NON-AVAILABILITY OF ACCOMMODATION

We would only cancel your reservation if your accommodation were unavailable for reasons beyond our control. We would, however, attempt to source alternative accommodation. If this was not possible, or unacceptable to you, we will refund all monies paid by you for the reservation. Our liability would not extend beyond this refund.

Any rooms not occupied, or communications of lateness not made within 2 hours of arrival time may be considered as a no-show and The Willows have the right to re-let any such room.

We also reserve the right to charge for resetting fire/smoke alarms, should they be triggered and the guest will be held responsible for all and any charges imposed by the Fire Brigade for attendance to a false alarm caused by smoking in prohibited areas.

For smokers/vapers, there is a designated smoking/vaping area at the entrance gate of the property. Guests are respectfully asked to remain in this area when smoking/vaping.

Please fully extinguish cigarettes/cigars into the containers provided and discard used packaging, wrappers and cartridges in the separate waste bin.

DAMAGES & BREAKAGES

We kindly ask guests to immediately report any damage or breakages, as this will help ensure that repairs, replacement, or cleaning works are completed without delay and may help reduce the risk of further damage. Whilst we understand that accidents happen, we do reserve the right to charge for repairs, cleaning or replacement costs.

USE OF WI-FI

The provision of Wi-Fi excluding some restricted sites, is provided free of charge. However, we ask that consideration is given to the amount and time taken down/up-loading data and that all sites visited are of legal status only. We reserve the right to charge for excessive use.
