If we have not heard back from you within 48 hours we will consider the booking cancelled at no charge by you.

14. Outbookings: Like all accommodation providers there are odd instances beyond our control that we may have to relocate your booking. In this instance we will suggest accommodation at a similar rate, (not standard), that you can agree to or you can cancel your booking with us at no charge. We will pay the accommodation provider directly while you pay the confirmed room rate with us. We will also pay for transportation from our guest house to the alternative provider we have suggested. If you would like to find other accommodation yourself we will not pay for transportation between accommodation providers. This will complete the contract between The Walton and you the booker.
