Until the booking is confirmed, it can be cancelled at any time without prior notice and is still available to be booked by other guests.. The balance of the rental charge, along with the breakage deposit, is payable not less than 6 weeks prior to the start of the holiday. Failure to pay the deposit or balance in full by the due dates will constitute a cancellation of the holiday by the holidaymaker. Please be sure to note the due dates of these payments as reminders are not routinely issued. Bookings made less than 6 weeks prior to the arrival date must be paid in full at the time of booking. Cancellation by the holidaymaker While we offer a fair and transparent cancellation policy, we strongly advise that you take out your own travel insurance, as you would if travelling abroad. This will cover you for issues arising outside of our cancellation policy. Cancellations due to the holidaymaker (or any member of the holidaymaker’s party) having to self-isolate due to COVID-19 or falling ill with COVID-19 or variants there of, are subject to the General Cancellations policy outlined herein and are no longer subject to special consideration. The owner strongly recommends that the holidaymaker takes out appropriate insurance before booking to cover for this. Cancellation of the booking by the holidaymaker should be made in writing and emailed to: admin@thebeachhutnorfolk.co.uk Cancellation will not be considered accepted until it is verified by an email response from us. If you do not receive a response, your cancellation request has not been received and you should contact us on 07827666360 to verify your intent. Cancellations made prior to 6 weeks before your holiday start date will be refunded in full. Cancellations made less than 6 weeks, but more than 2 weeks before the start date will be entitled to a partial refund based on the below chart. Cancellations made 2 weeks or less before your holiday start date will not be entitled to a refund. By taking out holiday insurance cover, a claim can be made towards the loss of these expenses and we will be happy to provide you with evidence for such purposes.
