Bookings are subject to the following terms and conditions as agreed to at the time of booking.

  • A contract between you and Tangled Bank Holidays will come into existence when we receive payment of your deposit and accept your booking by issuing a confirmation of booking for the holiday dates shown in the rental agreement. The contract binds you & all the members of your party. It is your responsibility to ensure that all members of your party accept the terms of the contract set out in these terms & conditions of booking. Failure to disclose all relevant information or comply with these terms may lead to termination of the contract & loss of the booking.
  • Bookings made through our online booking system are provisional until confirmed by Tangled Bank Holidays
