Please note the cancellation policy before committing to a reservation. In order for us to confirm a reservation, credit/debit card details are required to secure your booking. We will collect 1 nights deposit at the time of booking, You can cancel your booking up to and including 14 days before arrival and you will receive a full refund. If you cancel after this time we will charge your card the full amount of the 1st nights booking. Cancellation by the Guest We are a small business, so cancellations can have a big impact on us, especially if we have turned away potential guests in favour of someone who has already booked and who then cancels. We do, however, appreciate that unforeseen circumstances can intervene, and we try to be as sympathetic and helpful as possible in such cases. In the event of a cancellation up to 14 days prior to the scheduled date of arrival no charge will be made and you will receive your 1 nights deposit paid back to the card you used to secure the booking. If you cancel your reservation within 14 days of the scheduled date of arrival a cancellation charge equivalent to the room(s) single night rate will be made.
Guests failing to arrive, without notification, will be responsible to a charge equivalent to the total reservation price. We take all Bookings in good faith, as we are unable to judge reasons for change, cancellation or non-arrival, guests are reminded that no exceptions to the above conditions will be made and that any booking made Brightham House Bed and Breakfast for either accommodation or goods, services, meals or drinks that are pre booked (verbal or written) forms a legally binding contract. For this reason we advise that you take out a suitable insurance product to cover against unexpected costs such as cancellation fees. In addition, we may take legal action, through the Courts, to recover any outstanding debts.
Cancellation by Us Should it become necessary for us to cancel a booking we will contact you immediately. Any payments made will be refunded in full. Should you wish to, we will attempt to book you into another local bed and breakfast of the same or lower Visit Britain grading in a similar standard of room(s). Should this establishment be more expensive than Brightham House, we will pay the difference for the first night of your stay. Our liability will not extend beyond these conditions.
Change of Room
If a booking is taken out for a specific room and the room reserved is required to meet a specific guest needs or rendered unusable via circumstances beyond our control, we reserve the right to transfer the booking to an alternative room of similar quality. Damage and Breakages Please take care of our home. You are responsible and liable for any breakages or damages which you cause to the accommodation or its contents. Please report these as soon as they occur especially if you accidentally spill something – it’s much easier to clean if we know what it is and act quickly.
