Terms & Conditions

Please read these Terms & Conditions carefully. By using this website and the Castle House online booking service you are agreeing to be bound by the Terms and Conditions detailed below which form the basis of your contract with Castle House. In the Terms & Conditions set out below, "you" and "your" refers to all persons named on the booking, which includes any individual(s) subsequently added or substituted at a later date. "We", "us" and "our" all refer to Castle House Hotel. Please print and retain a copy of this Agreement for your records as it may occasionally be updated.

1. Making a booking

By making a booking you are confirming that you are authorised to do so on behalf of all persons named in the booking and you are acknowledging that all members of your party agree to be bound by these Booking Terms & Conditions. When your booking has been made a confirmation will be sent to you by email using the email address that you have supplied, or by post. Booking confirmations are subject to the availability of accommodation at the hotel. You should carefully check the details of your confirmation as soon as you receive it. You must contact Castle House immediately if any of the details are incorrect or incomplete. We will always endeavour to rectify any inaccuracies or accommodate any alterations you wish to make to your booking. We cannot accept liability for any inaccuracies that are not brought to our attention within seven days of issuing your confirmation, nor can we accept responsibility for inaccurate information that you have supplied. The term 'Free upgrade when available' for direct bookings refers to availability on the day of arrival and is at the discretion of the Management. Please note that our guest check out time is 11am.

2. Paying for your booking

All reservations must be guaranteed with a credit card. In some instances full pre-payment may be required at the time of booking. The amount of payment required at the time of booking will be advised to you when making your booking. In all cases full payment will be due on departure from the hotel unless prior written agreement has been received by Castle House. Unless stated as part of your booking, additional items such as (but not limited to) the cost of external telephone calls, meals, drinks and travel expenses, are not included in the price of your stay. If you incur any such additional costs you must settle the sum involved prior to your departure from the hotel.

3. Price changes

Castle House reserve the right to increase or decrease the price of unsold breaks and packages at any time. The price of your chosen break or package will be confirmed when your booking is made and, with the exception of any errors, we will not increase this price once it has been confirmed. We reserve the right to correct any errors in advertised and confirmed prices and will do so as soon as we become aware of an error. We will notify you of any price discrepancies relating to your booking should they arise, but we strongly advise you to check that the final price of your booking is correct before making your final confirmation.

4. Amendments to your booking

You should notify us of any amendments to your confirmed booking by telephone or in writing as soon as possible. Amendments are subject to availability and those made within the cancellation period (see below) may be subject to cancellation charges.

5. Cancellations

In order to avoid cancellation and/or non-arrival charges, guests should observe Castle House cancellation policy, which is up to 12 noon, 24 hours prior to arrival, 72 hours prior to arrival for 4 rooms or more, or longer for certain bookings e.g Christmas, New Year. This includes advance cancellation of any supplementary activities, treatments or tickets that may have been issued. Failure to cancel in advance will result in the first night's accommodation package being charged to your credit or debit card. If you have paid a deposit, made full payment or paid for any supplements - such as theatre tickets, beauty treatments and other leisure activities - the sum may be non-refundable. Please check with the hotel at time of cancellation. Written confirmation of advance reservation cancellation is required at all times by email. When providing written cancellation confirmation guests are required to provide their full names (the names in which the reservation has been made), date of arrival and postal address to include post code. The email address to which written confirmation of reservation cancellation is to be directed is: [email protected].

6. Cancellations and changes made by Castle House

In the unlikely event that a hotel is unable to accommodate a confirmed reservation it may be necessary to offer an alternative of an equal or a superior standard. If at any time we need to make changes that will significantly affect your stay or we need to cancel your stay, we will tell you as soon as possible, offering a suitable alternative or a refund. This does not apply to minor changes or events during your stay, resulting from unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control. We cannot be held responsible for cancelling your booking as a result of your failure to comply with any requirement of our Booking Terms & Conditions, and we cannot be held liable for any expenses, costs or losses incurred by you as a result of any change or cancellation. If a guest or a member of your party behaves in a way that causes or is likely to cause danger, upset or distress to a third party or to hotel or guest property, we are entitled, without prior notice, to curtail the stay and request that the person(s) concerned leave the hotel. No refunds or return travel arrangements will be made and we will not pay any expenses or costs incurred as a result of such a curtailment.

7. Additional Requests

All additional or special requests are subject to availability and we cannot guarantee the provision for special requests. Any additional requests made should be prior to your arrival at the hotel, giving reasonable advance notice.

8.  Damage to Castle House property

We reserve the right to charge guests the cost of rectifying damage caused due to a deliberate, negligent or reckless act by the guest to Castle House's property or structure. Should this damage come to light after the guest has departed, we reserve the right to make a charge to the guest’s credit/debit card, or send an invoice for the amount to rectify such damage to their registered address. However, depending on the damage, we will initially make every effort to rectify any damage caused internally before contracting specialists to make the repairs thereby trying to keep any costs that the guest would incur to a minimum.

9. Third party suppliers

Elements of your break may include services supplied by third parties (for example golf, clay pigeon shooting, mountain bike hire, etc). Such third party suppliers will usually have their own set of Terms and Conditions relating to the services they provide. You should consult any third party Terms and Conditions soon after making a booking if your break includes such items.

10. Medical condition

If you or any member of your party has a medical problem or disability which may affect your stay, please either call our Reservations Department or use the Enquiry Form on the hotel website to advise us so that we can make provision for the particular needs of the person(s) concerned, or advise you if we are unable to make such provision. If details are not provided to us at the time of booking, the hotel reserves the right to cancel the booking should it be unable to make appropriate provision for a specific need or needs. All visitors and guests to the hotel MUST observe the Government's most recent Covid-19 guidelines and laws.

10. Circumstances beyond our control

We cannot accept responsibility for unforeseen circumstances beyond our control. These include (but are not limited to) adverse weather conditions, fire, riot, war, terrorist activity (or threat of such activity), industrial dispute, natural disaster, pandemics, or injuries and death of an individual(s) through accidental circumstances unconnected with the hotel. By making a booking you are accepting responsibility for any damage or loss caused by yourself or a member of your party. Full payment for any such damage or loss must be paid to the hotel owner or manager on demand. If you fail to do so, you will be responsible for meeting any claims subsequently made (together with our own and the other party's full legal costs) as a result of your action.

11. Complaints

If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of your stay you should bring the problem or issue to the attention of the duty manager at the hotel as soon as possible so that all reasonable efforts can be made to rectify the situation. If, for any reason, the issue cannot be resolved to your satisfaction and you wish to make a complaint, you should put it in writing and send it to: The General Manager, Castle House, Castle Street, Hereford HR1 2NW.
