Terms & Conditions

Reservations

Swan Hill House confirms all bookings by email (or letter). Bookings on the day of arrival may not receive a confirmation, only verbally. All cancellations should be in writing.

Deposits

Your deposit secures your booking and is non refundable (under any circumstances). It can be used against a future booking (within a set time period) if you wish to move dates. For bookings of only a one night stay a 50% deposit of the total cost is required. For stays of 2 nights or more a deposit representing the cost of one night is required.

Cancellation

Unfortunately guests sometimes need to cancel their booking for various reasons however the guest house should not have to suffer the loss. When you make your booking and we have taken your debit / credit card number to secure the booking , a legally binding contract exists between us that is non-cancellable and non refundable, except in exceptional circumstances. You may still remain liable to pay in full or part for the booking, even if you are unable to take your holiday. Even where you have not paid in full at the time of cancellation, you will remain liable for the full cost. If for some reason you do need to cancel, it is important that you tell us at the first opportunity so that we may attempt to re-let your room and minimise your loss. If we do re-let your room you are no longer liable for the cost. Bookings cancelled seven days or less prior to arrival will be charged the full cost of the booking. Bookings cancelled between 8 to 14 days will be charged 50% of the total cost of the booking. Cancellation insurance is relatively inexpensive and we would recommend you take this out prior to your visit to protect yourself against any possible loss.  

Method of Payment

We accept cash, credit and debit cards except American Express and Diners Club
