Terms & Conditions
Please read this brief guide. To make your online booking, simply follow the directions, entering the details as prompted. Please allow 12 hours’ notice prior to your expected arrival to process the booking. Confirmation of a booking by the Client is deemed acceptance of these terms.
In these Terms of Business, the following words shall mean: -
Inn – a inn independently owned by Rosdon Ltd
Client – the person, firm or company making a booking or staying at the Inn;
These terms apply to all bookings except to the extent that specific terms apply for a particular booking.
- Prices
All published rates include VAT or local service charges at the current rate. Accommodation rates are per room per night with meal plans as indicated.
The Inn reserves the right to alter prices for any reason up to the date of booking or up to 12 weeks prior to arrival, whichever is the later. After such dates, prices may only be altered to reflect a change in the rate of VAT or local service charge and taxes or for any other reason outside of the control of the Inn, in which the changes will be notified to the Client. In the latter event, the Client may cancel the booking without cost. - Availability
All rooms and rates offered by the Inn are subject to availability and the discretion of the General manager. Limited numbers of suitable rooms may be allocated to individual rates, packages or promotions and, when these allocations are taken up, remaining available rooms may be offered to the Client at a higher price. - Bookings
Bookings must be guaranteed for the first night’s accommodation by a valid and verified major credit or debit card, by payment of a deposit or by agreement in writing with a company, travel agent or inn booking agency. At the discretion of the Inn, full pre-payment may be required. At least three working days are required to process credit and debit card payments and five working days to process cheque payments.
If booking to stay at the Inn during a local event, for example; the Goodwood Members' Meeting, The Qatar Goodwood Festival (Glorious Goodwood), Goodwood Festival of Speed or the Goodwood Revival Meeting, please note a non-refundable deposit or full payment may be required to secure your reservation. Payment will be taken at the time of booking. Payment is non-refundable, non-transferable, non-cancellable. - Arrival and Departure
Bedrooms are usually available from 3pm local time on the day of arrival. Check out is usually by 10.30am local time. There may be occasions, at times of high demand, when our Clients can check in and use all the inn facilities, but the bedroom is still being prepared. - Car Parking
The inn has its own carpark, which is free to residents. The inn does not accept responsibility for damage to, or from theft from, or for the theft of vehicles parked on the inn premises. - Cancellations, Amendments and Non-Shows
Cancellations and amendments for bookings made on line can be made via the Horse & Groom website.
When the booking is confirmed, a reservation number will be supplied. This must be retained for access to the booking in the event of the need for cancellation and/or amendment.
There is no charge, and any deposit paid will be returned, if a guaranteed reservation is cancelled at any time up to 72 hours prior to check-in, excluding advance purchase rates.
In the event of non-arrival or cancellation less than 72 hours prior to check-in and where the booking has been guaranteed, a charge equivalent to one night’s accommodation at the package rate at which the reservation was made will be levied. Normal terms of payment apply to these charges. For this purpose, the Inn reserves the right to set-off the amount payable for such cancellation against the Client’s credit card without prior notice or approval of the Client, where applicable.
If the Inn cancels more than 72 hours before the scheduled time of check-in, the Inn’s liability to the Client will be no greater than the amount paid by the client in respect of any booking. If the Inn cancels less than 72 hours before the scheduled time of check-in, the Inn’s liability will be limited to the charge for one night’s accommodation. Where possible the Inn may but is not obliged nor will it be liable to find alternative accommodation for the Client in the event that the Inn is unable to accommodate the Client.
A cancellation number will be provided at the time of cancellation and this should be retained for future reference. - Payment
Settlement of the bill in full, less any advance payments must be made prior to departure from the Inn. Upon arrival the Inn reserves the right to request preauthorisation of the Client’s credit or debit card.
We accept: Visa, Mastercard or Maestro. Personal cheques must be supported by a valid cheque card. Cheques cannot be pre-dated. Company cheques are not accepted without prior clearance. Please contact the Inn prior to arrival.
All sums are due for payment on presentation of the invoice. In the event of any query relating to the invoice, the Client must notify the Inn within 7 days of the invoice date and the Client’s obligation to pay all outstanding balances immediately will not be affected.
Your credit card or billing account details are only retained for the purpose of handling that individual transaction, unless you ask us to keep these details for future purchases which you may make through us. Personal Information and payment details may be used by the system to determine automatically the appropriate way to fulfil your order.
