In the unlikely event that we need to cancel your arrangements, we will inform you as soon as possible.

​

3.3 Inclement Weather
In the event of very poor weather, we reserve the right to cancel the day's booking and may not be in a position to reschedule. This falls under force majeure and is considered outside our control.
