C) Please ensure all the information on the booking form is correct before agreeing to these terms and making payment.
D) If we are unable to accept your booking, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for your booking. This might be, for example, because our campsite or venue is already booked, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because we have identified an error in the price or description of your booking, because we are unable to meet a date you have specified, or because we consider your proposed booking may damage our reputation or image – we do not accept bookings from any hen parties, stag dos or other large groups and do not permit groups who are under 18 years of age.
