Payments From Outside the UK
In our experience, the easiest way to pay for your holiday is to transfer funds electronically from your bank to ours. On booking, we will provide you with our bank details and international codes. If you prefer, you can pay by international money order or a bankers draft in UK pounds. All payments will
be receipted by return.
Non-payment
Non-payment of any deposits or balances by due dates
may be deemed by us to be a cancellation of the
booking by you
