  1. TO MAKE A BOOKING. Please telephone us on 01946 726246 to check your chosen property is available on the dates you require. We can then hold this provisionally for 3 days (unless it is a last minute booking, then we sell on a first come first served basis) giving you time to send in your cheque. Unfortunately we are unable to accept payments via debit/credit cards at this time.
  2. CONFIRMING YOUR BOOKING. A deposit of £60 per bedroom per week is required to confirm your booking. If however you are booking within 8 weeks of your holiday, payment must be made in full when confirming your holiday. Please note your holiday is not confirmed until you have received written confirmation from The Cumbrian-Goat-Experience and we reserve the right to refuse any booking before we have issued the writtenholiday confirmation form. Your booking is made as a consumer and you accept that we cannot be liable for any business losses you may incur. You must be over 18 years of age at the time of making your booking. As soon as you receive the written confirmation form, you must check it carefully. Any errors must be reported to us immediately.
  3. BALANCE PAYMENT. The balance of your holiday is due at least 8 weeks prior to holiday commencement. Forwarding a cheque to Woodhow Farm can pay this. Non-payment of the final balance when it comes due will constitute cancellation of theholiday and forfeit of the deposit.
  4. HOLIDAY COST. The prices quoted are in £ sterling for 7 nights accommodation from the changeover day, i.e. Saturday. Included in the price is oil (central heating), electric and first basket of logs. Bed linen is also provided.
  5. ALTERATIONS. We endeavour to ensure the information contained on our website and/or fliers is correct. However the information may have changed by the time you book so you must ensure you check all details of your chosen property, including prices, when you book. We always try to maintain the very best facilities and services to our holidaymakers and changes may have occurred. The company cannot accept any responsibility for any inaccurate, incomplete or misleading information about any property, its facilities and or services except in the case of negligence by the company.

If this happens we will treat your holiday as cancelled by you and you will not be entitled to a refund of monies or compensation.
  8. PETS. Well-behaved pets are welcome with prior notice. There must be no evidence your pet has been at the property when you depart. There is a charge of £15 per pet per week/part week.

Holidays cancelled 8 – 12 weeks before commencement; deposits will be non-refundable.

In such cases the hirer shall remain liable for the cost of any damage or outstanding rental and shall not be entitled to a refund.
