These booking terms are governed by English law and apply to all Bookings except where We agree in writing other terms. By making a booking you are deemed to accept these booking terms and conditions.

ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE

  • Check-in time is from 14:00 (2pm) 
  • Check-out time is 10:00 am unless we have agreed otherwise. This is so we can have the rooms serviced for new guests arriving.

CONDITIONS OF STAY

Butterchurn Guest House is designated entirely ‘non smoking’. If you choose to smoke outside the house, within the grounds or vicinity, you agree to dispose of smoking materials with consideration. No cigarette ends or used smoking materials are to be disposed of anywhere within the house, or within the grounds. Failure to comply with these ‘no-smoking’ conditions may incur a ‘deep cleaning’ charge.

We reserve the right to terminate Your Booking immediately, without being liable for any refund or compensation, if you engage in behaviour which, in our view, is unacceptable or which causes a disturbance or nuisance to other guests.

LIABILITY

  • You agree to take all reasonable care whilst staying in our property. You are responsible and liable for any breakages or damages caused by your act, omission, default or neglect. We ask that you report any incidents of damage, spillages etc as they occur (where this is practicable) or as soon as possible thereafter, so that we may take remedial action as quickly as possible.

  • We may choose not to charge for minor incidents, but we will charge You for any replacement, repair or extra cleaning which we deem necessary resulting from any reckless, careless or inconsiderate use of the property and its contents, or of the items (including linens and towels) provided for your use.

  • We may make an additional charge of £50 if you did not report an incident of damage in a timely manner. If our property is damaged by any reckless or deliberate means we will seek recompense for the full value of our property. (Please do not attempt to clean carpets by rubbing a spill into the carpet, after a spill, if practicable please inform us immediately as we can sometimes negate the damage with cleaning products).

  • You agree to indemnify us and to pay us the amount reasonably required to make good or remedy any damage or loss. We reserve the right to invoice you following departure, should We deem it necessary to incur cleaning or other charges to remedy any damage or loss you have caused or allowed. If you have given debit/credit card details in order to make payment, then You agree that We may debit that credit card with an amount as may be required to remedy such damage.

In the event of failure to comply with management requests, we may terminate the booking immediately regardless of time and without being liable for any refund or compensation. Any termination in the above circumstances will still require the cost of the booking to be paid.

In such an event we will refund any payments you have made to us, in full. Our liability would not extend beyond this refund.
