Accommodation Booking Service
Brigantes Walking Holidays and Baggage Couriers operate the booking service. When accommodation is booked on your behalf we act only as your agent. Our responsibility ends when we have confirmed your reservations. Whilst we have made reasonable efforts to ensure and are happy that the establishments we promote provide an appropriate standard of service, inclusion in our guide does not constitute a recommendation. We are not involved in the day to day running of any of the establishments and are therefore not liable for the quality of service received. Any complaints must be addressed to the proprietors of the respective establishment. However, we are always pleased to hear about any establishment that fails to meet the required standard of service. Prices of accommodation are provided by the establishment and may vary from room to room by virtue of its' position, facilities and view. Prices quoted are per person and are (in most cases) for Bed & Breakfast only. Evening meals and packed lunches are not normally included.
It may not always be possible to book large parties into one establishment and it may therefore become necessary to spilt groups. You are more likely to secure your first choice of accommodation if you avoid Bank Holidays or/and start your walk mid-week.
We are normally able to fulfill a booking service order within 3 working days. If we cannot undertake the work within this time we will tell you immediately. We will also give you the expected time when we would hope to have completed the booking service order and allow you to cancel if you wish.
