Young’s and Co Brewery PLC General terms of business
In these General terms of business, the following words shall mean:- “Client” – the person, firm or company making a booking or staying at the Hotel; “Young’s Hotel(s)” – a hotel operated by Young’s and Co Brewery PLC. These terms apply to all bookings except to the extent that specific terms apply for a particular booking. Confirmation of a booking by the Client is deemed acceptance of these terms.
Prices
All published rates include VAT or local service charges and taxes at the current rate. The Hotel reserves the right to alter prices for any reason up to the date of booking or up to 12 weeks prior to arrival, whichever is the later. After such dates, prices may only be altered to reflect a change in the rate of VAT or local service charges and taxes or for any other reason outside of the control of the Hotel, in which case the changes will be notified to the Client. In the latter event, the Client may cancel the booking without cost.
Availability
All rooms and rates offered by the Hotel are subject to availability and the discretion of the Hotel manager. Limited numbers of suitable rooms may be allocated to individual rates, packages or promotions and, when these allocations are taken up, remaining available rooms may be offered to the Client at a higher price.
Bookings
Bookings must be guaranteed for the first night’s accommodation by a major credit card, by payment of a deposit or by agreement in writing with a company, travel agent or hotel booking agency. At the discretion of the Hotel or specific early bird or package rates, full pre-payment may be required. At least 3 working days are required to process credit and debit card payments. Corporate clients payment is due as per pre-arranged agreement.
Arrival and departure
Bedrooms are usually available from 3pm local time on the day of arrival. Departure is by 11am local t ime. There may be occasions, at times of high demand, when our Clients can check in and use all the Hotel facilities, but the bedroom is still being prepared.
Car Parking
Most Hotels have their own car park which is usually free to residents. Some Hotels, however, have limited on-site parking and Clients are advised to check with the Hotel whether there is a charge for off-site parking. The Hotel does not accept responsibility for damage to, or theft from, or theft of vehicles parked on Hotel premises.
Cancellations, amendments and non-arrivals
There is no charge, and any deposit paid will be returned, if a guaranteed reservation is cancelled at any time up to 12pm local time the day prior to arrival unless the terms of the booking state otherwise e.g. early bird rates which are pre-payment only and non-refundable/ non-amendable. In the event of non-arrival or cancellation after 12pm local time the day prior to arrival and where the booking has been guaranteed, a charge equivalent to one night’s accommodation at the package rate at which the reservation was made will be levied. Normal terms of payment apply to these charges. For this purpose the Hotel reserves the right to set-off the amount payable for such cancellation against the Client’s credit card without prior notice or approval of the Client, where applicable. If the Hotel cancels before 2pm local time on the day prior to the scheduled arrival, the Hotel’s liability to the Client will be no greater than the amount paid by the Client in respect of any booking. If the Hotel cancels after 3pm local time on the day prior of arrival, the Hotel’s liability will be limited to the charge for one night’s accommodation. Where possible the Hotel may assist but is not obliged nor will it be liable to find alternative accommodation for the Client in the event that the Hotel is unable to accommodate the Client. A cancellation number will be provided at the time of cancellation and this should be retained for future reference.
