Bookings will only be considered as confirmed after a non refundable deposit of £20.00 per person has been received, Please Note where a one night booking is made full payment for that booking will be required, all deposits shall be made via debit/credit card either at time of booking, or within seven days of a provisional booking. Where a provisional booking has been made and a deposit has not been received within the specified time the booking will automatically be cancelled and the room re-let.

All bookings will be confirmed by us either by email (if an email address has been provided) or by post.

Bookings made within 48 hours of the arrival date will be subject to full payment via debit/credit card at time of booking.

We will only accept bookings from families and couples only (same sex couples accepted), WE DO NOT ACCEPT STAG & HEN PARTIES, It should be noted that mixed groups who book individually as couples will be turned away with loss of deposit and without entitlement of compensation.

The Parkfield Hotel operates a minimum two-night policy for bank holiday weekends and all weekends during the illuminations.

Subletting / Selling On

Once a reservation has been made, the person making that reservation is legally liable for all payments which relate to it.  It is therefore strictly forbidden to sublet or resell that reservation through any third party media such as Ebay or Gumtree etc.

Any attempt to do so will result in the reservation being cancelled with loss of all monies paid. Any booking agents involved such as bookings.com etc. will also be informed, which could result in a ban from their site being imposed upon you.

Check in – Check Out

You can check in anytime after 11.00am, however it is likely your room will not be ready until 2.00pm, should this be the case we can store your luggage for you until your room has been prepared.  On day of departure please vacate your room by 10.00am, this gives us time to prepare it for new arrivals, Should you wish to depart later in the day we can again store your luggage for you to collect later, (subject to prior arrangement). Please note valuables are left at your own risk, the proprietors accept no responsibility for loss or damage to guest property, unless handed in for safekeeping.

Children

Well-behaved children are welcome at the Parkfield Hotel however parents are requested and expected to supervise their children at all times. Our Hotel is not a playground for children to run around in, there will most probably be other guests staying in the Hotel, so this behaviour is not acceptable and will not be tolerated.

Children are allowed in the bar area but again only under supervision. We would respectfully ask that you do not allow your child to fall asleep in the bar as this restricts the use of the seating for other guests.
