APPLICABLE TO ALL BOOKINGS
Booking
By making a booking, you agree on behalf of all persons detailed on the booking that you have read these terms and conditions and agree to be bound by them; you consent to our use of information in accordance with our Privacy Policy, and that you are over 18 years of age.
The lead member of the party guarantees payment to us of the total booking price. In the event of there being an entitlement to a refund from our company for any reason permitted in these terms and conditions, such refund will be made to the lead member of the party. Instructions regarding changes and/or cancellations will be taken only from the lead member of the party.
When you make your booking, you must pay the relevant deposit or full payment as specified at the time of booking. If you believe that any details on the confirmation email (or any other document) are wrong, you must advise us immediately as changes cannot be made later and it may harm your rights if we are not notified of any inaccuracies in any document immediately.
Please check that all names, dates and timings are correct on receipt of all documents and advise us of any errors immediately. Any changes to these details will incur the charges stated below. Please ensure that the names given are the same as in the relevant passport.
Booking Fee
All camping and glamping arrangements booked with us are subject to a non-refundable 10% booking fee. This fee is included in the total price quoted on the website, in brochures and marketing literature. In the event of holiday cancellation, for any reason outside of Duke’s control, we will retain the booking fee. Additional fees may apply to cancellations.
Prices
The price you have to pay for your room is as set out on our Website for your chosen type of room and booking dates, or, if different, as set out in writing from us to you (price).
The price we charged is in £ Sterling GBP and you agree to pay us the full amount in £ Sterling. We are not responsible for any difference that may arise due to fluctuations in exchange rate or other causes. You agree to pay all bank charges in relation to the transaction(s).
Payment
You will be required to pay a 25% of your booking at the time of your booking.
We may allow additional time to pay in certain extenuating circumstances. If we do we have the right to charge interest on late payments at the rate of 4% per annum above the base rate of HSBC Bank plc at that time.
Special Requests
If you have any special requests (for example dietary requirements or room location), please let us know at the time of booking. We will pass on all such requests to the supplier, but we do not guarantee that they will be met and we will have no liability to you if they are not.
Changes to Booking
Where applicable, you may modify your booking, such as booking dates or number of guests. All changes are subject to availability. Changes to booking dates can only be made for the same calendar year as your initial booking, and in the same period of operation of the the camping or glamping site. If the price for the new booking dates or number of guests exceeds the price for your old booking, you agree to pay the excess amount immediately. If the price for the new booking dates or number of guests is less than the price for your old booking, you agree that no refund for the difference is payable by us, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Requests to alter bookings will be taken only from the lead member of the party. Where the request can be met, we will confirm the amendment by issuing a revised confirmation invoice. We will make an administration charge of up to £25 per booking amendment (maximum £150 per booking reference number) which will be payable along with any price increase for the altered arrangements. If any further administration charges are incurred from suppliers in respect of your request you agree to pay them in full.
Cancellation
You or we may cancel bookings, subject to the following:
a) Cancellation by you. Should you or any member of your party decide to cancel your/their booking once it has been made, notification of the cancellation instruction will be required in writing from the lead member of the party.
The effective date for cancellation is the date when we receive your written instructions at our registered office. Notification by email will be accepted and, for the purposes of calculating cancellation charges, emails will be treated as having been received by us 24 hours after they are sent. Receipt of emails will be acknowledged. We will have no liability to you in the event of emails not being received, or their delivery being delayed, for technical or other reasons.
If you or any member of your party cancels, a charge is payable by the lead member of the party by way of agreed damages to cover our estimated losses, calculated on the scale set out below:
Period before departure by which written instructions are received by us
Cancellation charge – shown as a percentage of the total price
More than 125 days – Loss of deposit/amount paid at the time of booking
Less than 126 days – 100%
b) Cancellation by us. We reserve the right to cancel your booking should there be insufficient demand overall for the accommodation at the particular location or for such other reasons as we think necessary. Subject to other provisions in the terms and conditions, if we do cancel the booking, we will refund your payment and you acknowledge that we have no further liability to you by way of compensation or otherwise. We will endeavor to give you reasonable notice should this be the case to minimize any inconvenience to you.
Insurance
Adequate travel insurance is not a condition of your contract with either us or the supplier in question, as applicable. You are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to take out a policy of insurance in order to cover you and your party against the cost of cancellation by you; the cost of assistance (including repatriation) in the event of accident or illness; loss of baggage and money; and other expenses.
UK Residents: Note that only limited medical cover is provided to UK Residents under the reciprocal health agreement with the UK Government and it is recommended that full travel insurance is obtained prior to travelling.
What We Provide
Your booking facilities will specify inclusions and facilities at the camping or glamping site. These vary between sites but the following is applicable to all sites:
The provision of any facilities is at our complete discretion; whilst we will use our best endeavours to provide such facilities as advertised, we reserve the right to substitute them or to not provide them. No refund or compensation will be provided unless you have been charged specifically for that facility on your invoice.
We will use our best endeavours to ensure any facilities, where provided, are clean, functional and suitable for their purpose, and are of a standard and quality that could be reasonably expected from a facility that is portable, temporary and usually field-based, and subject to the temperament of the weather.
Without limiting the generality of the above:
a) Wi-Fi access. You agree to use any Wi-Fi access where available responsibly and will not use it for illegal purposes, including, but not limited to, activities that may infringe copyright or other intellectual property rights. You acknowledge that the download and upload speed may vary from time to time due to network conditions, and that there is no guarantee of a minimum download or upload speed. Except where the Wi-Fi access is down for an extended period of time (i.e. more than 24 hours), we will not provide any refund of any amount paid to use the WIFI access (if a charge has been made).
b) Power-point outlet. You acknowledge that any powerpoint provided (where available) may be powered by a field-based portable generator and you use it at your own risk. They are generally suitable to power low power items only (e.g. charger for mobile phones, cameras). To the extent permissible by law, we disclaim all liability in connection with the use of the power-point outlet.
c) Toilets and Showers. Except where you are unable to use any of our toilets and showers for more than 24 hours due to them not being in working conditions, we will not provide any refund. If a refund is justifiable in the circumstance, we will determine the amount of the refund at our sole discretion.
Building Work
From time to time, renovation or refurbishment and its associated noise are unavoidable at an accommodation site. Often we do receive advance notice of when it will begin, in which case you will be informed prior to making your booking or within a reasonable time of us being notified. If in any case you have not been informed, and we consider the work will have a significant effect on your stay, we will then review the option of partial or full refund.
Reduced mobility or disability
Please be aware that the nature of camping and glamping sites may reduce accessibility for wheelchair users or those with reduced mobility. Please contact our customer services team to discuss further.
Your Responsibility
You agree that you are bound by any restrictions or rules that may apply to your chosen room type. These rules are generally specified on our website as part of the event / festival description or as part of the description of each particular room type. You must comply with the direction of our staff regarding the application of these rules and anything in connection with your room or your stay with us. Failure to comply with our reasonable direction may result in us asking you to leave our site.
You agree to use the room and our facilities responsibly.
You agree to behave in a civilised manner while you are on our site. We do not tolerate any abuse to fellow guests or staff. Any behaviour contrary to good morals and public order may result in us asking you to leave our site immediately.
If we ask you to leave our site, you agree that we will not provide any compensation and that there will be no reimbursement for any amount that you have paid.
You acknowledge that these terms and conditions apply to all persons (adult and children) covered by your booking or accompanying you. You are completely responsible for their actions and it is your duty to inform them of rules that are applicable to them.
Liability
You are solely responsible for the safety and protection of your personal belongings. Valuable items must not be kept in your room. We disclaim all liabilities for loss or damage or any personal items for whatever reasons.
We are not liable to you for any event beyond our reasonable control, an event of a force majeure, actions of third parties, nor for any loss of profit or other indirect or consequential loss or damage. In any event, our total liability to you arising out of or in connection with this agreement must not exceed 70% of the monies that you have paid to us at the date any claim arises (the balance being retained to cover expenses already incurred by us). Nothing in this clause, however, restricts our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence.
Warranty
You must ensure your actions or omissions do not give rise to any loss or injury or breach of legal duty to members of the public. You agree to indemnify us and to keep us indemnified fully against all losses, actions, claims, proceedings, costs and damages and all legal costs or other expenses arising out of, or in connection with, any breach by you or your invitees of this duty.

Termination
Without prejudice to any other right or remedies, either of us may terminate this agreement at any time by notice in writing to the other if:

b) The other party becomes insolvent and being a company an order is made or a resolution is passed for the winding up of the other party (other than voluntary for the purpose of solvent amalgamation or reconstruction) or if an administrator, administrative receiver or receiver is appointed in respect of the whole or any part of the other’s assets or business; or
c) The other being an individual suffers a bankruptcy order to be made against him or makes any composition with its or his creditors or takes or suffers any similar or analogous action.
Passports, Visas and Health
We can provide general information about the passport and visa requirements for your trip, but this is for guidance only and it remains your responsibility to check the requirements before you travel. Your specific passport and visa requirements, and other immigration requirements are your responsibility and you should confirm these with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates. We do not accept any responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with any passport, visa, health or immigration requirements. Most countries now require passports to be valid for at least 6 months after your return date. We can provide general information about any health formalities required for your trip but you should check with your own doctor for your specific circumstances.

If you have a problem whilst on holiday, this must be reported to us immediately.
If you are not able to resolve the situation to your satisfaction you should report the complaint in writing to our head office no later than 28 days after the completion of the holiday quoting your booking number. No complaints or claims can be considered after that date. Please note that post-holiday claims can be made only directly to us and not to one of our suppliers.
If you fail to follow this procedure there will be less opportunity to investigate and rectify your complaint. The amount of compensation you may be entitled to may be reduced or you may not receive any at all depending upon the circumstances.
