We accommodate weekend breaks, midweek getaways and week-long stays. Most of our property’s ‘changeover’ days are Fridays and Mondays. Some of our properties do offer arrival on other days of the week, especially for late availability and quieter seasons; you will be able to see this by going through the individual property’s availability calendar.
The quickest way to book a stay with us is via the website. We spread the cost of your holiday by asking for a deposit of a third to be paid on confirmation of the booking. Once the deposit has been received, due within 24 hours of booking, you will receive your booking confirmation email.

You can also call us if you are having any issues paying online.
For bookings made within eight weeks of the arrival date we will require the payment in full on confirmation. If you would like to pay off more of your booking before the balance payment is due, you can do this by logging into your account and making an online payment.
