In the event of unforeseen circumstances we reserve the right to cancel your booking at any time up to your arrival date, by either telephone or in writing. In these circumstances a full refund of all monies paid will be made.

Inclement weather. All bookings are taken in good faith, but due to the nature of a tipi sometimes severe weather can make its use impossible, or at least very uncomfortable. This is particularly the case with continuous heavy rain or gale force winds. In this situation we will contact you, up to the evening before your scheduled arrival, by telephone or email with a view to discussing available options, or alternatives. Likewise, if you have any concerns with the prevailing weather conditions you are welcome to call us. In the first instance, if we agree that conditions are, or are likely to make your stay unpleasant, or dangerous we will offer alternative dates. If we are forced to cancel your booking, and we cannot agree a suitable alternativet we will refund all monies paid, but our liability will not exceed this amount.

Liability. The tipi is only for the use of the persons signing the booking in register.
