These Booking Conditions incorporate the Site Rules, the Keeping Safe on Site terms, and any other document referred to within them such as Countryside Code shall apply to each booking you make and shall form the basis of your contract with Cotswold View Caravan and Camping Site  (“we” “us” and “our”). Please read them carefully as they set out our respective rights and obligations. References to "you" and "your" and “they” in these Booking Conditions mean you (the person named on the booking confirmation), anyone who is added or substituted at a later date, and all members of your party (including children and any day visitors). You must ensure that all members of your party are aware of, and accept all of this agreement. Our agreement continues until the last member of your party has left the site, including any extension to your stay and for such time afterwards as may be necessary. By making a booking (including a ‘multiple booking’), the first named person on the booking agrees on behalf of all persons detailed on the booking that:

 

1. ​they have read these Booking Conditions and has the authority to and does agree to be bound by them;

2. ​they consent to our use of personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and are authorised on behalf of all persons named on the booking to disclose their personal details to us.

3. they are over 18 years of age and where placing an order for services with age restrictions declares that they, and all members of the party are of the appropriate age to purchase those services;

4. they accept financial responsibility for payment of the booking on behalf of all persons detailed on the booking.

 

If you accept these Booking Conditions, the Site Rules and the Keeping Safe on Site, please tick the appropriate box as part of the site booking process via the website. When booking via a member of our team in the office by phone or email, or directly with site staff you must accept these Booking Conditions as part of the booking process. If you refuse to accept these Booking Conditions when placing a booking on any of our booking channels, you will not be able to make a booking. These ‘Booking Conditions’ are available on our website and available at time of booking. If you have any queries about the policy, please contact us. This policy may be updated and/or amended at any time by us. The most recent edition will be on display on our website. 

 

1. We ask that our guests follow the Countryside Code as well as the conditions set out below and our Site Rules, displayed in our Tourist Information Centre, to ensure that everyone has an enjoyable stay with us.

​

2. We will do our utmost to accommodate all special pitch and booking requests. A £5.00 surcharge applies to select your own pitch/pod. Should we be unable to for fill your ‘Pick a Pitch’ or ‘Pick a Pod’ request you will be notified and offered the choice of an alternative pitch. Please note, this is NOT considered as a cancellation of the holiday by us (the company) as we are unable to guarantee you a specific pitch or location because of unforeseen events that may arise beyond our control. For example, this could include but is not limited to, essential pitch maintenance i.e., electrical, water or drainage issue and adverse weather. 

 

3. Unfortunately, we are unable to cater for single sex parties, Hen or stag parties and groups of teenagers or young adults who are not accompanied by a fully responsible parent or legal guardian (over the age of 18) who is staying on site. 

 

4. Please note that some park facilities may be limited to High Season.

 

5. We are happy to accept bookings for any number of nights except during High Season weekends, when the minimum booking is 2 nights, or during Bank Holiday weekends, when the minimum booking is 3 nights. At the point of booking, availability will be limited within the calendar to reflect the maximum stay duration. If you wish to stay longer, this must be pre-approved over the phone, in person, or by email before the booking is permitted. Extending a booking will depend on availability at the time. We ask that full payment to be made for your stay with us at least 28 days prior to the arrival date; otherwise, we cannot guarantee to hold your pitch. Full payment for your stay in our camping pods is required at the time of booking. If the pitch or camping pod is vacated early, cancelled, or the booking changes, please see our holiday cancellation policy.

​

6. Whilst staying on site any extensions to a booking must be arranged with reception and are subject to availability and possible pitch relocation as there is no guarantee that you can extend your stay on a pitch beyond the scheduled day of departure. Please do not book extra nights online as this creates a new booking and whilst there may be availability on site, it does not guarantee that you can stay longer on the pitch allocated to your original booking. 

 

7. Multiple bookings: We have a 5-pitch limit on those wanting to pitch together (unless permitted entirely at the discretion of management and must be pre-approved over the telephone or in person or by email before the booking is permitted). Please note that group bookings made directly through our online booking system which by-pass pre-approval may be rejected. Should you make a single booking but fail to identify yourself as a group and we notice an unauthorised large gathering of people, we will ask you to leave immediately without providing a refund. It is in everyone's best interest to first discuss your booking. We want to be hospitable where possible so please work with us. 

​

8. By making a booking or “multiple booking” at Cotswold View, you are confirming that everyone in your group has read and agreed to abide by our booking conditions and site rules. If the group fails to adhere to our booking conditions and site rules, we reserve the right to ask the entire group to leave with no refunds provided.

​

9. To gain access to the site you must provide your vehicle registration number upon arrival as we use ANPR barrier system. One vehicle is included in your unit. Additional vehicles must be booked and paid in advance prior to arrival. Details of your pitch location will be sent to you by email prior to arrival. Pitches are available from 12:30pm and camping pods from 2:00pm and we accept arrivals up to 8:00pm in High Season and 6:00pm all other times. There are security gates to restrict access to and disturbance on the park overnight. Quiet hours are between 11:00pm and 7:00am. 24hour CCTV recording is in operation at the farm for both for the safety of our guests and staff.

​

10. All booking must depart before 12:00pm (midday). Late departures are both subject to availability and management discretion, please check with a member of staff in Reception. Be aware that charges may apply if staying beyond 12 o’clock/midday.

​

11. By the very nature of our lovely woodland surroundings, we ask that great care is taken at all times, especially the proper supervision of children and pets, so that they are not a nuisance or danger to themselves or others. For your own enjoyment and safety, we insist that the Site Rules are strictly adhered to. If any accidents requiring medical attention or involving damage to property occur within the boundaries of the site, please report full details to the management prior to your departure.

​

12. All caravans and vehicles parked, stored and moved on the site are done so at the owner’s risk and the company will not accept any liability for loss or damage to the property, or injury to the owner and his party unless the company is found to be negligent. Owners are required to comply with the Road Traffic Act while on the Park, and keep their vehicles and caravans fully insured against fire, theft and third-party liability at all times during the duration of their stay. Vehicle speeds should not exceed 5mph (equivalent to a vehicle being in first gear or a person moving at a walking pace). Unfortunately, commercial vehicles (i.e. vans) are not permitted on the Park except by prior arrangement. This is a touring caravan and camping park, we cannot accommodate those using caravans, motor homes or tents for residential or employment purposes.

 

13. Deposit: Payment in full is required at the time of booking for all 1 or 2 night bookings and 3 night bookings at Bank Holidays to guarantee your pitch. For longer bookings, a deposit of £50.00 per pitch will be applied against your stay at the Park but will not be refunded in the event of cancellation. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee to hold your pitch unless we receive payment of the balance at least 28 days prior to your arrival date. If the balance is not paid in time, we are entitled to cancel your holiday booking and retain your deposit. For camping pods where payment is made in full at the time of booking no deposit applies.

​

14. Holiday Cancellation Policy:

Booking Changes. You can amend your booking online (for free) or over the phone (for a £10.00 administration fee per pitch) up to 14 days before your arrival date, subject to any cost differences. If the cost of your booking remains the same or increases, you will be able to make changes; otherwise, no changes can be made to the booking. The administration fee will be waived if the booking duration is extended, subject to availability at the time. If you decide to change your arrival date, the cancellation terms will apply in the same way that they did for your initial arrival date.
