More than 57 days before travel date - loss of deposit and administrative fees.
Please note that any monies paid to us prior to your travel date (including overpayments) may be non-refundable and/or subject to charges.
It is not possible to change your travel dates to more than three months difference to your original date without incurring cancellation charges.
If you only cancel part of your booking or decrease the number of people in the party, then any relevant refund will only be paid once the entire booking has been recalculated and any changes in price taken into account. No refunds will be made whilst there is still a remaining balance to be paid.
We will endeavour to accommodate any reasonable request to change your booking. Where your travel arrangements depend on a certain number of people and your change involves a change to the number of people in your party the price for the entire booking will be recalculated on the basis of the new party size.
By making a monetary payment, this establishes a contract with us, supported by our terms and conditions. We strongly advise that you thoroughly read through our terms and conditions to understand the booking process and any cancellation terms before making any payments to us.
Your total number of passengers need to include everyone who is travelling on your booking. This needs to include the hen/stag or any special offers such as free spaces.
If full payment is not made by the stated due date daily £25.00 late payment fees will be added to your booking. Changes to your booking must be confirmed in writing by the lead passenger to your event organiser; no changes can be made within 56 days of travel.

Single beds are requested for all of our bookings; however, they are not guaranteed. Bookings will be subject to availability, and based on double, single, or pull-out sofa beds unless a higher amount is paid to avoid this.
Full packages including accommodation cannot be reduced to just activities, without being subject to additional fees or cancellation charges.
Accommodation security deposits are required to be paid in all destinations, the amounts may vary, please get in touch in advance if you require to know the amount in advance for your accommodation selection.
Please note that if you change the date of your reservation, these terms and conditions apply based on your original travel date, this may include payment deadlines or cancellation charges. If you are unsure, please check with your booking agent before making a change to your booking.
If a booking is paid for using a credit note, it cannot be cancelled in exchange for monetary reimbursement. If the booking is cancelled by DesignaVenture or the party, depending on circumstances a new credit note will be provided, or the balance will be lost.
If for any reason the client needs to change location or date of their event a £100.00 administration fee will be charged.
Refund charges are applicable at £10 per transaction.
All payments made in respect of flight bookings are non-refundable at any time.
Where possible we will endeavour to accommodate any reasonable request to change your booking. Where your travel arrangements depend on a certain number of people and your change involves a change to the number of people in your party the price for the entire booking will be recalculated on the basis of the new party size. Where we are not able, at our discretion, to help you in respect of your request to change your booking and you are not prepared to proceed with your travel arrangements as booked this will be treated as a cancellation and you will have to pay the cancellation charges set out above.
By DesignaVenture LTD
Although it is unlikely that we will need to make changes or cancellations we reserve the right to do so at any time. Most of these changes will be minor and due to circumstances beyond our control. We shall inform you of such changes as soon as possible and offer an alternative of a comparable standard, if available. We regret we cannot pay any expenses, costs or losses incurred by you as a result of any change or cancellation. Very rarely, we may be forced by "force majeure" to change or terminate any part or all of your booking either immediately before or after departure. If this situation does occur, we will not make any refunds unless we obtain refunds from our suppliers, nor can we pay any compensation or meet any costs or expenses you incur as a result.
We reserve the right at any time to cancel or change any of the facilities, services or prices, including, accommodation, activities, restaurants, entertainment venues and to substitute alternative arrangements of comparable monetary value without compensation and accept no liability for loss of enjoyment as a result of these changes.
Most accommodation that we use is based on multiple occupancy, unless otherwise stated. However, subject to changes in numbers and most suitable configurations, we reserve the right to move members of the same sex to different room configurations to make the best use of available accommodation.
Should any amendments or rearrangements need to be made during your weekend as a result of not checking your booking we will endeavour to assist you in the matter and where possible provide alternatives (subject to availability). Please be aware that any changes made as a result of this will incur a cost of £40.00 administration fee along with any further fees incurred by DesignaVenture Ltd.
Except where otherwise expressly stated in these booking conditions, we regret we cannot accept liability or pay compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected by or you otherwise suffer any damage or loss as a result of "force majeure". In these booking conditions, "force majeure" means any event, which we or the supplier of the service(s) in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, fire and all similar events outside our control.
All timings for any events or activities will be provided in your Welcome Pack, this will be uploaded to your online portal before your weekend. It is your responsibility to ensure you take the Welcome Pack on your weekend as this includes all relevant information for your booking. Please do ensure that you arrive on time.
You are responsible for any damage you cause to the accommodation or other property of our suppliers.
Please also note our suppliers have the right to refuse entry, use of their equipment or use of their accommodation should you turn up intoxicated, under the influence, or behaving badly, you will not be refunded for loss of part or the whole of your package.
Please inform us prior to your cut-off date if yourself or any member of your group have any medical conditions which we need to be made aware of that may affect any elements of your booking. We will not be liable for any loss of enjoyment or inability to participate in activities if we have not been made aware and refunds will not be given.
When you book with us, you accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you or any member of your party. Full payment for any such damage or loss must be paid direct at the time to the accommodation owner or manager or other supplier. If you fail to do so, you will be responsible for meeting any claims subsequently made against us (together with your own and the other party's legal costs) as a result of your actions.
We expect our clients to have consideration for other people. If, in our reasonable opinion, or in the opinion of any other person in authority, you or any member of your party behaves in such a way as to cause or be likely to cause danger, upset or distress to any third party or damage to property, we are entitled, without your prior notice, to terminate the booking of the person(s) concerned. In this situation, the person(s) concerned will be required to leave the accommodation or other service. We will have no further responsibility toward such person(s) including any return travel arrangements.
No refunds will be made, and we will not pay any expenses or costs incurred as a result of the termination.
In the unlikely event that you are dissatisfied with any services provided by us or our representatives you must immediately inform the relevant supplier. Failure to notify the supplier immediately whilst on your trip may deprive us/them of the opportunity to rectify the complaint whilst you are away, and this may affect your rights under this contract.
If you have a complaint regarding any element of your booking you must notify us in writing within 3 working days of return. If a complaint arises during your weekend, you must telephone our Emergency Contact Number and speak with an DesignaVenture Representative. If you fail to call and report any such incidents or issues, we will not consider ourselves to be liable for those complaints. We will acknowledge receipt of your correspondence and we will respond to all complaints in written format within 28 days. Please rest assured we will do our best to resolve your case more swiftly than this. No complaint will be accepted after 28 days of your return and you will be deemed to have been fully satisfied with all parts of the booking made by us.
Please note that you may not take any action or other step(s) with a potentially adverse, negative or prejudicial impact on us and/or our reputation, whether via social or any other media and/or in any other form, in respect of any complaint (substantiated or otherwise) or the subject matter thereof: (i) if such complaint is satisfactorily resolved or deemed to be resolved under and in accordance with our internal Complaints Procedure or otherwise resolved to your communicated satisfaction; or (ii) without first following our internal Complaints Procedure to its conclusion, and we reserve our legal entitlement to exercise any and all rights and remedies available to us in respect of any failure by you to do so (and/or in respect of any unsubstantiated complaint).
If you make an unjustified payment charge-back, then you will be liable to pay us within 7 days of our request:
If you dispute a payment with your bank, that is intended to reach us, a charge of £25 per transaction will be charged. Payments may appear under the name of 'DesignaVenture' on your statement.
In the event of any disputes or claims under this contract, all matters will fall under United Kingdom jurisdiction and should legal proceedings be necessary, all legal matters will be dealt with through United Kingdom courts.
