Terms of Booking
& Booking Deposit

By placing a booking with The Regency (Us/We) you (the person/ legal entity making the booking) and your booking party (guests) are deemed to accept and are bound by the following terms and conditions as set out. These conditions apply to both direct bookings and those made via third party channels. If you have any questions about booking with us, please contact us before making a booking.

1. Booking Process

To place a booking with us the lead guest must be at least 25 years of age. The maximum number of staying guests per room is illustrated in the room occupancy details on the website/ welcome pack. Where the person making the booking is different to the lead guest taking up the occupation, the person making the booking may be held responsible for cancellation, non-arrival and damages as set out within.

This contract becomes effective when your booking is confirmed by phone and/or email, a reservation number is given. This number must be retained and quoted in all communications. Should any cancellation or amendment be necessary you will need to quote this reservation number when you contact us.


Prices

All prices include VAT or other applicable taxes at the current rate. Prices quoted are correct only for the specific number of guests, dates, nights, and rooms shown on your Booking Confirmation.

If you have selected optional extras these are added to the total price of your Booking. Prices do not include other costs you may choose to incur during your stay (unless otherwise stated).


Payments

To secure a booking via our website we require a deposit to be paid in advance, this deposit amount is equal to 50% of the total booking value. This includes any optional extras added to your booking at the time of reservation.

Payments must be ‘cleared funds’ before a booking can be confirmed. All Deposits are non-refundable.

Payments can be made online or over the phone using a debit / credit card.

The outstanding balance due on your booking will be due 30 days prior to arrival. Bookings made less than 30 days prior to arrival will require the full balance to be paid at the time of reservation.

Optional extras added to the booking before the reservation has been paid in full will automatically be paid by way of the standard payments outlined above. Optional extras added after the full balance on the booking has been paid will be due immediately at the time of the request.


Damages

We reserve the right to charge the lead guest for any damages caused throughout the course of a booking by any member of the booking party. This includes breakages, spillages, stains, (beyond small accidents deemed to be in the course of general wear and tear) and all damage to furniture or fixtures and fittings. Any accidental damages should be reported as soon as possible in order to minimise damage and associated costs.

Upon booking you accept liability for damages caused by you and your booking party and grant The Regency permission to take a Damage Deposit of £200 by way of a pre-authorised ‘hold’ on your card used at the time of booking. The hold will be placed on the day of arrival and released within three days of departure where there is no cause to retain it. A pre-authorisation is not a charge, and no monies are taken from your account, but the credit limit available on your card may be temporarily reduced by the value of the Damage Deposit.

Where the cost of damage repairs exceeds the value of the Damage Deposit you will be billed separately after your stay.


Arrival and Departure

The standard arrival (check-in) windows in between 3pm and 11pm. In order to provide you with the highest level of service on your arrival, we ask that you provide an accurate estimate of your arrival time and update us when changes occur. The standard departure (check-out) window is before 11am. While we will try to accommodate arrivals and departures outside the standard time windows there may be circumstances where this is not possible. Request for a late check-out may incur additional charges. We will confirm these charges with you prior to adding them to your bill.

Prior to arrival, we ask that you complete our “Pre-Arrival Check-in Form”. We will email you a link to this form 14 days prior to your arrival.


Cancellation & Amendments

Guests needing to cancel a booking should contact us as soon as possible. The level of refund awarded will depend on the amount of advance notice given.

Refund Policy:

Cancellations more than 30 days in advance of the check in date will be awarded a full refund. Future payments due on the reservation will also be waived.

Cancellations less than 30 days in advance of the check in date will be charged the full booking value quoted at the time of confirmation

There are no additional cancellations fees.

Non-arrival guests, who are unable to attend or fail to attend for whatever reason forfeit the full amount paid. It is suggested that booking guests take out appropriate holiday / cancellation insurance where required.

In the rare event we need to cancel your booking with us, please be aware that we cannot be held liable for circumstances beyond our control and that our liability to you is limited to the refund of any payment already made. We will only cancel a booking in extreme circumstances. Examples of such circumstances include but are not limited to:

o In the event of a natural disaster or ‘an act of God’.

o In the event of unforeseen and considerable damage to the property.

o To comply with a government mandate.

In circumstances where guests fail to comply with the booking terms and conditions, or we have reason to believe false information was provided on the reservation or “Pre-Arrival Check-in Form”, we reserve the right to cancel the booking with no refund given.

Where possible we will always work with guests to find an alternative solution before terminating the reservation.

Should you require any changes to you booking in advance of or during your stay you should contact us directly. Changes to dates, occupancy and duration of stay will be subject to any relevant price changes and may not always be possible. No refunds will be issued in respect of amendments to any booking.

Optional extras may be added after the time of booking. Please arrange these as soon as reasonably possible. Our team will always try to accommodate last minute requests, however, those made within 24 hours of check-in may not be possible.
