Please note our cancellation policy before you confirm your reservation.
You must be at least 18 years old to make a Booking. All guests must be 18 years old or older.
Booking enquiries should be made by telephone or e-mail.
No Booking request will be binding on us unless and until we confirm to you in writing that we have accepted your Booking request and we have received payment in cleared funds of the amount of any Deposit specified at the time of your Booking.
If a Deposit is required it will be (a) the price of the first night for the room being booked (if booked more than 21 days before the date of arrival) or (b) the total room price for the night(s) being booked (or such other amount as we may agree) (if booked 21 days or less before the date of arrival) is required to secure a Booking. Payment of any Deposit can be by credit/debit card or bank transfer or through PayPal. We will send a confirmation once the money has cleared.
If you have any special requirements please let us know at the time of Booking. We will try to accommodate your requirements, but our ability to do so depends on what these are and on the availability of a suitable room.
2. Price
The price for each room per night is as advertised on our web site (www.theoldposthousebnb.co.uk) (or through on-line travel agent) at the relevant time, unless we notify you of a different price at the time of your Booking. Unless stated otherwise, all prices are inclusive of any VAT at the standard rate applicable at the date of your stay.
The price includes overnight occupancy of one bedroom by one or two adults and (where specified) the following morning’s breakfast. No allowance can be made for any meal not taken. No more than two adults may occupy a bedroom.
Breakfast is served at the times advertised on our web site, or as otherwise advised to you upon arrival. Other meals are not included in the price.
