Kerthen Gar is the trading name of the provider of this holiday. By making a holiday booking you accept the following Terms & Conditions:
The Greener Camping Club
To comply with countryside planning policy, we operate as a Greener Camping Club members-only campsite. When you book your stay, at least one guest needs to be enrolled as a member of the Club. Membership costs £12 annually and gives you access to over 180 of the greenest campsites in the UK. Since its foundation in 2015, every year at least 10% of Club membership revenue is invested in environmental projects at its campsites. This includes tree and hedge planting, wildflower meadow creation and the provision of nesting boxes and bat boxes.
Payment
We request full payment on booking.
Cancellation by You
If you cancel your holiday six weeks or more before your arrival date we will refund 50% of your booking (the Greener Camping Club membership fee is not refundable). If you cancel your holiday less than six weeks before your arrival date your booking will not be refundable.
Cancellation by Us
Kerthen Gar reserves the right to cancel a camping or glamping holiday at short notice if we are unable to provide a safe glamping accommodation or camping environment, due to extreme weather conditions, ill health, fire, flooding or any other extenuating circumstances beyond our control. Under such circumstances, your full payment will be returned to you. Kerthen Gar cannot accept liability or responsibility for any loss, including consequential loss, caused by cancellation.
