HOTEL T&Cs
ADVANCED PURCHASE RATE
Advance Purchase Rates are available 7 days or more before the date of arrival and are fully prepaid at time of Booking. Advance Purchase Rates are non-refundable and non-transferable. The credit/debit card used to book the Advance Purchase Rate must be presented to Reception on arrival at the Hotel.
ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE
Your room will be ready from 3pm of the day of arrival. Should you arrive early you are welcome to use the Hotel’s facilities and we will do our best to get your room ready as soon as possible. In the interests of security and to prevent fraud, at the time of check-in, guests may be required to confirm their identity by providing their booking reference and their passport, identity card or driving licence. On your day of departure, use of your room is available until 11am unless otherwise arranged with Reception.
BEST AVAILABLE RATES
To offer our guests the best available price on any given day of the year, we operate a dynamic pricing management system that enables us to guarantee you the best quote for the period of your stay at the time of your enquiry.
BOOKING AGREEMENT
Upon booking, a non-refundable deposit of 25% of your stay is payable, unless it is for an Advance Purchase Rate which is payable in full. This will secure your reservation. The balance is due 28 days before your arrival and will be deducted from the credit card used for the deposit. Please have the card that you used for the reservation payment with you. Should you need to cancel your reservation please email Reservations at bookings@atltantichousepolzeath.co.uk.
During the peak season times we only accept a minimum two-night stays at weekends and three-night stays over bank holiday weekends. One of these nights will be on a Dinner, Bed & Breakfast basis. If your booking includes dinner, a preferred dinner time is allocated automatically. If you have a preference, please contact the Hotel to confirm. We cannot guarantee a table in the restaurant in the evening for guests on bed and breakfast terms and you should contact Reception or the Hotel Restaurant direct to make a reservation. Please note that the Dinner Bed & Breakfast price being offered cannot be guaranteed should you not complete your Booking at this stage. Menus are subject to change and are provided for indicative purposes only.
Rates which include breakfast offer a choice of cooked breakfast in The Atlantic Bar with tea or coffee, unless stated otherwise. Rates which include dinner offer a daily Table d’Hôte menu or an allowance can be allocated towards dining from the à la Carte menu. There is no refund for meals which are not taken, and lunch cannot replace dinner unless pre-agreed with Reception.
All rates featured on the Website or quoted by telephone or otherwise are offered subject to availability and we reserve the right to refuse any booking for good reason. All prices are subject to availability.
If, due to exceptional circumstances, we are forced to cut short your stay, we will reimburse you in full for nights not taken and make every effort to find you alternative accommodation. We cannot be held responsible for any further costs incurred by you as a result. For the avoidance of doubt, your booking price does not include any incidental charges which you may incur during your stay. Such charges will be payable by you on your departure and in the event that you fail to pay any such incidental charges you irrevocably authorise us to debit your credit or debit card the full amount of any shortfall. Any expenditure in The Atlantic Bar is payable direct and cannot be charged to your booking.
Failure to comply with any of the booking conditions may result in the party being asked to leave immediately. We reserve the right to refuse any bookings without explanation.
CANCELLATION POLICY
All cancellations must be confirmed via e-mail to bookings@atlantichousepolzeath.co.uk. If you do not receive an acknowledgement, please telephone Reception to ensure that your email has been received and noted. Without written notification that your cancellation is acknowledged by us, the full charge will be deducted.
There will be a refund less the 25% non-refundable deposit if the booking is cancelled more than 28 nights before the day of arrival. 50% of the whole payment will be retained if the booking is cancelled within 28 days of arrival, but more than 48 hours prior. The full charge for the whole booking will be retained if less than 48 hours’ notice is given for the cancellation. A refund will be made for any nights that are resold, less the non-refundable deposit. We reserve the right to utilise the PCI (Payment Credit Industry) transaction code from previous payments for any outstanding balance in the event of cancellation or non-attendance.
For group bookings of 4 rooms or more within the same party, the cancellation policy is extended to 42 days.
We recommend that you have adequate travel insurance in place to cover any unforeseen eventualities.
CAR PARKING
There is limited and free parking available at the front of the Hotel on a first come basis all year round. During the months of March to October, strict parking regulations are in force in Polzeath. You can park to the rear of the Hotel to unload on arrival.

CHILDREN & BABYSITTING SERVICE
A baby or child under the age of three can stay free of charge when sharing a room with one or two paying adults. Availability of suitable rooms is limited, and a portable bed or cot will be used.
