Making changes to your booking

Need to switch to a different holiday or date? We’ll do our best to help, subject to availability. Please send your request in writing before your final balance is due. You can change your booking to the same holiday on a different date or to another holiday of equal value once.

If your change involves a new date or location, we’ll recalculate the cost based on current prices. Please note that previously applied promotions (except the Welcome Home code) can’t be carried over.

Changes are subject to:

• A £40 admin fee per person

• Any extra costs incurred by us or our suppliers

Our itineraries & entrance admissions

While we plan our itineraries well in advance, closer to the time, or even on the day, we may need to adjust the order of activities or swap days around, especially if the weather calls for it. Any changes are made with your enjoyment and safety in mind. In the winter months, the choice of walks each walking day is reduced from three to two on our UK country house Guided Walking holidays. Please refer to the individual trip notes online, and for details of any entry or admission fees that may be payable locally, where applicable.

If you request changes after your final balance is due, or if we can’t accommodate your request and you decide not to go ahead, it will be treated as a cancellation (see ‘Cancelling Your Booking’ on the next page for details).

Transferring your booking to someone else

You can transfer your booking to another person if:

• They meet all the holiday requirements

• You let us know at least 7 days before departure

• You pay any outstanding balance, a £40 transfer fee per person, and any extra costs associated with the name change

• The new traveller agrees to our booking conditions

Both you and the person taking over the booking will be responsible for any outstanding payments and charges. Some parts of your holiday may not be transferable and could incur cancellation fees.

Content & pricing

The information in this piece is correct at the time of print. However, occasionally changes and errors can occur, and we reserve the right to rectify these. Prices are subject to availability and can be changed or withdrawn at any time. Please refer to our website for full details of the holidays we provide before booking. All bookings will be subject to the booking conditions on our website. Please read them in full at hfholidays.co.uk/booking-conditions.

Member’s Price Pledge

For extra peace of mind, we offer our members a Price Pledge. This exclusive members-only benefit means you can be sure of the best price at the time of booking (excluding self-guided holidays, group and third-party bookings). In the event that the price of your holiday reduces after you have booked, we will automatically refund the difference by adjusting your holiday cost and reissuing your holiday confirmation before your departure.

Cancelling your booking

If you or someone in your group needs to cancel, please let us know in writing — either by email, letter, or by calling us on 020 3974 8865. To cancel by email, email cancellations@hfholidays.co.uk

Your cancellation will be effective from the date we receive your written notice.

If someone cancels from a group booking, it may affect the price for those still travelling.

Cancellation charges apply and are based on the full holiday cost. These charges apply to both individual and group bookings. See our website for details.

If we ever need to cancel your holiday, you’ll have the option to:

• Choose an alternative holiday (we’ll refund the difference if it’s cheaper), or

• Cancel and receive a full refund

We won’t cancel your holiday after the balance due date unless it’s due to unforeseen circumstances, non-payment, or if the minimum number of guests hasn’t been reached.

Filming and photography

Occasionally, we may take photos or film at our country houses for promotional use. If filming is planned, we’ll let you know at check-in and during the welcome talk. We’ll make sure it doesn’t affect your holiday — and if you’d prefer not to be involved, just avoid the filming areas.
