Booking Conditions

� Once you have chosen a date we will provisionally hold the booking for 14 days without

obligation. After the 14 day period has passed the room will be released unless you confirm to

the contrary.

� To secure the date after this time we require a deposit of €600.00, which is credited to your

final account. A contract is then issued by the hotel before the actual wedding date.

� The hotel has the right to cancel a wedding where it has reason to believe it may prejudice

the reputation of the hotel through inappropriate or unacceptable behaviour.

� The hotel retains the right to cancel any wedding or event that is booked under false

pretences or through third parties.

� Should a confirmed booking with deposit subsequently cancel, the deposit will be refunded

only if that date is re-sold to a similar type function or if another date is booked instead.

� The account must be settled on departure. We are unable to give credit under any

circumstances.

� The final menus should be confirmed 14 days in advance and the final numbers should be

advised to the hotel 48 hours in advance - this number will be used for billing purposes.

Where numbers increase on the day without notice every effort will be made to

accommodate those guests. The greater number will then be used for billing purposes.

� No Food (other than the wedding cake) or beverages of any kind will be permitted to be taken

into the hotel by the patron or guests. This is in keeping with food hygiene laws.

� Music should stop at 2.00am sharp and the management reserves the right to advise on the

music being too loud.

� Residents Bar is opened until 3am. It is at the discretion of the Manager on Duty to have the

bar remain open later than this.

� As part of the Wedding Package there is a special reduced Accommodation Rate, this

applies to the first 10 rooms booked. Ten Booking Forms will be issued to you upon payment of

your deposit.

� On occasion some discount websites may show rooms available at a cheaper rate than our

wedding rate – your guests are welcome to book at these rates but we are unable to offer them

directly to you.

� Table plans must be submitted to the hotel via e-mail as a word document attachment no

later than 72 hours prior to the wedding date.
