Terms and Conditions of Booking
The hiring Contract is made between the person making the booking (the ‘Hirer’) and the Agent (Coastland Holiday Park), and incorporates the conditions set out below. For some chalets, Coastland Holiday Park acts as the letting agent (the ‘Agent’) on behalf of a chalet leaseholder, and acts as stakeholder for deposits.
1. Bookings
The Hirer must be over 18 years of age and be a member of the party occupying the Property. The names of all those who will be occupying the property during the period of booking must be specified on the Booking Form. The Hirer certifies that he/she is authorised to agree to the terms and conditions on behalf of all persons in the party, including any who may be substituted or added at a later date. The Hirer agrees to take responsibility for the party occupying the property.
2. Payment
A 30% deposit is required at the time of booking and must be accompanied by a completed booking form. Once the Agent has accepted the booking the Hirer is liable for payment of the balance of rent, which must be paid 4 clear weeks before the holiday commencement date. Upon receipt of the balance, the Agent will issue a confirmation with travel directions and key collection details. In the event of payment of the balance not being received 4 weeks prior to the holiday commencement date, the Agent reserves the right to cancel the holiday and all deposits previously paid shall be forfeited.
(i) Reservations made at six weeks or less before the holiday commencement date shall be paid in full at the time of booking.
(ii) Payments can be made by cheque (made payable to Coastland Holiday Park) or by debit card or credit card. (no fee applicable)
(iii) Overseas Hirers may pay in Sterling by cheque drawn on a UK bank, debit/credit card or by international electronic transfer. Any charges for payments from overseas will be payable by the Hirer.
3. Tenure
The holiday term usually commences at 4pm for chalets and Coastland Cottage and 1pm for Campers. Changeover days and takeover times are clearly stated for each property on the booking confirmation. The holiday term terminates at 10am on the day of departure for chalets and Coastland Cottage and 12pm for Campers.
4. Occupancy
Unless expressly agreed in advance by the Agent, no group bookings (four or more adult party members) are accepted where all party members are under 25 years of age. No group bookings are accepted where all members are of the same sex, unless the group consists of members of the same family across a number of generations. The Agent reserves the right to refuse access to the property without compensation where no agreement has been given in advance. The Hirer’s right to occupy the property may be forfeited without compensation, or an additional charge levied, if:
(a) more people or guests than those specified on the Booking Form and/or the number the Property accommodates, attempt to take up occupation.
(b) Overnight guests are entertained without the Agent’s express permission.
(c) Any activity is undertaken which may cause damage, noise or disturbance.
(d) Any party member is found smoking in a non-smoking property.
(e) The Agent reserves the right to decline bookings from large single sex parties e.g. Hen & Stag parties.
5. Availability
The booking is made on the understanding that the Property will be placed at the Hirer’s disposal on the date stated. If this should not be possible through circumstances beyond the control of the Agent (e.g. Fire, Theft, Damage, Death or Illness) then every effort will be made provide alternative accommodation. If this is not possible, the Hirer’s deposit and any rent will be returned in full, and the Hirer will have no further claim against the Agent.
6. Cleaning
All properties are professionally cleaned prior to arrival. By accepting these Terms & Conditions the Hirer agrees to keep the property and its contents in the same condition and repair as found on arrival and shall ensure that all members of the party shall also take care of the property and its contents. The Hirer must ensure the property is left in a clean and tidy condition upon departure and all rubbish is disposed of when vacating the property. The Agent may charge the Hirer for the reasonable costs of any additional cleaning if this is necessary.

All dogs must be pre-booked prior to arrival at the property. Dogs must be kept on a lead in all public areas of the holiday park, other than the designated exercise field, and all waste must be collected and disposed of in the allocated bins. Dogs must not be left unattended in the property.
8. Complaints
Problems must be reported within 24 hours of occupation of the Property, or immediately upon a fault arising or being found and be confirmed in writing to the Agent. Complaints received after departure cannot be entertained as it will then be impossible for the problem to be effectively investigated and corrected. No rebates will be paid by the Agent for mechanical or electrical failure of any kind. Every effort shall be made to effect immediate repair or rectification. The Agent or a nominated tradesperson, has the right to enter the property (without prior notice if necessary) in order to carry out such repairs or to attend to any matters giving rise to emergencies or concern. The action taken by the Agent in respect of complaints is entirely at their discretion, and their decision is final.
9. Damage / Breakages
All damages and breakages are the responsibility of the Hirer, and should be notified to the Agent as soon as possible before the end of the holiday. The cost of damage or breakages shall be payable on demand, although minor damage or breakages will not normally be charged for. In circumstances where any extra cleaning, remedial work or breakage replacement is required beyond that which may reasonably be expected, the Agent reserves the right to charge the Hirer the additional costs incurred. The Agent reserves the right to terminate the occupancy at any time should the Hirer or any member of the party be found to be causing excessive damage to the Property or contents, and no refund of any remaining portion of the rent shall be made.
10. Liability

Holiday Cancellation and Curtailment
15. Cancellation
If, after you have booked and paid for your holiday, you find that you cannot take it for the reasons that are set out below:
a) Death, illness or injury of the Hirer or any other member of his party as listed on the Booking Form or close *relative (see definitions below):
This does not include:
i) Pre-existing medical conditions – any ongoing condition which has or will require medical treatment including consultation or advice within the last 12 months
ii) Travelling or acting against medical advice
iii) Awaiting results of tests or medical investigations
iv) Being on a hospital waiting list for treatment
v) Having received a terminal prognosis
vi) Pregnancy or giving birth when the expected date of birth is within two months of the holiday start date
vii) Posting away / abroad
viii) Redundancy
*Spouse, partner, child, parent, parent in law, brother, sister or fiancé(e).
We will normally, but at our absolute discretion, refund up to the holiday rental you are liable to pay. The decision of the agent at Coastland Holiday Park will be final in all cases.
If you do need to cancel your holiday please telephone Coastland Holiday Park immediately and follow up by writing within 48 hours. Your request will need to be supported, in due course, by a doctor’s certificate (at the expense of the Hirer) or a death certificate, as appropriate. We are unable to entertain any request to cancel a holiday which is received after the holiday start date.
16. In all other cases
We would endeavour to re-let the booking and if successful would normally consider a goodwill refund. At the discretion of the agent it may be necessary to discount the price of the holiday to secure a booking. In either event, a refund equal to the amount of rent achieved, less an administration fee of £50, will be made to the Hirer.
We regret that cancellation terms and conditions in this section, relating to possible refunds on successful re-letting of a particular holiday are only applicable to bookings made directly over the phone or via our website. This element of curtailment does not extended to bookings made on any third-party sites, booking channels or affiliates.
17. Price
Prices shown on our website are accurate, although may be affected by additional surcharges, not shown during the point of booking, but which are expressly referred to on other pages on our website where policy may intervene. These may include, but not be limited to:
a) Surcharges for dogs or pets.
b) Reduced occupancy for smaller parties (applies to 3 bedroom chalets only). Where mentioned, reduced occupancy can be applied to a booking where the agent agrees to a reduction in price for smaller parties.
*Reduced occupancy can only be obtained by calling to book prior to initial confirmation of your party and preferred dates of arrival. As reduced occupancy cannot be obtained by booking online, it is the responsibility of the main booking contact or person who submits the booking to Coastland Holiday Park to check and ensure the price for their holiday before any and all booking confirmation/s.
Reduced occupancy cannot be applied after a booking has been made online or through a third-party affiliate, as any refund against this booking will count as a cancellation of the original booking, whereby the party is subject to the normal cancellation policy, as read above. The Agent cannot be held responsible for the failure to mention reduced occupancy rates on any third-party, voucher code, cashback or affiliate sites prior to booking.
18. Vouchers
From time to time, we or our affiliate partners may issue voucher codes for discounts off holidays. No more than 1 voucher can be used at any time against the cost of a holiday, and all vouchers must be used online. NB. Failure to apply a valid voucher code to a booking prior to payment cannot be retrospectively amended, and the usage of the code is therefore forfeit. A voucher codes validity is purely down to the discretion of the agent at Coastland Holiday Park. If it has been advertised after the voucher validity has been withdrawn, we will not be able to apply this retrospectively. Grievances should be taken up with the third-party affiliate.
19. Changes
We, Coastland Holiday Park, reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify, update or replace these Terms at any time. By continuing to access or use our services, you agree to be bound by the revised terms.
