Frequently Asked Questions
Are your rates the best available online?
Our rates will always be (to the best of our knowledge) lower than those available on Booking.com or any Expedia-related company (e.g. Hotels.com, Orbitz, Travelocity, Trivago, etc.). If not, get in touch and we
will do our best to provide you with a better rate.
We also endeavour to have the best cancellation policy available to those who book directly.

Cancellations within 14 days of, or failure to arrive on, the confirmed arrival date will be liable for 100% of the booking.
