We appreciate that unexpected events occur, however, we cannot offer any refunds on bookings which are cancelled less than 30 days of arrival even if this is done because of ill health, covid, serious family matters, work commitments, travel problems or bad weather. Like with any holiday, we suggest that you should take out your own holiday insurance to cover any unexpected events that cause you to cancel your booking with us. However, we will try our very best to accommodate requests to transfer the amount paid to another set of dates within the same camping season, however, this may not always be possible and will depend on amount of notice given and availability at the time of the request. In the event of bad weather and the campsite remains open, we cannot offer a transfer or refund. Deposits or full amounts paid cannot be ‘rolled-over’ to another camping season.
