The Dolphin Hotel Exmouth Ltd, hereafter called (the hotel), enters into a contract, (whether verbal or written) to supply goods and/or services to you, (the customer) for the price quoted.
Reservation/bookings are only accepted with the payment of a deposit, (by cash, cheque or credit card) unless a properly established credit account is duly authorized and in place. Balance of the bookings must be paid on arrival.
The bedroom tariff is clearly displayed at reception, on our internet site and in various trade magazines, tourist information offices and holiday journals, however, this tariff may change from time to time and it is for the customer to be aware of these changes.
the hotel requires a non-refundable deposit of the first night's stay per person, this may vary according to the duration of the reservation, and this sum will be forfeited in the event of a cancellation or a 'no-show'.
In the event of a 'no-show' or a cancellation with less than 48hours the hotel reserves the right to demand full payment for all reservations, for a minimum of one night.
Telephone bookings usually result in taking a customer's credit/debit card details and taking a minimum deposit at the time of booking. Should 'the customer' fail to show, or check out without making full payment, or be found to have credited items to their room account - such items that have failed to 'catch up' with the final bill at the time of check out, (whosever may be responsible) these items will be deducted as 'Customer Not Present' from the customer's respective card at the subsequent time. The customer will be notified by post and will be sent the PDQ receipt. In the event of a deposit being made by cheque, or in the event of booking being charged to an account, any subsequent billing will be sent through the post and payment will be expected by return, or within 28 days.
Double/Twin rooms are often let for single occupancy. This is a concessionary arrangement and carries an element of trust, in the event that additional persons are found to have occupied these rooms, we reserve the right to charge in full for double occupancy.
In the event of damage, either accidentally or wilful, the hotel reserves the right to pass-on the cost of rectifying any such damage in full, (this includes cigarette burns, vomit, food stains, bed wetting or pet damage); in addition to the above, the hotel will also charge in full for any lost room nights resulting from such incidents. These charges will be taken from the customer's credit/debit card as 'Customer Not Present' and the customer will be informed by post.
