Terms & Conditions

Booking Terms and Conditions

These Booking Conditions form the basis of your contract with us.

1. Contract
The Contract for a short-term holiday rental shall be made between the Client named on the booking system and Pentrehobyn Hall.
The Contract shall be governed by UK Law. It will be entered into when the deposit is processed and Pentrehobyn Hall issues the confirmation letter.
The Contract will be subject to all the following booking conditions. The Client should check the confirmation form carefully.

2. Payment
A deposit of £500 of rental fee is payable if the booking is made more than three months before the commencement of the rental.
The balance of the rental fee and a security deposit of £500 for Pentrehobyn Hall and Coach House and £250 for Ty Newydd, Pistyll and Cottage (see further details 3. below, applicable to all rental) is payable at least 10 weeks before the arrival date. Non-payment of the balance of the rental on or before the due date shall be construed as a cancellation
of the contract by the Client. For bookings made less than 10 weeks before the commencement of the rental, the total rental fee is payable. The security deposit must be paid no less than 2 weeks prior to arrival with cleared funds. Payment can only be accepted by recognised payment card or bank transfer and must be denominated in sterling (UK pounds). For properties booked less than three weeks before your arrival date your booking must be paid for in full, by bank transfer or card transfer along with the security deposit.
We do not accept cash or cheques. We do not accept payments in instalments.

3. Security Deposit
A security deposit of £500 for Pentrehobyn Hall and Coach House and £250 for Ty Newydd, Pistyll and Cottage is payable no later than 2 weeks before the booking date.
You are required to keep the property clean and in good order and will be responsible for any breakages (see 10. and 11. below).
Accompanied pre and post inspections with guests are available upon request in advance. We will deduct from the Security Deposit the cost of remedying any breach
of these obligations together with the cost of any service or goods provided. The whole amount, or the balance after any deduction, of the Security Deposit will be refunded to you following the end of the letting. Please note from the agreed return date some credit and debit cards can take up to 14 days to receive the refund and it to show on your statement.

4. Cancellation
Any cancellation made by the Client for whatever reason shall be in writing and emailed to Pentrehobyn Hall at the following email address: [email protected].
The client should ensure receipt of this email and call for an acknowledgement and speak to someone if none is received by return.
Pentrehobyn Hall will endeavour to re-let the property by making the dates available again on the website and all portals and agents used at that time.
If we are unable to re-let, the full balance owing will remain payable by you and the deposit will not be refunded. If Pentrehobyn Hall only succeeds in re-letting the property for part of the period booked it shall refund an amount equal to the money paid less (1) the rental for the period which is not re-let and (2) an administrative charge of £100. If Pentrehobyn Hall is unable to re-let the property at all then all monies paid by the Client shall be forfeit to Pentrehobyn Hall. Any balance owing will remain payable by you. Pentrehobyn Hall strongly recommends Clients take out Cancellation Insurance as the
above refund terms are non-negotiable.

5. Changes of Date
Pentrehobyn Hall may consider a request from a client to change the dates of the booking after confirmation has been issued.
Agreement will be given where the request is received more than six months away from the start of the booking, subject to availability of the property.

We do have neighbours close by whose needs we respect – and who are used to enjoying a peaceful, tranquil environment in this lovely location. We therefore ask all our guests to show consideration to the environment and our neighbours in all matters, and especially regarding noise. To help ensure everyone’s time on The Pentrehobyn Estate goes well, we ask you to respect the following noise rules:
