If you need to cancel your booking, the following policy applies:
Cancellation or change by us:
All reasonable endeavours will be taken to ensure that the retreat takes place on the planned date and at the location advertised. However, where this becomes impractical due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, or where bookings are insufficient to justify it, we may cancel or rearrange the retreat at our discretion.
Therefore:
Where a Retreat is cancelled, our only liability to you will be to refund the total of the Fees which we have received from you in respect of the retreat, less any previously processed refunds. Where a Retreat is rearranged to take place on the original date but at another location within a 15-mile radius of the originally advertised location, we consider the terms of the original retreat to have remained the same. Where a Retreat is rearranged to take place on the original date but at another location outside of a 15-mile radius of the originally advertised location, we ask that you reconfirm your booking within 24 hours of us advising you of the change of location. Otherwise, we will have no liability for the change of location. Should you choose not to reconfirm, the refund policy above will apply. Where a retreat is rearranged to take place on another date, you will receive a full refund of the total fees we have received from you regarding the retreat, less any previously processed refunds. If appropriate, we will attempt to move your booking to a mutually convenient alternative retreat.
Travel insurance:
It is your responsibility to ensure you have adequate travel insurance for this trip. Our insurance means we cannot drive you anywhere, but we can provide details of local taxi firms as required.
