Our Terms and Conditions
Booking Conditions
1. Introduction
1.1. We are Trearddur Bay Breaks (“we”, “our”, “us”) of Corrie Knowe Penryhn Geiriol, Trearddur Bay, LL65 2YW.
1.2. By booking with us, you confirm that you agree to comply with and accept these booking conditions and the following information which we will provide to you: (i) the accommodation rental conditions (which means all information in any specific conditions or restrictions set out in the website description of your chosen accommodations); (ii) the Important Information section of the website or other publication we tell you about; and (iii) any other written information we brought to your attention prior to confirming your booking.
1.3. These Booking Conditions apply to bookings of accommodation only.
2. Your use of the booking
2.1. The accommodation that we advertise is offered for the sole purpose of holiday lettings and/or must never be occupied as your principal home, unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing by us. Accordingly, you agree and accept that you are not offered any rights to the accommodation other than the right to occupy the accommodation as holiday accommodation for the period of your booking. No booking of any kind is an ‘Assured Shorthold Tenancy’ or protected under the Protection from Eviction Act 1977, or any similar legislation that applies in Scotland.
2.2. Our booking services with you are available for your personal, non-commercial use only. You may not offer for resale any booking services without our express permission.
3. Website details
3.1. We aim to make sure that information provided about our accommodation and its facilities or services, is accurate and complete on the date given. Descriptions are intended to present a general idea of the accommodation and do not constitute any advice or recommendation by us.
3.2. Not all details of the relevant facilities can be included on our website. Furthermore, there may be small differences between the actual accommodation and its description. Occasionally, some facilities or services may not be available or may be restricted. If this happens, we will tell you as soon as reasonably practical after we become aware.
3.3. Where Wi-Fi is an advertised facility, its provision is subject to availability and network conditions. It may not be available 24 hours a day and is provided for pleasure, not for business purposes.
3.4. We cannot accept responsibility for any inaccurate, incomplete or misleading information about any accommodation or its facilities and services that we share with you in good faith, unless this was caused by our negligence. If we become aware that such information is not true, we will promptly correct it.
3.5. We cannot accept responsibility for any changes or closures to local services or attractions mentioned on our website.
4. Making your booking
4.1. As the person in charge of the party (“the party leader” or “you”), you must be at least 18 years old at the time of booking. By making the booking, you confirm that you are authorised to make the booking. It is your responsibility as the party leader to ensure that the other party members are aware of and agree to comply with these booking conditions and any restrictions or requirements stated on the accommodation advertisement.
4.2. You are responsible for making all payments to us.
4.3. You must ensure that all the information you provide us in connection with your booking is true, accurate, current and complete. If any of your details change, you must promptly update your details. 4.4. If you or any member of your party has any medical problem or disability that may affect your booking, please tell us before you confirm your booking and give us full details in writing as early as possible before you travel. If we are unable to make reasonable adjustments to meet that person’s particular needs, we can refuse or cancel the reservation.
4.5If you have any special requests, you must let us know when you make a booking. Although we will try to accommodate any such requests, we cannot guarantee that any request will be met. Confirmation that we have noted a special request or the fact it is shown on your written confirmation or any other document, is not confirmation that the request will be met. If we fail to meet any special request, it will not mean we or they have broken your contract.
4.6. If the accommodation is available and we have received all the relevant payments from you, we will give you written confirmation of your booking as soon as reasonably possible. This confirmation will show your booking details, the amount you have paid and the amount you still owe for the booking.
4.7. Your binding contract with us will begin when we issue you or your travel agent the written confirmation of your booking, and you have made the appropriate payments to us or your travel agent.
4.8. If you pay the deposit, it does not mean we have accepted a booking unless we have issued you with written confirmation. Please do not make any other travel arrangements (such as flights) until we have issued you with a written confirmation.
4.9. If you book with us online, we will acknowledge that we have received your booking and then later send you your confirmation by email. It is your responsibility to check your emails regularly and to let us know about any change to your email address.
4.10. We have the right to refuse any booking before we send you written confirmation. If we do this, we will tell you in writing and promptly refund any money you have paid to us. In this case we will not have any legal responsibility to you.
4.11. As soon as you receive your confirmation, you must check the details carefully. If anything is not correct, you should tell us immediately. We have no responsibility for any errors in any documentation , except where an error is made by us.
4.12. If you book through a travel agent, we will send your confirmation and any other documentation to your travel agent.
4.13. Even if we have sent a written confirmation, we have the right to cancel a booking where there are reasonable grounds to believe that (i) it is not legitimate; (ii) you are likely to breach these booking conditions or any restrictions or requirements stated on the accommodation advertisement; (iii) information supplied by you in relation to your booking is incorrect; or (iv) you have behaved in a vexatious, abusive or unlawful manner to our team. If we cancel your booking in these circumstances, we will tell you in writing and we will not have any legal or financial responsibility to you.
5. Payment
5.1. When you book, you must pay i) the deposit amount then due (see also clause 6 (Deposit)); ii) any applicable booking fee; iii) any insurance premium if this is something you have purchased. You must pay by debit or credit card, or bank transfer and we only accept payment in pounds sterling.
5.2. We must receive your balance payment 6 weeks prior to when your booking will commence.
5.3 We will automatically collect the balance owed on the card that you used to pay the deposit, unless you settle the amount owed before that date or unless you tell us otherwise. If you book after the due date listed above that applies to you, we must receive full payment of the total cost of your booking when making the booking.
5.4. If you do not pay any payment due in relation to your booking by the appropriate date , we are entitled to assume that you want to cancel your booking. In this case, your booking will be cancelled immediately and the provisions of clause 9 (Customer cancellations) will apply. You may also be required to pay additional charges.
5.5. There is no charge for debit or credit card payments. However, if your bank refuses to make your payment for any reason, we are entitled to make an administration charge of £35.
5.6. If you have booked an accommodation through a third party travel agent, please be aware that they may collect payment differently. Please check with the third party travel agent in advance of making a booking.
6. Deposit
6.1. For most bookings, we will ask you to pay a non-refundable deposit, to secure your booking.
6.2. The standard deposit is 20% of the accommodation rental price, but we may occasionally require you to pay more or less. You will be told what the deposit is prior to making the booking.
6.3. If you book an accommodation with a deposit which is lower than the standard deposit, you also agree to pay the difference between the amount paid and the standard deposit. You must make this additional payment either at the time the balance of your booking is due or, if you cancel before the balance due date, at the time you cancel the booking.
7. Pricing
7.1. We keep our prices under constant review and the prices of unsold accommodation may be increased or decreased at any time. We may also correct mistakes in the pricing of unsold accommodation at any time. We will confirm the price of your booking when you make it. As changes and mistakes can happen, you must check the price and all other details of your chosen accommodation at the time of booking.
7.2. All prices quoted or otherwise given to you include all charges and any taxes or government charges which may apply to your booking at the time it is made. Variations in the tax rate or government charges may result in variations of the sums due for your booking and you may be required to pay any additional taxes that arise after your booking has been confirmed.
7.3. We can pass on to you, in full, after we have confirmed your booking, all costs or charges which are connected with your booking, including any price increases due to changes in the exchange rates of currency.
7.4. All accommodation prices are for the accommodation as a whole and are not on a per person basis, except when an extra person charge applies.
8. Changing your booking
8.1. If you want to change any detail of your confirmed booking, you must notify us via e-mail or by calling us as soon as possible and we will do our best to arrange the changes.
8.2. Changes can only be accepted with our agreement. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to meet your request.
8.3. If we can facilitate your change, you will be asked to pay us an administration charge of £35 for each change in dates. You will also have to pay any costs incurred by us in facilitating this change for you, which, where relevant, will be charged at the current website price, which may be different from the price on the website from which you booked your chosen arrangements.
8.4. We may treat changes to your dates or accommodation as a cancellation of the original booking and if so, you will have to pay cancellation charges if you decide to go ahead with the change.
9. Customer cancellations
9.1. If you have to, or want to, cancel your booking after it has been confirmed, you must notify us as soon as possible. The day we receive your notice by phone or via e-mail to cancel is the date on which we will cancel your booking.
9.2. You will have to pay a cancellation charge based on the number of days before the arrival date at the accommodation that we receive notice, as shown in the tables below. This means that if you have already paid the full balance of your total booking cost and then have to, or want to, cancel, you may receive a refund of part of the cost. However, if you have not yet paid your total booking cost by the time of your cancellation, you may have to make a further payment to cover the cancellation charge.
9.3. For the purpose of the tables below, total accommodation cost means accommodation rental price plus any extra items charged by us such as charges for pets, welcome packs or cots but not including any insurance premiums, booking fees, handling fees or administration fees charged by us for making any changes.
9.4. The cancellation charges below have been calculated as a genuine pre-estimate of the losses incurred in the event you cancelled your booking within the stipulated time period. 1
9.5. If you have already paid insurance premiums, booking fees, credit-card charges, administration and handling fees, we will not refund these if you cancel.
9.6. If you have booked through a third party agent, the term ‘total accommodation cost’ in the tables below does not include any charges made by that agent or anyone else for booking fees, flights, other travel services or any other amounts not paid to us, and you may be liable to pay such charges in the event of cancellation in accordance with the cancellation policy of the third party agent or other supplier.
9.7. Cancellation costs: Your balance is due 6 weeks prior to the start date of your trip, if you cancel before this date, and do not amend the date of travel, then your deposit is non-fundable. If you cancel after this date the the full amount of your booking is due.
10. Part Cancellations
10.1. If any person(s) in your party needs to cancel, this will not affect the total cost of your booking.
10.2. No refunds are payable in the event that you cut short your stay.
11. Changes by us.
11.1. We do not expect to have to make any changes to your booking. However, sometimes bookings have to be changed or mistakes have to be corrected. We have the right to do so. If there is an error or mistake, including on pricing, then the contract between us will be void and you’ll be entitled to a refund. You won’t, however, be entitled to compensation, nor to have the holiday at the lower price.
11.2. If we do need to make changes, we will contact you by phone if reasonably possible in the case of a significant change or by email in the case of a minor change as soon as is reasonably practical. We will explain what has happened and let you know about the change. However, we will have no further liability to you.
12. Cancellations by us or the Owner
12.1. If we cancel your booking or are prevented from providing the accommodation you have booked, you may choose to: (i) request a voucher with a redemption value equal to the amount previously paid by you for the booking – the voucher terms and conditions will be available before you make your choice under this clause; or (ii) obtain a refund of the amount already paid by you for the booking. 12.2. We will contact you to inform you of these options.
13. Events Beyond Our Control
13.1. Except where otherwise expressly stated in these Booking Conditions we will not be liable or pay you compensation, if our contractual obligations to you are affected by “Events Beyond Our Control”.
