Booking
These Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) are governed by UK Law and apply to all bookings made whether by using our online booking system (via freetobook.com), telephone, e-mail, letter or in person. Any booking made, whether on-line, verbal or in writing, becomes a legally binding contract once a confirmation is received by the booking party from Oakfield B&B, either via e-mail (including freetobook.com confirmations), verbal or in writing (if time permits). The booking party must be able to enter into a legally binding contract and be over 18 years of age to make a booking. By making a booking the party is deemed to have accepted these T&Cs.
When accommodation is reserved in advance by one person on behalf of another, or for a group of people, the person making the booking is responsible for adhering to the booking terms and conditions and accepts financial responsibility in the event of a cancellation, unless the other parties make payment in advance.
Acceptance of Booking:
A booking whether via the website, e-mail, letter or by telephone, must be accompanied by a non-refundable deposit equivalent to the cost of the first night’s accommodation.
If paying by cheque the bookings will be held provisionally for 5 days to allow time for the deposit to arrive.
The booking is complete once the booking party has received written (if time permits), or verbal confirmation, from Oakfield B&B (the Confirmation of Booking) and following receipt of the agreed deposit.
Cancellations and Refunds:
Prior to arrival:
In the event of any cancellation, or part cancellation, or failure to arrive by any, or all, of the guests, on the agreed date, for whatever reason including illness, a cancellation charge may be levied.
Levies are as follows:
For all bookings, direct or through online travel agents (OTAs), there is a non-refundable deposit of the first night’s stay.
The cancellation charges will be levied against any outstanding balances.
For direct bookings only, in the event of cancelled rooms being wholly, or partially, re-let then the levied cancellation charge will be wholly, or partially, refunded.
If only part of the booking is cancelled then the cancellation charge will be levied against the length of stay cancelled from the original booking. For direct bookings only, in the event of the rooms being wholly, or partially, re-let then the levied cancellation charge will be wholly, or partially, refunded.
After arrival:
If part of the booking is cancelled, or amended, without informing Oakfield B&B prior to arrival, i.e. after arrival, then the full amount of the original booking will be due. For direct bookings only, in the event of cancelled rooms being wholly, or partially, re-let then the levied cancellation charge will be wholly, or partially, refunded.
Amendments:
To amend a booking call Oakfield B&B (+44 (0) 1495 792829) as soon as possible. Please read the ‘cancellations and refunds’ policy for possible charges. Deposits are non-refundable but may be carried forward at the proprietor’s discretion.
Non-availability:
Oakfield B&B would only cancel your booking if the accommodation, or allocated room, was unavailable for reasons beyond our control. Oakfield B&B would attempt to offer an alternative room, or dates. However, if this is not possible, or acceptable, to the booking party, then all monies paid already would be refunded. Oakfield B&Bs liability would not extend beyond the refund.
Insurance:
It is strongly recommended that the booking party/guest takes out Travel Insurance to cover cancellation charges and loss or damage to baggage, personal effects and money.

Conditions of Stay
Smoking:
To comply with UK Legislation Oakfield B&B operates a NO SMOKING policy within all interior areas of the property, including guest bedrooms, bathrooms, public areas and corridors. In addition, guests are not permitted to use e-cigarettes or vaporisers within the aforementioned areas. Oakfield B&B reserves the right to terminate a booking without notice and without refund for guests who do not comply with the NO SMOKING policy.
If this situation occurs the guest(s) will be required to pay the tariff of the full booking and may have up to £150.00 added to their bill to cover the costs of cleaning all soft furnishings and carpets to remove the odour of tobacco.
Damage and Nuisance:
Consider the comfort of other guests. Oakfield B&B reserves the right to terminate any booking without notice and without refund where members of the booking party engage in unacceptable behaviour that causes nuisance or disturbance to other parties. If this situation occurs the booking party will be required to pay in full all monies owed, including payment for any damage, loss of income, extra cleaning or room closure caused by the nuisance. If a room requires quarantine because of an incident then the booking party is required to pay two thirds of the room tariff for the duration of the closure.
The booking party is responsible and liable for any breakages or damage caused to the accommodation or car park by the party during the stay. If the damage is not reported by the time of departure then the party may be invoiced for any repairs to make good the damage.
Faults and Complaints:
Oakfield B&B takes every care to prepare the property to a standard whereby guests will enjoy their stay. Rooms are serviced daily.
