Terms and Conditions

Reservations

In order to confirm your reservation, we would require payment for your first full night stay as a deposit, we will then send you, usually by email, a confirmation of your booking. Please do read the confirmation carefully and contact us as soon as possible if there are any queries as we cannot change the room rate or terms of your stay once a booking has been confirmed.

Overnight stays on a Friday and Saturday are restricted to a minimum of 2 nights.

We may require a larger deposit for group bookings and for stays of over seven days.

Cancellation of a Booking

Any cancellation or amendment should be confirmed by email to info@driftwoodhotel.co.uk or to the booking partner with whom the reservation was made.

For all stays where a booking is cancelled more than 14 days before the day of arrival, the deposit of 1 night will be refunded in full. For bookings cancelled within 14 days of the arrival date, the reservation will be charged in full. We will, of course, provide a refund for any nights we manage to subsequently re-sell.

On the rare occasion we need to cancel or cut short a reservation due to circumstances outside our control, we will do our best to find alternative accommodation if required, however Driftwood will not be responsible for any additional charges.

We strongly advise you to make sure you have adequate travel insurance in place.
