Nobody really likes pages and pages of ‘small print’ with complicated jargon & hard to understand phrases. However sadly these days they are a fact of life. Here at Y Gwynedd we have done our best to keep it all to a minimum, but the following terms should be read & understood as by making a booking with us, you are agreeing to be bound by these terms and conditions.Reservations
To book a room, we must have credit card details. This shall include the card number, expiry date, start date (if applicable), issue number (if applicable), CVC code, billing postcode, house number, card holder name & issuing bank.
Liability
You shall be liable for any damage caused to any part of the hotel and grounds or equipment by yourself or any person invited by you or on your behalf. The hotel shall not accept liability in respect of any loss or damage to articles brought into the hotel or to vehicles left in the car park.
Payment
We will normally attempt to take payment for your stay seven days in advance from your chosen payment method (except for Non Refundable bookings). If that is unsuccessful, will ask you to provide new card details within 24 hours after which point the booking will be cancelled.
Please note, we no longer accept cheques and, due to the current contactless nature of our ‘new normal’ check in process, we cannot accept cash in person on the day.
Cancellation & Curtailment
The cancellation policy depends on which rate you chose when you made your booking:
Flexible 7 bookings (Standard Policy)
In the event of a cancellation more than seven days in advance, the hotel will cancel the booking with no financial penalty providing notice is received at least seven days in advance of the first nights stay.
In the event of a cancellation less than seven days in advance, a charge equivalent to the full value of the booking shall be charged to the card on record as a cancellation fee.
Non Refundable bookings
Bookings made at our discounted, non refundable rate are non refundable AT ANY TIME. Payment may be taken at any time from when the booking was made up until the date of check in. If we are unable to take payment from your chosen method we reserve the right to cancel the booking at any time.
All Bookings
Some periods require a minimum stay of two or three nights. If you cut your break short during one of these periods, you shall still be charged for the full minimum period. This means that if the stay was for (say) two nights and the minimum booking was two nights, even if you only stayed one night you would still be charged for two nights.
Nobody likes to pay cancellation charges, particularly if the reason for cancelling is for some kind of emergency, so for this reason we STRONGLY advise taking out ADEQUATE TRAVEL INSURANCE to cover you for this unfortunate event.
Check In & Check Out Times
Your room will be ready for you to check in to by 5:00pm. If you arrive earlier than this, we will try our best to accommodate but this cannot be guaranteed. The latest check in is 10:30pm.
Check out time is 10:30am on the day of departure. We will try and be flexible on this if you tell us and we can accommodate, however if you check out later than this but before 1:00pm we reserve the right to charge the equivalent of an extra half day’s date. If you check out later than 1:00pm, you shall be charged for a full extra days stay.
Group and/or High Value bookings
If you are booking for a group or the total value of your booking exceeds £1000, we reserve the right to charge a deposit at the time of booking equivalent to either a) 20% of the value of the booking or b) the cost of the first night’s stay, whichever the greater. This does not affect our cancellation policy. If the booking is subsequently cancelled during the free cancellation period (if any), the deposit will be refunded to you back via your original payment method.
Alcohol
Any form of intoxicating liquor must not be brought onto the premises without prior consent of the management. A corkage may be charged in certain circumstances.
Pets
Pets are STRICTLY PROHIBITED in the guest rooms
