TERMS & CONDITIONS

Seaview Tipis – Terms & Conditions 2026

Bookings are subject to the following Terms & Conditions.

1. Contract

A contract between you (“the Guest”) and Seaview Tipis (“the Owner”) comes into existence once payment has been received and a booking confirmation has been issued.

The person making the booking is responsible for ensuring that all members of their party accept and comply with these Terms & Conditions. Failure to disclose relevant information or comply with these Terms may result in termination of the contract without refund.

2. Payment Terms

  • A 50% non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking to secure your stay.

  • The remaining balance is due 30 days prior to arrival.

  • Bookings made within 30 days of arrival must be paid in full at the time of booking.

  • Failure to pay the balance by the due date may result in cancellation of the booking without refund of the deposit.

3. Cancellations & Amendments

3.1 Guest Cancellations

All cancellations must be made in writing via email to: seaviewtipis@gmail.com

As Seaview Tipis operates on a short July–August season, each booking forms a significant part of our annual income. Our cancellation terms reflect this.

  • If cancelled more than 30 days before arrival, the 50% deposit will be retained.

  • If cancelled within 30 days of arrival, the full booking amount remains payable and is non-refundable.

  • No refunds will be given for early departures or no-shows.

We strongly recommend that guests take out comprehensive travel insurance to cover cancellation or unforeseen circumstances.

3.2 Date Changes

One date amendment may be requested more than 30 days before arrival, subject to availability. Amendments within 30 days of arrival will be treated as a cancellation.

4. Cancellation by the Owner

Your booking will not be cancelled by us except in exceptional circumstances beyond our control (including but not limited to extreme weather, safety concerns, or force majeure).

In the event we must cancel your stay, all monies paid will be refunded in full. Our liability will be limited to payments received.

If wind speeds exceed 50mph and we deem the tipis unsafe to occupy, we reserve the right to close the site in line with our wind management plan. In such cases, full refunds will be issued.

 

5. Nature & Environment

Seaview Tipis is an eco glamping site located in a natural coastal environment.
