Cancellation Policy for Vale Farm B&B
Unfortunately I have experienced some "no shows" so have to enforce a cancellation policy as follows:
- In the event of cancellation, no charge will be made so long as notification is received by email or phone prior to 7 days before the first day of the stay.
- Less than 7 days but more than 2 days notice the first nights stay must be paid for in full.
- Less than 48hrs notice or if for any reason guests need to adjust their stay after arrival they will be liable for the full amount.
