BOOKING: If you are booking far enough in advance a written confirmation letter will be sent to you by e-mail or post. The confirmation letter is proof of your booking and should be shown to us on your arrival.
We are unable to accept bookings from guests attending events that will mean they wish to come and go at unsociable hours (e.g. ghost hunts).
We reserve the right to refuse any booking without needing to give a reason.

ALTERATION TO A BOOKING BY US: In the unlikely event of the need to amend your booking for reasons beyond our control, The Malthouse reserves the right to make alterations or cancellations to a booking.
In this case every attempt would be made to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion for everyone.

GROUPS & PARTIES: If you are booking more than one room we may require the names and addresses of all party members. To ensure a restful stay for every guest, we ask that guests keep to their own rooms and do not invite friends or fellow guests into their rooms.

BALANCE/EXTRAS: Please pay any outstanding balance upon arrival by cash or card.
We regret that we are unable to accept cheques or £50 notes.

DEPOSITS/PAYMENTS: Your deposit/payment has ensured that all the accommodation requested by you has been reserved for you for the total number of nights you have booked.
The booking has been accepted on the understanding that any balance owing will be paid in full. It is the responsibility of the person/s making the reservation that the full amount is paid for all rooms, their occupancy and the total number of nights booked.

CANCELLATION/CHANGES: Any deposit/payment will not be refunded; as it is likely that accommodation reserved for you has been refused to others for each of the nights you have booked.
If you cancel your booking we reserve the right to claim any balance owing to us.
If a change to your booking results in our being out of pocket, we may amend charges to recover any loss.
We cannot be held responsible for changes to or cancellation of your booking, for reasons that are beyond our control.
A telephone call to make cancellations/changes to reservations will only be accepted from the person who originally booked. All alterations to bookings must be confirmed in writing.
