What to expect if plans change

We understand that plans can change. This policy explains how cancellations and refunds are handled for bookings at Ghyllwood Farm.

Effective Date: 10 July 2026. By confirming a booking and making payment, guests acknowledge that they have read, understood, and accepted this Cancellation & Refund Policy.

1. Cancellation Requests

All cancellation requests must be made in writing.

Guests may send cancellation requests through the contact details provided on the Ghyllwood Farm website or through the booking platform used to make the reservation.

2. Direct Bookings

For bookings made directly with Ghyllwood Farm, the following cancellation terms apply. Refunds are calculated against the total amount already paid.

  • Cancellations made more than 30 days before arrival: Full refund of payments received.
  • Cancellations made 15 to 30 days before arrival: 50% refund of payments received.

3. Refunds

Refund arrangements will be communicated directly with the guest and processed using the appropriate agreed payment method.

Please allow a reasonable processing time for refunds to reflect.

Bank charges, payment processing fees, or platform fees may be deducted where applicable.

4. Third-Party Bookings

Bookings made through third-party platforms, such as Booking.com or similar platforms, may be subject to that platform’s own cancellation and refund terms.

In these cases, refunds must usually be processed through the same platform used to make the booking.

Requests to change booking dates must be made in writing.

Date changes are subject to availability and are not guaranteed.

If the new dates are more expensive, the guest will be responsible for the difference.

No refund will be given if a guest chooses to leave before the confirmed departure date.

7. Exceptional Circumstances

Ghyllwood Farm may consider refunds or date changes in exceptional circumstances, at our discretion.

8. Effect on the Booking Calendar

When a confirmed booking is cancelled, the affected dates are released on our central booking calendar and become available to other guests. Cancelled booking records are kept privately for our records but do not remain publicly blocked.

9. Changes to This Policy

Ghyllwood Farm may update this Cancellation & Refund Policy from time to time. The version published on the website at the time of booking will apply.
