Whilst every care is taken to ensure that the details in this website, including any promotional emails, are correct at time of being published, we cannot accept responsibility for errors contained therein or results thereof. We are not responsible to you for unforeseen events or matters over which we have no control.

Lodge Descriptions

Trewince Ltd takes every care to ensure the accuracy of lodge descriptions. All information is given in good faith and believed to be correct at the time of printing.

All of the above are not permitted both inside the lodges and on site, due to insurance and Fire Safety Regulations. However, they are permitted in a designated area. Please ask reception for more information.

Pets

In some lodges, pets are accepted by arrangement only. A maximum of two dogs are welcome in lodges that accept pets provided that they are not left unattended in the lodge at any time or allowed on furniture or in the bedrooms. Please do not assume that because a lodge does not accept pets that there has not been a pet in the property previously.

We have towels for use in the leisure facilities which may be hired at a small cost. The towels provided in the lodge are for use in the lodge only.

Shortcomings

It is specifically agreed that failure by the hirer to notify the park representative of any complaint within this timescale will entitle Trewince Ltd to refuse to act on the complaint regardless of its merits.

Circumstances amounting to ‘force majeure’ include any event which the owner (s) could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid.
