Flexible Bookings
As we all continue to adapt and react to the changing circumstances, we have made the decision to change some of our booking conditions. These amendments will be applicable for all NEW bookings. With the latter also applicable for current bookings.
OUR FLEXIBLE BOOKING CHANGES
- 10% deposit to confirm any future bookings made between 1st May 2020 to 1st May 2021 for holidays commencing between these dates. (original deposit amount 25%)
- The date of which your balance is due is now 2 weeks before arrival for all holidays taking place between 31st July and 1st November 2020 and 4 weeks for all holidays taken between 1st November 2020 and 31st January 2021. (originally balance payments made 8 weeks before arrival)
We hope that this will give our guests greater confidence and flexibility when making any future bookings.
IF GOVERNMENT RESTRICTIONS ARE IN PLACE
If you make a booking within the near future and the government restrictions are still in place, then we will offer one of the following options.
- An alternative holiday on the same dates next year (if available), will be honoured at the original price
- An alternative holiday on a different date. If the value of the holiday is less than the original price paid, we will refund you the difference. If the value of the holiday is more than the original price paid then the difference will be added to your booking.
- If none of the above is suitable then a full refund of money paid.

The hot tubs outside will go through is usual comprehensive clean followed by additional disinfectant clean, focusing on the control panel and covers. To ensure your hot tub has the correct chemical balance and ph levels, our staff will perform our usual daily checks. We will make sure social distancing is followed at all time and control panels are disinfected after checks. We also recommend taking a shower before you relax in the hot tub. Further information about using your hot tub can be found in the information folder in your cottage or log cabin.

We appreciate your cooperation in observing these times.
Guidelines for Guests while staying at Rivercatcher
In each property you will have information on coronavirus guidance and information what to do before you depart as advised by the British Government and Welsh Government.
We have been advised for our guests to do the following if one of your party develops symptoms:
- Return to your primary residence immediately and self-isolate for 7 days (14 days for everyone else in the party) as instructed by the British and Welsh Government guidance.
- Please inform Andy at Rivercatcher by phone and email immediately as our cleaning protocols are different in this scenario.
Needless to say if one of your party develops symptoms in the days prior to your scheduled stay with us, please follow Government guidance – self isolate, get tested and DO NOT TRAVEL.
