Terms and Conditions 

 

Booking & Payment Terms:

A booking can be made for three nights (two in some cases) or more and arriving any available day.  This can be made using the secure on-line booking page on our “York Luxury Holidays” website (https://www.yorkluxuryholidays.co.uk).  A "provisional booking" does not constitute a "booking confirmation" until direct confirmation from York Luxury Holidays has been sent by email to the lead guest, which is always within 24 hours of a provisional booking being made.  A 40% deposit will be required to confirm a booking with the balance due one month before arrival. A non-refundable booking fee of £35 (as detailed at the time of booking) will also be due in order to confirm a booking.  If booking within a month of arrival date the full amount will be requested on booking.  “York Luxury Holidays” accept all credit and debit cards except Amex and have no hidden charges.  Late payment may result in cancellation of the dates booked and the Cancellation Policy below will then apply as if guests had requested the cancellation. We charge a booking fee for the services we provide in administering a booking. Any booking fee will be stated on our website at the time of booking and will be shown as a separate charge on your confirmation. We do not accept arrivals or departures on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve or New Year's Day and The City Escape does not allow for arrivals on Saturdays or Sundays. If a booking is placed to arrive or depart on these days then we will be forced to cancel and provide a refund but the booking fee of £35 will not be repaid.

 

Cancellation Policy:

 

In the event of guests needing to cancel a booked stay (whether in full or in part) the relevant accommodation owners and York Luxury Holidays will make every effort to re-book the cancelled dates. A refund will be made of the cost paid for the accommodation less the published price, at the time of booking, of any days left vacant i.e. not re-booked.  The liability for any loss to guests against the cost of the booked holiday accommodation will need to be met by guests’ own Holiday Insurance, which guests are advised to set up. In the unlikely event of the accommodation owners or York Luxury Holidays needing to cancel a booked stay, guests shall be refunded the full cost paid for the booked and confirmed accommodation but for no other part of the trip including e.g. travel and other arrangements.  (A cancellation by the owner or York Luxury Holidays would occur e.g. if the property was, upon or after receipt of a booking, identified as no longer being available, had been booked against our terms and conditions, there was a problem with the property or the property or area was deemed to be unsafe.)  An administration fee of £25 will be charged by York Luxury Holidays for any cancellation of, or alteration to, a booking made by guests.  A booking fee paid at the point of booking is non-refundable in any circumstance, unless in the event of a booking being cancelled by York Luxury Holidays or the Owner.
