Terms and Conditions
- A valid credit or debit card is required to secure all bookings and will be held as a guarantee – this then constitutes a legally binding contract between you and Shola Coach House. During major events and Bank Holiday weekends we may require non-refundable deposits to secure bookings. Full payment will be required on check-out – we will accept payment in cash (£ sterling or € euro) or credit/debit cards (Visa & MasterCard only - we do not accept American Express).
- Cancellation policy – a small Bed & Breakfast such as ours is clearly affected by cancellations and we ask for your understanding and consideration of our policy. If you need to cancel a reservation please notify us by telephone and confirm in writing.
- Bookings cancelled with more than one week's notice prior to arrival will not incur a charge.
Bookings cancelled with one week's notice or less prior to arrival will be charged the total cost of the booking. Cancellation charges will be applied to the credit/debit card provided at time of booking.
Please note earlier than scheduled departures are treated as a cancellation and the policy above will apply.
- Check-in/Arrival – guests may check in on the day of arrival between 4pm and 7pm, or at other times by prior agreement only. With prior notice we will do our best to accommodate late arrivals, but please note that on the day of arrival, and out of courtesy to other guests, no one will be admitted after 11pm. A complimentary cup of afternoon tea/coffee and home-baked goodies will be served to guests who arrive between 4pm and 6pm.
