  • The hotel will not refund the payment in the event of a cancellation or non-arrival.
  • No changes can be made to the booking without the hotel levying cancellation charges of the full cost of the booking.

In respect of all arrangements requiring payment prior to the start of the arrangements in question, if we do not receive all payments due in full and on time, we are entitled to assume that you wish to cancel your booking. In this case, we will be entitled to keep all monies paid or due at that date and you must pay the cancellation charges shown above depending on the date we reasonably treat your booking as cancelled.

Payment for incidental extras (e.g. mini bars, telephone charges, etc.) must be made directly to the hotel before you check out.

In order to authenticate your bank account The County Hotel will make a request for a £1 transaction. This is only a request for a transition and will be seen in your account as a ‘Pending Transaction’. Please note that the money does not get transferred from your account as the request is never settled with your bank or Credit Card Company. The length of time this authorisation request will appear on your account will depend on the policy of your bank or Credit Card Company.

A binding contract between you and the hotel concerned comes into existence when we send your confirmation invoice to the party leader and the terms and conditions of the hotel, in addition to these conditions, will be applicable to the contract. English Law will apply to our agreement and to any dispute or claim which arises between us out of it. Any such dispute or claim must be dealt with by the Courts of England and Wales. Changes to these Booking Conditions or the General Information shown in our website will only be valid if agreed by us in writing.

Supplements for single rooms or single occupancy of a twin/double may apply. Superior rooms/suites are often available at a supplement. Please read our General Information section too. The prices of unsold arrangements may be increased or decreased at any time. The price of your chosen arrangements will be confirmed at the time of booking. We reserve the right to correct errors in both advertised and confirmed prices. We will do so as soon as we become aware of the error. Please note, changes and errors occasionally occur. You must check the price of your chosen arrangements at the time of booking. Once the actual price of your arrangements has been confirmed, no amendment will be made to it.

Should you wish to make any changes to your confirmed booking, you must notify us in writing or contact us on 01245 455700 as soon as possible. Whilst we will try to assist you we regret amendment requests cannot always be met. Where an amendment can be made, any costs incurred by ourselves and any costs or charges incurred or imposed by the hotel will be payable. See also, the specific terms detailed above.

Should you or any member of your party need to cancel your chosen break once it has been confirmed, the party leader must immediately advise our Reservations Team on reservations@countyhotelgroup.co.uk  or cancel online. Reservation cancellations will not be accepted via telephone or after the cancellation cut off point for your specified rate. Your notice of cancellation will only be effective when it is received by our Reservations Team, at which time you will be given a cancellation number relating to the date and time of your call / online cancellation. You must keep this for reference. The cancellation charges of the hotel concerned will apply.

If there is a change to or cancellation of your booking we will pass on the new details to you together with any compensation that the hotel may offer.

You are strongly recommended to take out personal travel insurance for all members of your party. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance cover you purchase is adequate for your particular needs. We do not check insurance policies.

Except where otherwise expressly stated in these booking conditions, we regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected by or you otherwise suffer any damage or loss as a result of “force majeure”. In these Booking Conditions, “force majeure” means any event which the hotel could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity or actual threatened terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, fire, pandemic, endemic, and all similar events outside our control.

In the event that you have any reason to complain or experience any problems with your break whilst away, you must immediately inform the hotel in question. Any verbal notification must be put in writing. If you remain dissatisfied, however, you must write to the hotel’s general manager within 28 days of the end of your stay giving your booking reference and full details of your complaint. If you have any complaints concerning any services we provide, you must inform us straight away in writing and in any event within 28 days of the end of your stay. For all complaints and claims which do not involve death, personal injury or illness, we regret we cannot accept liability if you fail to notify the complaint or claim entirely in accordance with this clause.

When you book with us, you accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you or any member of your party. Full payment for any such damage or loss must be paid direct at the time to the hotel or other supplier. If you fail to do so, you will be responsible for meeting any claims subsequently made against us (together with our own and the other party’s full legal costs) as a result of your actions. The Hotel reserve the right at any time to terminate your stay or that of any member of your party due to misconduct, where justified in their reasonable opinion. No refunds will be given. Furthermore, the hotel shall not be under any obligation whatsoever to pay compensation or meet any costs or expenses you may incur as a result of your stay being terminated.

If you have any special request, you must advise us at the time of booking. Although we will endeavour any reasonable requests, we regret the hotel concerned can not guarantee any request will be met unless we have written to you with specific confirmation that it will. Confirmation that a special request has been noted or the inclusion of the special request on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation is not confirmation that the request will be met. We regret we cannot accept any conditional bookings, i.e. any booking which is specified to be conditional on the fulfilment of a particular request. All such bookings will be treated as “standard” bookings subject to the above provisions on special requests.

If you or any member of your party has any medical problem or disability which may affect your booking, please tell us before you confirm your booking so that we can advise as to the suitability of the chosen arrangements. In any event, you must give full details in writing at the time of booking. If the hotel reasonably feels unable to properly accommodate the particular needs of the person concerned, we must reserve the right as the hotel to decline their reservation or, if full details are not given at the time of booking, the hotel has the right to cancel when we become aware of these details.

We do therefore strongly recommend you check with either our reservations team or the accessibility page directly on the hotel website before booking to ensure the hotel can meet all your requirements.

Alternatively, if you have difficulty walking but do not require a specially adapted room, you may request a room near to reception on the first floor near the lift for easier access. However, these rooms and adapted rooms may have limited availability, and cannot be guaranteed to be allocated on arrival. Again it is advisable to ensure that we are fully aware of all circumstances on making the booking to ensure that your chosen hotel has the availability to meet your requirements in full.

Guide dogs are welcome at all The County Hotel, but please make us aware of your requirements at the time of booking.

You are responsible for having all proper travel documents and vouchers. If you are unable to travel or complete a stay by reason of not having proper documents you will not be entitled to any refund and we will not be liable for any cost or expense that you may incur as a result.

Public facilities, e.g. bars and restaurants, may only open if there is sufficient demand, particularly in low season or due to government restrictions.

Please note that rooms sleeping three/four persons may offer any combination of single, double and foldaway beds.

A single room supplement may be payable, and this will be advised to you before booking. All rooms and public areas are Non-smoking.
