In these General Terms and Conditions the term ‘tenant’ means: the person who enters into an agreement with Feather Down with respect to the lease/use of accommodation. The term ‘user’ (also referred to as guest) also means: the tenant and the persons specified by the tenant who (will) make use of the accommodation rented by the tenant.
1. Bookings
Feather Down only takes bookings for persons over 18 years old. Feather Down reserves the right to refuse a booking at any time – without giving reasons. Feather Down will confirm and invoice the booking to you by e-mail within 1 working day of receipt. The confirmation, including the invoice, must be checked for correctness immediately after receipt. Possible or alleged inaccuracies must always be made known by telephone or e-mail within 10 days after the date of the confirmation/invoice or in any case before the start of the stay. If you do not receive a written confirmation or invoice within 1 working day after booking, you must contact Feather Down. If, due to unseen circumstances, Feather Down must make a change to a booked reservation regarding location or the type and/or location of the accommodation, Feather Down can offer you a suitable alternative. Bookings made before 1 September with an arrival date in the following calendar year can be cancelled by Feather Down before 31 August if there is reason to do so due to new developments since the date of booking. If necessary, Feather Down will provide you with alternative locations for the chosen date or refund your deposit in full.

Price discounts and/or special offers can no longer be used after confirmation/invoice has been sent by Feather Down. All prices are inclusive of VAT, if applicable, unless stated otherwise.

Upon arrival, all guests are required to identify themselves at check-in. If guests are unable to show proof of identity, the farmer(s) may decide not to accommodate the guests. Upon arrival at the farm you will show your reservation ticket. The canvas hideaway is available from 4pm and we recommend you arrive between 4pm and 6pm to make the best of your experience. If you expect to arrive after 6pm due to unexpected circumstances, it is courteous to contact the farmer or host to inform them of your expected arrival time. If you arrive after 9pm, the farmer(s) will receive a fee, and you will be charged £30. After checking in, you are responsible to familiarise yourself with the indicated safety instructions.
Departure procedure:
On the day of departure, please check the welcome document for the check-out time of the particular farm location. The latest departure time would be 10:30am, this in connection with the cleaning of the tent. If this is not the case, the farmer(s) may also charge £30 extra.
* Exception: unless you have used the product “Late check-out on Sunday”. In that case, you have to leave the accommodation before 16.00 (4PM).
If something is not to your liking during your stay, always contact the farmer(s) on the spot first and after your stay with our call centre, so that we can come to an appropriate solution. Complaints should always be made in writing via our e-mail address info@featherdown.co.uk by the main booker within 1 month of your stay. See also point 17 in these General Terms and Conditions.

Violation of the Internal Regulations may result in removal from the farm, without restitution of all or part of the rent. If the accommodation is not left clean upon departure, the Farmer may charge £30 for cleaning costs. Feather Down reserves the right to make changes to the set-up and opening hours of the facilities and facilities on the farm.

In the event of force majeure, Feather Down will not be obliged to compensate any damage or costs, or to refund the rental price.
