Our Terms & Conditions


Cancellations 

The following charges will apply for cancellations:

Total Cancellation

Due to the nature of our core business being Hen Parties (as well as operating for only 4 months of the year) with bookings mostly made a year or more in advance we have to implement a strict cancellation policy (as we are unlikely to rebook the place if cancelled 3 months or less before the date booked).   So the following applies:

  • 5-4 months prior to booking your date = 70% due
  • 4-3 months prior to your booking date = 80% due 
  • 3 months or less prior to your booking = 100% due

Single Person Cancellation

The cost of the minimum number of people required to book each venue always has to be met regardless of dropouts.  However, for cancellations outside of the minimum number we will refund the balance only (not the deposit) if notified 8 weeks or more before your booking date.
