1. General

All reservations at Eagle House are subject to the following Terms and Conditions.  Guests who do not comply with our Terms and Conditions may have their booking cancelled, be refused access to Eagle House, be removed from Eagle House and/or have future bookings declined. Such guests will have no right to a refund.  This is without prejudice to any claim that we may have against you or arising out of your actions. 

2. Making a booking 

We will send you a confirmation email when a booking has been made.  The confirmation email is proof that we have accepted your booking.  No booking shall be binding until we send your confirmation email.

You must be aged 18 years or over to make a booking with us and you must be aged 18 years or over to stay alone.  If a guest arrives at Eagle House and is under 18 years of age the guest will not be permitted to stay alone.  You must not leave under 18s unattended in any rooms or public areas at any time.

The full name of at least one guest must be provided at the time of booking and must correspond to a person who will be staying at the property. Where a booking is made on behalf of another individual, the name of the guest who will be occupying the accommodation must still be supplied. The person making the booking is responsible for ensuring that the correct guest details are provided and may remain liable for the booking and any associated terms.

Guests may be required to show government issued photo ID to prove identity and age.

Any special requests with regard to rooms need to be made at the time of booking.  We shall try to accommodate such requests, although these cannot be guaranteed.  Some requests may incur extra charges which will be notified to you.

3. Cancellation, refunds and no shows

3.1. Cancellation by the Guest

Cancellations must be made via email to info@eaglehouse-eccleshall.com and must include the original booking reference.

As a very small family business, we cannot recover the cost of cancelled bookings which is why we have a strict 14 day cancellation policy. In the event of a cancellation up to 14 days prior to the scheduled date of arrival, no charge will be made and any payment shall be refunded in full. Refunds for cancellations out of this timeframe will not be given in any circumstances. 

As an example, a booking with a check-in date of 16 January 2024 can be cancelled up until 23:59 (GMT) on 1 January 2024 and a full refund would be given. If this same booking was cancelled on or after 2 January 2024, no refund would be given.

Bookings can be rescheduled (subject to availability), on an equivalent rate, provided this is requested more than 14 days before the original check in date.  Rescheduling outside of this timeframe will not be permitted.

You cannot transfer or resell your booking to any third party.  Any bookings resold or transferred will not be honoured and we accept no liability in respect of this.  We may also refuse to take any future bookings from you.

We advise all of our guests to purchase travel insurance.  We are happy to provide any details needed to process an insurance claim resulting from a guest needing to cancel or curtail their booking. Travel insurance, credit card carriers and personal/home insurance may cover you for unexpected cancellations, emergencies or changes to your travel plans.  We do not offer this service.
