Terms and Conditions

Cancellation policy for all accommodation - We take a non-refundable 25% deposit at the time of booking. At this point your holiday is considered confirmed and the following cancellation charges come into effect. You are strongly advised to ensure that you have insurance to cover cancellation or curtailment of your holiday. At the point of booking and paying a deposit you are deemed to have accepted our terms and conditions. You may cancel your holiday with The Green Shed at any time, however the following fee structure will apply:
Cancellation 4 weeks or more prior to arrival date - Full refund on balance payment only
Cancellation less than 4 weeks prior to arrival date - No refund

Please pay special attention to the amendment to our standard terms and conditions -
Covid-19 Interruption Policy
If The Green Shed is in a position of forced closure or if you are unable to reach us due to a travel restriction during the period of your booking due to the Covid-19 Pandemic you will have the following options -
● Transfer the value of your booking to a future date (please note seasonal rate changes will apply)
● We can hold the value of what you have paid to date as a credit to apply to a future booking within 12 months
● Please note these terms only apply to restrictions enforced due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Incomplete payment/cancellation - Where the balance of the payment for your holiday has not been paid 6 weeks prior to the commencement of your holiday, we will send you a reminder. If, within 10 days of the reminder being sent, the balance is still outstanding, The Green Shed will be entitled to rescind the agreement, retain the deposit, and then claim against you all losses incurred. In the case of cancellation more than 4 weeks before the commencement of your stay only the deposit will be forfeited. It is your responsibility to ensure you have appropriate insurance.

Travel issues - We do not offer refunds for late arrivals, early departures or cancellations due to circumstances beyond our control, for example, bad weather or travel issues. Be aware that you are visiting an island two ferry rides from the mainland and ensure that you have adequate holiday insurance to cover any eventualities. 

Amendments to bookings - We reserve the right to levy an administration charge of £50 for amendments to your booking arrangements in addition to any other charges applicable. In principle, amendments are not permitted within 6 weeks of your arrival date.
