- Death or Disablement of you or any member of your party or a close relative
- Jury or Witness service (in a Court of Law)
- Redundancy
Please note that the Cancellation Protection Scheme does not cover holidays that have to be cancelled for any other reason (curtailment) or curtailed once you have arrived.
Should an unforeseen event occur and you wish to claim under the cancellation protection scheme, you must first contact our Central Reservations by phone and confirm this in writing, signed by the party leader. If you have to cancel your holiday for medical reasons we require written confirmation from a Medical Practitioner. The refund (if applicable) will be calculated as detailed below from the date we receive your cancellation letter. You will then be sent written details of the charges.
Up to 12 weeks before your holiday start date 100% of all amounts received in respect of your holiday (excluding the cancellation protection scheme premium)
4-12 weeks before your holiday start date, we shall refund the balance of hire if received and the deposit, provided the Company is able to re-let the holiday (excluding the cancellation protection scheme premium)
1-4 weeks before your holiday start date, we shall refund your balance of hire but not your deposit, nor the cancellation protection scheme premium.
7 days or less before your holiday start date we shall refund 50% of all monies paid (less cancellation scheme) due to the short notice. However the amount of refund may be increased if we are able to re-let.
If you do not subscribe to the cancellation protection scheme all monies paid will automatically be lost. The full balance of hire is due within 7 days to confirm your holiday if you do not subscribe to the cancellation protection scheme.

Each change to a holiday is chargeable. All changes must be made with Central Reservations.

- Wherever possible, routine maintenance is carried out at night. However, we sometimes have to close facilities to carry out unavoidable routine maintenance or for health and safety reasons during the day. We shall endeavour to keep such disruption to a minimum.
- From time to time we offer discounted holidays. Discounting is somewhat like the stocks and shares market...some buy in at lower prices and it is up to the strength of the market at the current time. The price you agreed to pay gave you a wider choice of accommodation, dates and locations on our parks than someone who took part in one of our last minute discount offers. There is no right to a discount if the same or similar holiday is discounted at a later date.
- We charge VAT at the current rate. If this changes in the course of the year we will re-invoice your holiday if applicable. If any new taxes or levies are introduced during the course of the year, we shall re-invoice your holiday accordingly.
