Knipoch Hotel - Luxury Hotel Oban
BOOKING TERMS
To make a reservation you must:
All our rates include VAT on the current rate at the time of booking and are subject to change without notice.
ADVANCE PURCHASE BOOKINGS (APB)
Our advance purchase rate offers the best value for money, the main reason for this is that you will pay the full amount when you book and it is non-refundable. It cannot be exchanged for other dates, accommodation, goods or services. So, if you cancel you will still be charged. For this, we strongly recommend taking out holiday insurance.
FLEXIBLE PACKAGE BOOKINGS (FPB)
A valid credit/debit card is required at the time of booking, in order to guarantee your reservation. Full payment is required 72 hours prior to your arrival via a secure paylink. If you have to cancel your reservation less than 72 hours prior to arrival, the full amount of the booking is non-refundable – therefore guests may wish to consider holiday insurance.
This is the standard policy, however, please be advised that the flexible package bookings can carry varying cancellation policies / payment terms, therefore, please ensure that you read your confirmation clearly.
PRICE MATCH PROMISE (PMP)
Price Match Promise is valid for 24 hours after you have booked with us. The product on a third-party site must be identical to the product on our site (comparable room, arrival date, length of stay, number of people etc), as well as quoted in Pounds Sterling and inclusive of all taxes. We’re unable to offer price matching if you’ve used a discount code, if you’ve used or are purchasing a voucher, if you’ve used a log-in to access rates or if a special rate is applicable when linked to another purchase. The product must be in stock and available to purchase and is non-transferable.
Price Match Promise applies to individual hotel bookings only. It is not applicable on dining, activities or other on-site facilities, nor is it available on group bookings contracted to over 3 rooms. This offer is subject to availability and can be withdrawn at any time. If you have pre-paid your reservation, any price match difference will be placed as a credit on your room account. No cash refund will be given.
SPECIAL PACKAGES
In addition to these terms and conditions mentioned above, some special packages (e.g. Christmas and New Year etc) may have additional terms attached to them, these will be displayed at the time of booking, and they’ll form part of your contract.
Even if we have given you confirmation, we still have the right to refuse or change any booking. On the rare occasion that this might happen, we would notify you as soon as possible.
You would then have the choice to accept our changes, change your booking to another hotel we operate, change to an alternative date, (although we can’t guarantee that the price will be the same, and if it’s more, you’ll need to make up the difference) or you can cancel your booking.
If you do cancel because we have made a change, you’ll be refunded any money you have paid in advance of your stay, although we would not be liable for anything beyond that without written confirmation prior to cancelling.
What is included in your package?
Your package may contain several included items, such as breakfast, dinner. These will be detailed at the time of booking, and you’ll need to make a reservation for these items (apart from breakfast) so you can be sure to take full advantage of what is included. There is no refund for unused components of your package.
GROUP BOOKINGS
A booking comprising of 4 or more rooms is deemed as a group booking, and group terms and conditions, and payment terms will automatically be applied. Please note that these supersede the individual terms, cancellation and payment policies. We cannot accept group bookings on a Room Only basis, and all groups are required to have daily breakfast and dinner on at least one night of their stay, unless otherwise agreed directly with the Hotel.
