Your 10 or 11 day holiday is the normal weekly cost plus 50% of the following week's charge. Start times are 2.30pm return by 9.30am.

YOUR INITIAL PAYMENT WHEN YOU BOOK
The Initial Payment shown below is needed to secure your holiday and to give your whole party cover for Cancellation Insurance.
Payment in FULL is required if you are booking within 8 weeks of your holiday.

Price per week or short break Total Initial Payment
£301 to £500 £125
£501 to £750 £150
£751 to £900 £170
Over £900 £180


How Much To Pay

The Deposit shown in the table includes your premium for Cancellation and Curtailment Insurance. Personal Holiday Insurance including Vehicle Breakdown Insurance is also recommended. Details of the cover and premium can be found inside the brochure letter. If you book more than one week or short break, an Initial Payment should be paid for each week or short break booked. For example, a 2-week holiday on Hambledon with weekly prices of £474 and £559 would mean a deposit of £275 made up of £125 for the first week and £150 for the second. This is the amount you would send us when you make your booking. For 10/11 day holidays you should add the payments for the week and short break dates which make up your total holiday period.

When you receive your booking confirmation (usually within 10 days), please check the details carefully. It will tell you when your balance payment is due.
