Website Details
We make every effort to ensure that the information provided is presented accurately on our website, in our brochures and in any other promotional material we may use. However, details and prices may be subject to change and errors do occasionally occur, so you must check all the details and arrangements with us at the time of booking. Sometimes changes to services or facilities at a property may occur after the booking has been made and in this instance we will let you know as soon as possible. Unfortunately we cannot accept responsibility for any inaccurate or misleading information given regarding the property or its facilities.
Liability
We shall have no liability for any death or personal injury unless this results from The Ferry House’s negligence or its employees (providing they were at the time acting in the course of their employment). In addition, we accept no responsibility for the safety of, or the loss or damage to the tenants’ possessions whilst on the property or land. Exception to this is if damage or loss is caused by negligence of The Ferry House or its employees.

If you have any special needs, such as reduced mobility, please let us know at the time of booking so we can advise you on suitable properties.
Dogs
Up to two well trained dogs are permitted with our prior consent in Rooms 7 to 10 and must be confirmed in writing to you. If you do not inform us prior to your stay that a dog is staying then you will have this amount deducted from your security deposit. If you have mistakenly booked a non-dog room and haven’t let us know you are bringing your dog, then we may not have a dog-friendly room available. A charge of £20 per stay will be made per dog, per stay. Dogs are not permitted on furniture and we cannot accept responsibility for their safety. Throws and decorative cushions will be removed from the room for the comfort of future guests who may have fur allergies. Under no circumstances should the dog be left unattended in the room without a suitable crate/provisions made. Please note if you do not clean up after your dog a charge of £20-£50 will be made if we have to clear up after your check out. This relates to dog mess on the premises, excessive mud or excessive fur that demonstrates that dogs have been allowed on the furniture. Dogs must be kept on leads on the premises and not allowed to upset the local wildlife, waterfowl or farm animals. Please remember land owners are within the law to shoot loose dogs that are chasing their animals – hence this rule is strictly in place for your own animal’s safety. Please only walk on public footpaths, and do not trespass at any time on private land. We will happily supply you with information on wonderful local walks. If walking near the Mocketts Farm Cottages, the reservoir to the side/rear of the cottages is strictly no access at any time under any circumstances as this is privately owned and protected land, and is monitored 24/7.

If you find any discrepancies with the state of the property please notify us as soon as possible.

Charges will be deducted from your card on file. We are not responsible for any lost property left behind in our Accommodation, if we find items left behind we can return them to you at your own risk, you would be required to arrange a courier for collection.
