Please respect our no amplified music policy and please keep on site noise to a minimum whilst staying on site. Should we need to act or ask you to reduce noise, your security bond will not be returned. Our sites are not a place for loud music and partying.
From the £100 security bond taken prior to your stay, we reserve the right to charge you for repair, replacement or making good if the damage or breakage is significant. Furthermore, if the bond will not cover the damage costs, by entering into these terms you are fully aware that you remain liable for the full costs of any damage if over the amount taken in a security bond.
We reserve the right to charge for excessive cleaning at a rate of £15 per hour where accommodation has been left in an unacceptable condition or where guests have left washing up and so on.
Guests will be held responsible for any fire, damage or alteration to the structure caused by negligence and Hen Camp will pursue the guests for damages, including above and beyond the security bond. Please ensure you have full travel insurance cover.
The security bond will be refunded less any deductions for breakages, damage, or any additional cleaning charge, within 7 working days of departure. You will be notified if any charges are going to be made. Please let us know of any damage before you depart.
