme' also form part of these Terms & Conditions of Booking.
3. Alterations to your booking
Once there is a contract you cannot transfer your booking to anyone else or change it (including the members of your party) without our agreement. Once a booking has been confirmed by us to you, should you require it to be amended for any reason, if there is availability and we accept the change there will be a minimum administration charge of £30 per alteration if you make your change by telephone, this fee is waived if you make the amendment yourself using the My Account portal on our website. Free amendments do not include cancellation. This charge also applies where you add more guests to a booking or change any names on the booking, these may require additional identification checks.
If you make any change, the booking will be repriced and will reflect the current prices and offers. If you alter your booking to a higher priced holiday then you will be responsible for paying the additional holiday cost, if you amend your dates to a lower priced holiday then the total holiday cost will be reduced providing you purchased our Holiday Safeguard Scheme cover at the time of booking. It should be noted that we cannot change dates from one calendar year to the next. Camping & Touring pitch holidays can be amended to upgrade to Holiday Home accommodation, but amendments cannot be made the other way around. We are unable to amend your holiday dates or Park location within 56 days of arrival, or 14 days of arrival if Holiday Safeguard Scheme cover has been purchased at the time of booking, or will otherwise be treated as a cancellation (see below).
If any alterations you wish to make are not possible and you do not wish to continue with your booking, or you do not accept any additional charges to amend your original booking and you do not wish to continue with the booking, this will be treated as a cancellation.
4. Cancellation by you
If you cancel your holiday you will always be responsible for the full cost of your holiday booking. However, if you have purchased our Holiday Safeguard Scheme at the time of booking you will be covered for these costs depending on when you cancel and the reason for cancellation. Holiday Safeguard Scheme charges and administration charges are non-refundable in any event. Full details of our Holiday Safeguard Scheme are available on our website.
If our Holiday Safeguard Scheme is not taken at the time of booking you will be liable for the full cost of the booking with NO refund given.
If you have purchased your own holiday cover then please liaise with your provider.
Should you need to cancel your booking for any reason please call us immediately and we will advise you of the procedure. Cancellation will not take effect until we receive signed written confirmation and relevant documentation as proof of cancellation for the stated reasons, sent by recorded delivery or using the ‘request cancellation’ function using the My Account portal on our website. If this is not received before the day of arrival no refunds will be given. All certificates, information and evidence provided by you shall be at your expense. Should you need to cut your holiday short after it has commenced, we regret that we are unable to refund any monies paid.
5. Cancellation by us
If a Holiday Home or Holiday Park is unavailable for whatever reason we will transfer your holiday at no extra cost to an alternative home or Park that is acceptable to you or alternatively, refund your total holiday cost paid, but you will have no additional claim against us. We reserve the right to move your booking to upgraded accommodation without prior notice and at our expense. Should a sole use event be booked subsequent to your reservation, in the interest of your holiday enjoyment, we reserve the right to cancel your booking and provide you with an alternative as outlined above. If your holiday is cancelled by us due to non-payment of the holiday balance by the date specified on your confirmation by yourselves then the above terms do not apply.
Holiday Safeguard Scheme
For peace of mind, we recommend you protect your holiday in the event that you have to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances. Our Holiday Safeguard Scheme provides you with a level of assurance against the possibility of having to pay the full cost of your holiday in the event of cancellation.
The cost of the Holiday Safeguard Scheme is:
£40 for 7 night holidays
£25 for holidays of up to 4 nights
£1.50 per night for Camping & Touring holidays
If you purchase this cover, your protection cost will stay the same unless you make a change online to your booked dates, duration, Park, or make any changes to your booking offline, or move from a Camping & Touring holiday, any of these changes will result in the prevailing rate for Holiday Safeguard Scheme being charged. Payment for Holiday Safeguard Scheme is taken at the time of booking and once purchased it cannot be removed from the booking and is non-refundable.
Our Holiday Safeguard Scheme must be added to your booking and paid with your initial deposit and cannot be added at a later date.
Qualifying reasons for cancellation:
If you are forced to cancel your holiday, the Holiday Safeguard Scheme will cover you for the following:
- Illness, death or injury of any person in your party listed at the time of booking, or
- Illness, death or injury of a close relative, or
- Redundancy of any person in your party listed at the time of booking, or
- Jury Service by any person in your party listed at the time of booking.
Provided the Holiday Safeguard Scheme has been paid at the time of booking and the circumstances affecting your ability to take the holiday arose after you made the booking you will not be liable for the remaining balance due on the holiday. You will be required to supply documentary evidence in the form of a Doctor's Certificate, Employer's or Court Notification showing the date they occurred.
If you cancel for a qualifying reason:
If we receive written notice of cancellation due to one of the qualifying reasons up to 56 calendar days prior to the holiday start date then we will refund all money paid (less the Holiday Safeguard Scheme charge).
If we receive written notice of cancellation due to one of the qualifying reasons 3-55 calendar days prior to your holiday start date then we will refund all money paid (less the Holiday Safeguard Scheme charge and the standard deposit).
If we receive written notice of cancellation due to one of the qualifying reasons 1-2 calendar days prior to the holiday start date the refund will be limited to 30% of the total holiday cost (less the Holiday Safeguard Scheme charge).
The Holiday Safeguard Scheme cover is only valid if the circumstances arise before you leave home for your holiday. If you need to cancel your holiday on the holiday start date or cut short your holiday after it has commenced, we are unable to refund any monies paid.
Payments made with vouchers or credit notes will not be refunded or transferred to another booking nor will payment for any administration fees already incurred.
If you cancel without a qualifying reason:
For bookings cancelled more than 56 days prior to your holiday start date you will forfeit your deposit but we will refund all other money paid (less the Holiday Safeguard Scheme charge).
For bookings cancelled less than 56 days prior to your holiday start date you will forfeit your full holiday cost.
If you cancel without Holiday Safeguard Scheme:
Should you choose not to take our Holiday Safeguard Scheme at the time of booking you will be liable for the full value of the holiday if cancelled by you, regardless of the reason for cancellation, or if full payment is not received 56 days prior to arrival. If you do not take out our Holiday Safeguard Scheme NO refund will be given on any monies paid.
How to cancel:
You must let us know immediately by using the ‘request cancellation’ function in the My Account portal on our website or by calling us on 01271 872 390 should you need to cancel your holiday, however if you cancel by phone your cancellation will only take effect once we receive written confirmation signed by the lead guest. Provided we receive this within 48 hours of your telephone call we will treat the date of the phone call as the date of cancellation.
When cancelling your booking in the My Account portal on our website you should upload your documentary evidence to your cancellation request. If you cancel by phone as soon as possible after cancelling your booking please send us documentary evidence to support your claim and within no more than 7 days of cancellation. If you are cancelling for medical reasons we will need to see medical certificates or written confirmation from your doctor. If you are cancelling for another reason covered by the Holiday Safeguard Scheme we will require sufficient evidence to substantiate your claim to our reasonable satisfaction. To ensure delivery we recommend all mailed cancellation letters are sent by recorded delivery. We will not make any refund until this evidence has been provided.
In the case of multiple or party bookings, such as where more than one Holiday Home or pitch is booked at the same time, cover is assessed on each Holiday Home or pitch individually.
Cancellation charges are calculated from the date we receive your written instructions. Once we have confirmed a refund is due and the amount due, and deducted any administration charges already incurred, we will process the return of any monies to the same method (and in the case of debit or credit cards to the same payment card only) which may take up to 28 days.
Insurance:
The Holiday Safeguard Scheme is not a policy of insurance, nor does it replicate all the features of a typical holiday insurance policy. If you require insurance cover then you should contact an insurance broker authorised by the Financial Services Authority.
6. Holiday prices
The prices on the individual Park listings and offers are 'from' prices and are the lowest prices available in the applicable date range. All prices quoted include VAT and insurance premium tax at the prevailing rate and are subject to change if these tax rates change before you make final payment. If any new taxes or levies are introduced during the year we will re-invoice you accordingly. In the event of exceptional circumstances, we reserve the right to vary holiday specifications and prices without notice. All prices and charges are subject to change and may go up or down in response to changing market pressures. Any quotations obtained before confirming a booking are subject to change.
Your holiday cost includes the use of all the main Park venues, facilities, activities and entertainment with very few exceptions. Certain facilities and activities are subject to an additional cost or refundable booking deposit, and some facilities/entertainment may be restricted off-peak which is why these holidays cost less.
During the Summer Holidays, we reserve the right to restrict bookings in certain Holiday Homes to 7 and 14 nights only.
7. Special offers
All offers are subject to availability at the time of booking, and to specific offer terms and conditions, and may be withdrawn at any time. These offers only apply to the promotional period stated, and cannot normally be combined with any other offer. Discounts apply to the accommodation or pitch element only and exclude any additional services and extras. Please ensure you claim any special offers when you make your booking as we cannot apply offers retrospectively if you do not claim them before your booking is confirmed. Once your holiday has been confirmed, any subsequent special offers that are made available cannot be redeemed against an existing booking and we are unable to refund the difference between your confirmed holiday price and any special offer prices.
8. Paying for your holiday
On receipt of your payment we will send you a confirmation and this will clearly show the date that any remaining balance is due by. Payment is acceptable by debit card, credit card, cheque or postal orders.
For self-catering accommodation a non-refundable deposit of £40 per Holiday Home per week or short break plus any applicable Holiday Safeguard Scheme fee is payable when you book your holiday. For Camping & Touring Holidays a non-refundable deposit of £5 per pitch per night plus any applicable Holiday Safeguard Scheme fee is payable when you book your holiday (a minimum of 2 nights may be required on peak dates). The full balance of your holiday is due 56 days prior to the arrival date (84 days if the accommodation has a hot tub), or by the date specified on your confirmation for some special offer bookings. On bookings made fewer days in advance, full payment must be made at time of booking.
The easiest and most secure way to pay for your holiday and any pre-bookable activities with an additional charge is by debit or credit card on the website. We accept Mastercard and Visa. We do not accept American Express, Delta, Diners Club, Maestro, Visa Electron or Solo. When making a payment we will require: (i) the long card number; (ii) the last 3 digits of your security code; (iii) the expiry date; (iv) the cardholder's name and address; and (v) for web payments, additional verification.
Please make cheques payable to Woolacombe Bay Holiday Village Ltd. We regret that we are unable to accept cheques if received 4 weeks or less prior to holiday arrival date. We cannot accept cash payments for any holiday bookings.
Returned cheques or unpaid credit/debit card charges will be charged a £30 administration fee and we reserve the right to pass on any costs or bank charges we incur. Post-dated cheques will not be accepted and any bank charges incurred for these cheques are solely your responsibility.
We reserve the right to cancel your holiday and retain all monies paid if we have not received full settlement by the balance due date and resell this holiday to another customer. It is your sole responsibility to pay any remaining balance when it is due and please note we do not send another reminder after your initial holiday confirmation has been sent to you.
9. Number in your party
The total number in your party (including children and babies) must not exceed the maximum capacity of the accommodation as stated. In the event that these numbers are exceeded, we reserve the right to exclude or refuse entry to any or all members of your party from our Parks. Only the persons listed on your booking are entitled to stay in your booked accommodation so if anyone not on your booking confirmation is found in occupation, the booking contract will be considered breached and all party members on your booking, as well as the unauthorised persons, will be asked to leave the Park immediately and without refund.
Group bookings of 6 units or more accepted by advance arrangement and at the Park Manager's discretion only and may require an additional security deposit payable on arrival that will be returned after your holiday provided that your accommodation is undamaged, clean and tidy.
As our Parks are holiday parks we do not accept bookings if you want to stay for work or use the Park as a base to travel to work or for residential use. We may refuse holiday bookings for single occupancy.
On Camping & Touring pitches a maximum of one car is permitted per pitch only with one tourer, motorhome or tent with the exception of pre-booked pup tents on selected pitches. Our largest pitches will allow a 6-8 berth tent; we will not be responsible for any tent not fitting on a pitch if it is over a 6-berth tent.
10. Cots, bed guards and high chairs
These can be hired in all accommodation for a moderate extra charge and pre-booking is recommended as they are subject to availability. A maximum of 2 cots can be accommodated in caravan Holiday Homes and may need to be located in the lounge area; if the convertible bed in the lounge area is being used only 1 cot can be accommodated. You need to bring your own cot linen and may wish to bring a thicker mattress.
11. Special requests
We will endeavour to meet any special requests when we are advised at the time of booking and you confirm your request in writing if you did not make your booking online; please include a telephone number in case of any query. However, we are unable to guarantee any special requests (ie, for adjacent accommodation or a specific location on Park) and these do not form part of the holiday contract and are not a condition of booking. If you are planning a celebration on the Parks or if you are planning to wear fancy dress, you must make us aware before booking and to gain approval from the Park General Manager to ensure this fits in with the needs of all our guests and the Park environment.
12. Guests with special needs
Some Parks and accommodation may have steep gradients, steps or stairs and may not be suitable for prams, wheelchair users or visitors with mobility difficulties. Please let us know at the time of booking if you have any specific requirements and we will try our best to comply with any special requests. If you do not make us fully aware of any requirements before you book we cannot be responsible if the Park or accommodation are unsuitable.
13. Pets
Responsible dog owners are welcome to bring well-behaved dogs in designated accommodation at Woolacombe Bay and Twitchen House and on Camping & Touring pitches at Twitchen House and Easewell Farm. There is a charge to bring each pet, subject to pet friendly accommodation being available. There is a maximum of three pets per booking. Unfortunately, no refund can be given if pets are not in attendance. However, registered guide and hearing dogs belonging to those with visual and hearing impairments are allowed at all Parks free of charge even where the property description states that pets are not allowed. Customers with allergies should be aware that we cannot guarantee that a registered guide dog and/or hearing dog has not stayed in the accommodation nor can we accept any liability for any suffering which may occur as a result of such animals being present. We reserve the right to refuse certain breeds including all dogs listed in the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991. Other pets may be accepted at the discretion of the Park General Manager; please contact us before making your booking to discuss availability and charges. Dogs must be kept on a lead under the control of a responsible adult at all times and wear a collar with an identity tag. You must clean up after your pet. Pets are not permitted in Park facilities including indoor and outdoor swimming pools, entertainment venues, amusement arcades, convenience stores or other retail outlets such as pottery studios, spa and nature activities. Pets are accepted in clearly specified areas only inside bars and restaurants as well as on outdoor dining terraces. Pets should not be left unattended in accommodation or elsewhere on the Park and must not be allowed on bedding and seating. If we think your pet is causing a nuisance or damage on the Holiday Park you will be required to remove it from the Park. Dogs are allowed on the beach in Woolacombe all year but may be restricted to certain areas during the main Summer season.
14. Arrival and departure times
Self-catering accommodation is available from 4pm (or from 2pm for Platinum, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond caravans, all lodges and all apartments, and from 3pm for Gold caravans) on the stated day of arrival and must be vacated by 10am on the day of departure. Please leave your accommodation clean and tidy, returning the keys to reception. We reserve the right to remove any items remaining in your accommodation after this time.
Camping & Touring pitches are available from 12 noon on the stated day of arrival and must be vacated by 10am on the day of departure.
In order to maintain the highest levels of hygiene, any hot tubs are refilled on the day of arrival and may not be fully warm for comfortable use until the evening of your arrival. Hot tubs will be emptied from 8am on your day of departure and so you should not use them after this time.
Please plan to arrive on Park on or after your stated check-in time and be aware that, although we do not run as many activities on check-in days, most of our facilities are open.
If you discover you think you have left something behind then please contact your Park as soon as possible. We will try our best to return this to you but will not be liable if this is not possible or it damaged. You will have to cover any postage costs.
Reservations will not be held after 12 midnight on the day of arrival unless prior arrangements have been made with us. If you have not contacted us to advise us of your late arrival we will assume the holiday is cancelled and the total holiday cost will be retained by us.
15. Behaviour and vehicles on Park
Our Parks are intended for families and couples and behaviour of all party members should be appropriate and respectful of other guests and members of staff. If we feel your behaviour is illegal, offensive, disruptive or inappropriate you will be asked to leave immediately and no refund of monies paid will be made. You will be responsible for any damage or breakages occurring in your accommodation during the period of your occupation.
You should comply with speed limits, parking and other traffic regulations whilst on Park; all vehicle registration numbers must be provided to us when you check-in at your Park. Portable generators are not permitted. Designated electric car charging points are provided on all Parks but for safety reasons you are not permitted to charge your car using your accommodation or pitch electricity.
We are only permitted to sell alcohol to persons aged 18 or over and proof of age may be asked for in the form of a passport or a new style driving licence which includes a photograph.
Safety is always our highest priority so the use of electric scooters, hoverboards, balance boards and Segways are only permitted on Park when part of an organised activity. Drones are not permitted to be flown on or over our Parks.
In accommodation with decks and/or hot tubs, these are used at your own risk and adult supervision is required at all times. Specific rules for the use of hot tubs apply which will be provided on arrival (or in advance on request) and a disclaimer must be signed by the lead guest. Please be aware that hot tubs are not suitable for children, dogs or guests with certain medical conditions. If you fail to adhere to the requirements of using a hot tub, we reserve the right to withdraw access to the hot tub and/or charge you for any costs we incur as a result of the breach for example, we may charge you if we are required to drain and refill the hot tub during your stay, or if we are required to repair any damage caused by misuse.
16. Smoking
It is illegal to smoke inside enclosed public buildings. Outside smoking areas are provided. Smoking is also not permitted in our accommodation, however we cannot guarantee that any accommodation has always been smoke free. Also e-cigarettes and vapourisers are not permitted in enclosed public areas or accommodation either. In the event that we find that you have been smoking in our accommodation, we reserve the right to charge you a cleaning fee of £75.
17. Parental responsibility
Children remain the responsibility of their parents or guardians at all times but they should always obey the instructions of the ParkStars, Sports Instructors, EXplorers Rangers and Lifeguards to ensure proper control and safety. We reserve the right to deny access to our facilities/activities to any child we reasonably believe will be unduly disruptive. Parents or guardians are required to remain on Park during kids’ entertainment and EXplorers sessions as these are not child minding services.
18. Bed linen and towels
We provide all linen other than cot linen in all self-catering accommodation. You will need to bring your own tea towels, toilet roll and washing up utensils. Bath towels are provided in all accommodation except Bronze, Silver and Gold caravans so please bring your own bath towels or hire in advance. We do not provide or hire pool or beach towels so please ensure you bring these.
19. Availability of facilities and activities
Whilst every effort is made to ensure all advertised facilities are available during your stay it may sometimes be necessary to limit or close a facility for improvement or additions to the Parks for the future enjoyment of our guests, for health and safety reasons, or essential maintenance or other reasons beyond our control including weather. Should we need to close or withdraw certain facilities or activities we will not be liable to you. Opening times and level of entertainment may be limited outside of peak times which is reflected in the holiday price. Artists and acts featured in our website are representative of those planned to appear and all efforts are made to ensure that these acts or those of a similar calibre appear. Our entertainment venues are subject to maximum capacities set by the local Fire Officer, and as such entrance to venues is not guaranteed. As our venues are popular seating cannot be guaranteed or reserved. For health and safety reasons some facilities and activities may have height and/or age restrictions.
Our swimming pool policy is posted at each pool in our Parks. By entering the pool area, you agree to follow the policy and to comply with the lifeguard's decisions and instructions regarding pool safety. Parents or guardians are always responsible for supervising their children, including in the pool and changing areas. Children under 8 years old and all non-swimmers must be accompanied by a competent adult in the same pool; one adult can supervise up to two children under 8 and must ensure that non-swimmers and beginners stay within a safe depth. Children 9-17 years who are competent swimmers must be accompanied by an adult to the pool although they can remain on poolside and do not need to be in the water, one adult can supervise up to four children under 18 years old. Unless otherwise noted, guests under 16 are not allowed in the sauna or steam rooms. To ensure fair and safe access, there is a limit on the number of guests in the pool at one time, and you may need to book a time slot in advance using our online booking system to manage session times. Outdoor pools will be open end May to mid-September (weather permitting). You will need to bring your own pool towels as we do not provide or hire them.
20. Use of facilities and activities
Facilities and activities shown as ‘free’ means they are included in the price of the holiday. To use the facilities, activities and entertainment included in your holiday price you must wear a Woolacombe Bay Holiday Parks wristband. These are issued to guests at check-in. It is your responsibility to ensure that you look after and wear your wristband at all times whilst on Park. These wristbands are issued at reception at the Park where you are staying according to each guest named on the booking and are only valid when worn. There is a charge for replacing lost wristbands although damaged wristbands can be exchanged at reception for a replacement. Wristbands from your issuing Park are valid at Woolacombe Bay, Twitchen House and Easewell Farm during your stay. We do not offer day passes for visitors.
Not all facilities and activities will be suitable for every guest, so please ensure you check any restrictions on each activity listing before you book. Should you book and not be able to take party in an activity due to any restrictions like height, age or appropriate clothing then you may not be able to take part and won’t get a refund if it is a chargeable activity.
Prices for activities with an additional charge may be amended at any time before you book them, once you have booked we will not change your activity price.
Pre-bookable activities are subject to availability, cannot be transferred to another holiday booking and can be paid for by debit card or credit card. You can cancel and change activity bookings prior to the time stated for that activity, after which they cannot be refunded or amended. Any refunds for cancelled activities will be returned to the same payment method and may take up to 28 days. Missed sessions cannot be refunded or transferred.
You will need to arrive before your session time according to the time stated on that activity with appropriate clothing where necessary, if you are late for your own safety you will not be able to take your session, and we're sorry that if you miss your session we are unable to transfer you to another one or offer a refund. For full activities terms and conditions please go to woolacombe.com/activities
Our activities are very popular and fill up quickly, so you will need to book activities either starting from two weeks before your holiday or as soon as possible after you arrive. To avoid disappointment, we would recommend pre-booking your activities before arrival where possible.
21. Your holiday environment
Our Parks are situated in country locations and we work hard to preserve their rural character. You may encounter areas of uneven ground, unmade up tracks and paths and limited lighting. You may not be used to walking over grassy, undulating ground or wooded areas and you should take care that you avoid naturally occurring hazards such as slippery mud, low hanging branches or rabbit holes. Some Parks also have lakes, ponds, streams and other areas of open water. After you have checked in we advise you to familiarise yourself with the area around your accommodation and supervise your children appropriately.
22. Limitation of liability
We will not be liable to any person staying at Woolacombe Bay, Twitchen House or Easewell Farm, or to any person visiting the Parks, for any personal injury, fatal or non-fatal unless caused by a negligent act or omission by the Company or its Employees. Nor shall the Company be liable for any injury, loss or damage to any property including motor vehicles, personal effects or luggage however caused or sustained except where it is caused by our negligence or fault. If you leave any property in your accommodation after departure, we will aim to return this to you upon payment of postage and packaging but we cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage.
23. Our service to you
In the unlikely event of there being a problem or dissatisfaction with any matters under our control during your holiday please report them to the Reception Team at the Park immediately so that we may have the opportunity where possible to rectify issues. We will not be responsible for any issue which you knew about during your stay but did not report to us during your stay. If you feel the reported matter is not resolved to your satisfaction during your stay, please write to the General Manager at your Holiday Park within 7 days of returning from your holiday. Any correspondence must be in writing, from the lead guest on the booking and must be signed by the lead guest due to the General Data Protection Regulation. We cannot accept liability in relation to any claim of whatever nature if you fail to notify us in writing within 7 days from the end of your holiday. We will respond to your concerns within 28 days of receipt.
24. Errors
Whilst every effort is made to avoid changes or errors, we're only human. Please check and/or query the details and price of your chosen holiday at the time of booking or immediately on receipt of your confirmation. If we discover an error in the pricing of your holiday after you have booked, we will tell you and ask whether you wish to continue with the booking or cancel it free of cancellation fees.
25. Marketing accuracy
Every care is taken to ensure that all marketing information is accurate at the time of going to press. Photographs are intended for guidance only. Layout plans and artists impressions are for illustrative purposes only. Due to operational circumstances, activities sometimes may be withdrawn.
26. Photography & filming
We regularly take photographs and videos for promotional and training purposes and we occasionally receive requests from TV or other companies to film/photograph on the Parks. Please be aware that filming may be in progress during your break. Should you not wish to appear in any such material please notify us on or before your arrival at the Parks. We do not accept responsibility if, contrary to your wishes, you appear in film or photographs and will not make any financial reward or payment of any kind. In order to protect the privacy of other guests, photography in swimming pool areas and at other selected activities is prohibited.
