Terms and Conditions of Booking

All bookings made, are subject to our ‘conditions of booking’. This applies regardless of whether or not these ‘conditions of booking’ have been received prior to making the booking. When reserving a caravan holiday home, regardless of whether the booking is written, online or by telephone, we have an obligation to provide the accommodation as specified in our literature or a suitable replacement.

Prices

Prices are correct at the time of publication, however some errors may occur. In the event of a wrongly listed price, Mtd Caravan Hire reserve the right to cancel the booking and notify the hirer within 48 hours of the booking being made, giving the hirer a full refund.

A £50 deposit secures the date with the balance due 4 weeks before arrival.  If your date is less than 4 weeks away on booking then the full balance is payable on booking. The deposit payment is payable on booking and the date is available for another guest to book until this is received.

The deposit payment is not refundable on cancellation of your booking under any circumstances.

The balance payment must be paid in a timely manner as per payment conditions stated . It is the responsibility of the guest to ensure payment is made on time, and any booking not paid for on time will be cancelled unless contact is made to enter into a further payment arrangement.  Any arrangement beyond the booking terms is completely at the discretion of the individual owner of each caravan. Please note, the full balance payable includes any refundable security bond.

Refunds

No refunds will be made to guests who vacate the caravan for any reason including an emergency at home.

Any payments made will not be refunded on cancellations within 6 weeks of arrival until the date has been re-booked at the same rate.

Using certain electrical appliances or using too many at the same time may trip the electrical fuse box. This is because the electrical supply to a caravan is lower than it is in your home. The fuse box can usually be found in a wardrobe in one of the bedrooms and all switches should be in the 'up' position.  If they are all in the 'up' position and the electric still does not work, please call reception or out of hours teams so we can restore your electric services as soon as possible. Please be sensible when using lots of appliances at the same time, as charges are made to the owner for these call outs, and so if more than one call out is made during your stay without a fault being identified, you may be charged for any subsequent ones.

Bedding is supplied and beds will be made up in advance of your arrival.
