Holiday Terms
Please read these terms and conditions carefully. When you book your holiday with us, you are entering into a contract which binds you and the park in various ways. Your payment is taken to be your acceptance of our terms and conditions. Together with your Booking Form and Invoice, they comprise the complete contract and no agent or employee of ours or the parks has any authority, express or implied to alter the terms and conditions of this contract unless authorised to do so in writing. All bookings are made with the respective park (the ‘park’) and are accepted on the strict understanding that the person signing the Booking Form (the ‘hirer’) does so on behalf of all the persons named on it, each of whom has read the following conditions of booking and agrees to be bound by them.
PARK RULES
1. You agree to abide by the rules of the park where you are staying. Copies of the rules are on display at the park and you may obtain a copy of the rules from reception.
CANCELLATION BY THE PARK
2. Accommodation paid in full will be held by the park. Any refund on monies is under the discretion of the park. All deposits are non-refundable.
CUTTING SHORT YOUR HOLIDAY
3. If you feel the need to cut short your holiday with the park after it has commenced, no refund will be offered. To cancel your holiday prior to arrival please return to our Cancellation Policy.
CHANGING YOUR HOLIDAY
4. If you wish to alter your booking details in any way from those shown on your booking form please contact the park directly.
SPECIAL REQUESTS
5. The park will endeavour to meet your special requests, any requests must be made at the time of your stay being paid in full.
HOLIDAY PRICES
6. All prices include VAT at 20% and are subject to change if the rate or application of VAT changes and in the event of a change in the VAT during the course of the year, you will be invoiced at the new amount of VAT unless you have already taken your holiday or paid the balance in full prior to the date of change.
7. Where the holiday falls between two price panels, the panel with the majority of nights of the holiday will be used to calculate the holiday costs. Where an equal number of nights are taken in two different price periods, the average of the two weekly prices applies.
8. A deposit is payable within 7 days of initial booking. The full balance is then due 6 weeks prior to your holiday. For bookings made within 28 days of arrival, full payment is required on booking. Please note that all deposits are non- refundable.
9. Deposits and final payments can be made by cash, debit card, credit card or cheque made payable to Lyons Holiday Park Ltd. If you are paying by cheque please put your name, address and holiday date on the reverse of the cheque. We strongly recommend cheques are sent via recorded delivery to the park. We strongly advise against sending cash through the mail.
GENERAL TERMS

Very occasionally, unforeseen circumstances may not make this possible and in such a situation we reserve the right to cancel your booking.
