Terms & Conditions

We very much look forward to welcoming you to the Cranmore Bed & Breakfast.  We will do our very best to ensure you have a wonderful stay with us.  The Cranmore Bed & Breakfast is situated in beautiful Torquay, at the heart of the English Riviera, in the county of Devon. The gentle climate, stunning views, delightful parks and gardens make Torquay a place where you can relax and be entertained.  Torquay is the perfect base to discover the rest of Devon from moor to sea and being based where we are you don’t need to use your car with having a train station and bus stops in walking distance to various places within Torbay and further.

These are our terms and conditions.  When you make your booking, you are entering into an agreement with us.

Bookings

Full details, name, address and contact number will be taken.  Valid credit or debit card details must be provided, at time of booking, in order to secure the reservation. We will use this card to take a refundable deposit equivalent to the room(s) one-night rate.

Full payment of the reservation will be debited from the credit or debit card provided 7 days prior to your arrival date.

We reserve the right to cancel a reservation if payment is not received by the due date.

Guest I.D.

Guests must show picture identification on arrival. For overseas guests we require sight of and details from a valid passport; Nationality, Passport number, Visa number (if applicable), Signature.

Cancellation by guest

We are a small business, so cancellations can have a big impact on us, especially if we have turned away potential guests in favour of someone who has already booked and who then cancels. We do, however, appreciate that unforeseen circumstances can intervene, and we try to be as sympathetic and helpful as possible in such cases.

In the event of a cancellation less than 7 days prior to the scheduled date of arrival no refund will be given and the full charge incurred. No refund will be offered for no-shows or early departures.  Changes or amendments to the reservation will be reviewed on an individual basis.  These may be termed as cancellations with no refund offered.

Non-availability of Accommodation

Should it become necessary for us to cancel a booking we will contact you immediately.  Any payments made will be refunded in full. Should you wish us to, we will attempt to book you into another local bed and breakfast of a similar quality, in a similar standard of room(s). If this was not possible or acceptable to you we would refund monies paid by you for the reservation. Our liability will not extend beyond these conditions.

Substantial changes requested by guest

A “substantial change” means a change of date, a change to duration of stay or a reduction in the number of rooms originally booked. Any substantial change to a booking must be requested verbally and then in writing. Notice of substantial change will only be effective on the day that it is received in writing. Any request for a substantial change will be reviewed on an individual basis and agreed where it is possible to do so.

For all substantial changes notified within 7 days of arrival, we are entitled to charge the full cost of the rooms affected. Where any change or cancellation affects the number of group members, we will recalculate the cost of the arrangements and re-invoice you accordingly.
