The letting period shall commence at 3pm the day of arrival and shall terminate at 10.30am on the day of departure unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Manager. Failure to check out by 10.30am without prior authorisation may result in you being charged a fee of £100. The Premises are let for holiday and leisure purposes only and must not be used as a principal residence or for any commercial, business, or professional activity.
The guest shall not sub-let, assign, or permit occupation of the Premises by any person other than those named in the booking confirmation. No trade, business, or other non-residential use shall be carried out on or from the Premises, and no goods, services, or products shall be sold or provided from the Premises during the Letting Period. This agreement grants a temporary licence to occupy the property for the duration of your booking and does not create a tenancy or other legal interest in the property. Your statutory rights as a consumer remain unaffected. - Booking Procedure
You can book one of our Shepherd’s Huts or a campsite pitch by:
● Calling the Beaucette Marina Office
● Emailing us at stay@beaucettemarina.com
● Booking online via https://beaucettemarina.com/
When booking, please provide your contact details, preferred dates, number of guests, and any special requirements. - Acceptance of an application.
All bookings are subject to acceptance by Beaucette Marina Management.
Submitting a booking request (by phone, email, or online form) does not guarantee a reservation.
Bookings are accepted subject to availability, and Beaucette Marina reserves the right to decline or cancel a booking at its discretion. Once accepted, guests will receive a Provisional Booking Confirmation with payment details.
When the booking request is accepted, guests will receive booking confirmation. The deposit will be retained by us and treated as a payment towards full amount payable in respect of the letting. In the event that we decline a booking request, the full amount of the deposit will be refunded to you. - Payment
A non-refundable deposit of 30% of your total stay is required to confirm your booking. The remaining balance is payable on arrival. Payments can be made by card or bank transfer. Once we receive your deposit, you’ll receive a Booking Confirmation Email — this means your stay is confirmed! - Failure to pay
If the deposit is not received within 48 hours of making your reservation, the provisional booking will be automatically cancelled.
If the final balance payment (where applicable) is not received by the due date, Beaucette Marina reserves the right to cancel the booking and retain the deposit. No accommodation will be provided until full payment has been received. - Cancellation & Changes
ALL APPLICANTS ARE ADVISED TO TAKE OUT PERSONAL HOLIDAY CANCELLATION INSURANCE.
Once a booking is confirmed, the deposit is non-refundable.
If you need to change your dates, please contact us as soon as possible. We’ll do our best to move your booking, subject to availability and any rates changes.
Where notice given is less than 72 hours before commencement, cancellations or no-shows will result in loss of the deposit, and the full balance will still apply. - Price Changes
Prices and Booking
All prices are quoted in pounds sterling (£) and include any applicable taxes unless otherwise stated. The price confirmed at the time of booking is the price you will pay for that booking. Once a booking is confirmed and payment received, the price will not change, except as set out in these terms.
Prices may vary for future bookings, seasons, or promotional periods, but such changes will not affect confirmed reservations.
Price Reviews and Adjustments
We reserve the right to review and amend our prices for future bookings at any time.
Any change will apply only to new bookings made after the change takes effect.
We will not alter the agreed price for an existing confirmed booking unless:
● (a) you request a change to your booking (e.g. dates, duration, number of guests, or optional extras); or
● (b) a change in taxes, government levies, or regulatory fees directly affects the cost of providing your accommodation.
In such cases, we will notify you in writing of any resulting price adjustment before final confirmation.
Optional Extras and Services
Optional services (e.g. logs, early check in, equipment purchase) are charged separately and may be subject to price changes.
We will always provide an updated quote for any optional extras before you agree to them.
Notice of Price Changes
Any changes to pricing or service charges for future bookings will be published on our website or otherwise communicated in writing. If a price change affects an unconfirmed booking (e.g. where a deposit has not yet been received), we will give at least 14 days’ notice of the new rate to either accept or cancel free of charge.
Fairness and Transparency
We are committed to being fair and transparent in all our pricing.
All rates are clearly stated at the time of booking. There are no hidden fees or unexpected charges
— the price you are quoted is the total amount payable for your stay, unless you choose to add optional extras. Seasonal rates may vary depending on demand and availability, but any price changes will always be communicated before you confirm your booking.
