Things You Need to Know

TERMS AND CONDITIONS 

Below explains the things you need to know about myhotelbreak.com and how we protect your personal data.

myhotelbreak.com is a trading name of Classic Scotland Ltd, VAT no 680 4667 14, registration number SC 168893 and whose registered offices are at 3 Dunlop Street, Strathaven, Scotland ML10 6LA. 

myhotelbreak.com acts as the booking agent for the hotels featured on the website.

Best Available Room 

Featured hotels will allocate you the best available room on arrival at no extra charge. This may be the best room in the hotel or it may be the best available room of the standard that you have booked (particularly if the hotel is busy). This is at the hotel's discretion. Available only for twin, double and single rooms. We cannot guarantee best available rooms in Family or triple rooms. Feature rooms and suites cannot be upgraded. Best available rooms are subject to availability. Please note that the fact that a hotel offers a best available room does not guarantee that the room will be upgraded - the upgrade is dependent on availability and the hotel's own discretion. If a room upgrade is a prerequisite of your booking, please book the upgraded room. If you have paid a supplement for a superior or executive room, you will get the best available superior or executive room

Self Catering Lodges & Apartments

Accommodation will vary in terms of number of bedrooms and maximum occupancy levels. These will be detailed on the room information pages within the property information pages.

Please view the hotel/lodges' own noticeboard to check payment details. Some lodges will require pre-payment or non-refundable deposits. This will be clearly stated before booking. 

Room Types

Many hotels also give different names to their various room types which may differ from the above but again, all this detailed information can be found on the room information pages.  

Single Room* - Sleeps 1 (Single bed or Double/Twin for sole occupancy)

Double Room - Sleeps 2 people

Twin Room - Sleeps 2 people

Triple Room - Sleeps 3 people (Bed types will vary by hotel)

Family Room - Sleeps 2 adults and 1, 2 or 3 children depending on the hotel (Bed types will vary by hotel)

Accessible Rooms - Many of our hotels do offer Accessible rooms and this will be advised in the room types section or possibly on the hotel's noticeboard. Please note that amenities and accessible features will vary from hotel to hotel so it is always advisable to call us to discuss your needs so that we can ensure that the room will be suitable and available for you. Please also note that requesting an accessible room in your booking notes does not guarantee that you will be given this so again, we would ask that you call us to confirm if this is an essential part of your stay. 

*Single Room Supplement
Hotels normally charge based on 2 people sharing a room. As it costs them the same to offer a room (be it a double or a single room) in terms of cleaning, maintenance, heating, lighting etc. as it does when 2 people share, hotels reserve the right to charge a Single Room Supplement when only one person occupies the room which will be a % on top of the normal "per person" rate. This varies from hotel to hotel but you will be advised or notified of this as you make your booking so that you are fully aware of the price you are expected to pay at the hotel.

Booking Process

Your booking will be transmitted to MyHotelBreak.com central reservations by a secure server and instantly passed to the hotel, deleting your personal data with the exception of guest names, using the latest encryption technology. As soon as you have submitted your details, your reservation order will be confirmed to you by email.  Please note that it is your responsibility to ensure that your contact details are up to date as we may need to get in touch with you by email or phone if there are any unforeseen issues with your booking. This confirmation is firm for all standard rooms types and should be absolute for other room types too although those room configurations that are less in quantity such as family/triple rooms etc may not always be freely available but we will let you know as soon as we are advised as such by the hotel. You will receive an email confirmation order more or less by return detailing your confirmation details and booking reference number. Please note, we undertake to provide you with the most up-to-date availability in all our hotels. On occasion, a particular room type may not be available (usually upgrade or non-standard rooms), in which case we will inform you of a similar room type. We guarantee no deposit will be taken from your card, unless you are booking an Advance Purchase deal or where payment may have to be made in advance for festive breaks/suites/honeymoon rooms/entertainment breaks/ etc and for certain hotels or self-catering lodges when a deposit may be required. MyHotelBreak.com will notify you right away should this be the case and it should also be on the hotel's Noticeboard page or on the offer details page. You normally pay the full amount at the hotel. Bookings requiring more than 3 rooms are on request only. You can book more than 3 rooms online and we will endeavour to get back to you within 48 hours either confirming the booking or offering an alternative where possible.

Card details

The card details you supply at the time of booking are only used to secure the booking. Your card details will be held securely using Stripe's PCI-compliant servers and no payment will be taken unless required to do so for a particular offer (all of which will be stated on our website and your confirmation when booking), or in the event of a cancellation where a £5 cancellation fee will be debited. Late cancellation or failure to arrive at the hotel may incur further charges. Details will be on each hotel offer and on your email confirmation.

On occasion, during the booking process there may be the need to take a small pre-authorisation from your card of £0.01 to simply validate your details, this amount will be refunded back instantly. Once you arrive at your chosen hotel, hotels will usually request a card or deposit to be lodged at check-in for use against any incidentals purchased during your stay. Some hotels will also take a pre-authorisation amount at check-in. This is not a debit against your card but it does hold the funds on your account for use if required. This is usually released a few days after your stay but will vary depending on how quickly your bank processes these. We recommend you contact your chosen hotel if you require more details on this. Please note that hotels will usually take a deposit for particular breaks eg Festive. We will only normally take payment upfront for any advanced purchase offers, this will be clearly stated on the booking form.

If you do not provide valid card details to secure your booking we do reserve the right to cancel your booking if we cannot get in touch with you to obtain alternative valid card information. 

Payment Procedure

The reason why we ask for a credit or debit card is to secure your booking. No payment is taken from this card by us or the hotel unless required for a particular offer. Payment is then made at the hotel by the guest on departure ( unless advised otherwise). Should payment not be taken at the hotel after the point of departure for any reason then we do reserve the right to both pass your contact details on to the hotel and if, required, to take payment from the card provided to secure the booking. Please note we will only deduct payment for the original booking amount, any ancillary sales will need to be paid directly to the hotel. Payment can be made either by credit/debit card, cash or cheque. If you do not have a credit or debit card to hold the booking you can use someone else's card as long as you have permission.

Should any outstanding payments be due by a guest for a previous booking at a hotel (due to non-arrival, room bill not settled etc), we reserve the right to cancel any future stays until the outstanding debt is settled. 

Advanced Purchase Rates

Please note that the above does not apply to Advance Purchase deals where full prepayment is required. These are flagged up as such and customers are advised when booking that payment is taken immediately (securely using SagePay). These bookings are non-refundable, non-cancellable and non-changeable which differ from our standard practices but these are made clear when booking.

Bookings for more than 15 people

For group bookings of 15 or more customers, our booking terms differ slightly. A credit/debit card will still be required to secure the rooms for you. Cancellation Policy for bookings of 15 people or more: The whole booking can be cancelled 28 days prior to arrival with no charge. Up to 50% of the original booking can be cancelled 14 days prior to arrival with no charge. If more than 50% of the original numbers cancel 14 days prior then the 1st night of stay will be charged to the card details used to secure the booking. You can cancel up to a max of 3 rooms from the original numbers 48 hours prior to arrival with no charge.

For Travel Trade and Special Interest Groups, please call our specialist team at MyHotelBreak.com on 01357 529 129, option 2.

Promotion codes

You will find the promo code box at the top bar of our website.

Gift Vouchers

You can redeem your gift voucher(s) online and you will be prompted to enter the information during the booking process. If your voucher has expired, depending on the type of voucher you have purchased, we may be able to extend the redemption date (usually for a further 6 months from the date of expiry). This is available for an admin fee of £10 per voucher. Please note that certain vouchers (e.g. Hotel Break for Two) cannot necessarily be extended as the participating hotels and type of inclusions etc can vary from year to year. For such occasions, we may be able to convert your voucher into an equivalent value monetary voucher ( same admin fee applies).

Special offer rates

The special rates we feature on this site, are the best available, and cannot be used in conjunction with any other discounted offers. We guarantee lowest available rates, which apply at the time of the booking. All offers and prices are subject to availability and are usually based on two people sharing.

Christmas and New Year breaks

Our short break rates or any special offers are not valid during the festive period (23 Dec-27 Dec and 30 Dec- 2nd Jan), Festive breaks are available on our Festive breaks page. Festive breaks are sold as packaged rates and unless otherwise stated are only available for the number of nights shown. Please note that deposits may be required by hotels for festive breaks and the full balance may have to be paid a few weeks in advance of arrival.

Hotels with entertainment

Hotels showing our entertainment icon may not have entertainment on every night and you may have to book a specific entertainment break. Check each hotel's page for full information or give us a call.

Making a booking within 24 hours of arrival (or 48 hours if over a weekend)

Transmit your booking as normal, and you will receive your confirmation booking reference number by email more or less by return. For any bookings made within 24 hours of arrival (or 48 hours if over a weekend), we do strongly recommend you call us or the hotel direct in order to double-check the availability before you arrive as we cannot 100% guarantee that rooms will still be available without checking. 

Child Policy

Hotel's child policies may slightly vary but, in the vast majority of cases, up to two children under 15 years sharing a room with two adults receive free accommodation, and pay for meals, which are made on booking, our normal charges are:

0 - 4 years. No charge for accommodation, pay for meals as taken.
5 - 9 years.
 £5 Bed & Breakfast. £10 Dinner, Bed & Breakfast.
10 - 14 years.
£10 Bed & Breakfast. £18 Dinner, Bed & Breakfast.

Some hotels may have different child rates, the rate you pay for children will be stated on your booking summary and confirmation.
Where available, all children have free use of hotel leisure facilities, but please check with your hotel for any child restrictions. These rates are not valid during the festive season. Children's menus are supplied and where dinner is included children will dine from the children's menu only. If you wish your children to dine from the main menu, an extra charge may be made. Please check with the hotel beforehand.

Price Changes

Prices are guaranteed unless the government VAT should increase or there is an additional tax imposed. Prices shown on each hotel screen are based on a per person per night basis, sharing a twin or double room, and include accommodation with private facilities, a full hot breakfast (unless otherwise stated). If you have booked dinner, then this is usually a choice 3 courses plus coffee (unless otherwise stated and supplements may apply for certain items) table d'hote menu. Please check the noticeboard of your chosen hotel for details. Some hotels which do not offer a table d'hote menu will offer an allowance towards the a la carte menu. Please check with your chosen hotel prior to arriving if you wish to know the exact dinner offering inclusions if it’s not stated in your confirmation email. Prices include VAT at current UK rates. In the unlikely event there has been an error with a price which has come to light before your arrival, then we will notify you of the correct price as soon as we are aware. For genuine pricing errors please note we are not obliged to honour the error rate but you will be able to cancel free of charge should you not wish to proceed with your booking. 

Cancellation or Amendments

If you have to cancel your booking, you can do this by the following methods:

1.    Online by logging into your bookings account using your e-mail address and the password given at the time of booking,
2.    By sending us an e-mail with your Hotel Booking Reference, Hotel Name and Arrival Date to enquiries@myhotelbreak.com or
3.    By calling our reservations department on 01357 529 129 and subsequently receive a cancellation email and a cancellation reference number ( your booking is not officially cancelled until you are in receipt of this email and it is your responsibility to ensure that you have this official notification of your cancellation ). 

Unless you require to cancel on the day of arrival and our offices are closed, please do not contact the hotel direct as we have to cancel the booking on our systems for administrative purposes. If you are cancelling on the day of arrival and our offices are closed, then it would be prudent to call the hotel direct to let them know that you won't be staying with them and they can advise if they would be looking to charge the applicable cancellation fee. 

Please note it is your responsibility to ensure that your booking is fully cancelled and you are in receipt of a cancellation email (and a Cancellation Reference Number for telephone cancellations)  from MyHotelBreak.com. Until you have received the cancellation email your booking will still be deemed to be live. Should you cancel a £5 cancellation charge* will be taken from the card you used to secure the booking. 

If you have to cancel less than 48 hours before published check-in time ( some hotels have a longer cancellation period, this will be advised on the hotel's notice board prior to booking and on your confirmation form after booking), or you fail to arrive at the hotel for your stay – you will also be charged for the first night of stay. Unfortunately, we are unable to refund any cost for extra items booked on your behalf such as green fees, activities or rail tickets. Should your card decline when we attempt to take payment from the details provided for this or for any other fees due, then we reserve the right to suspend your account and pass your contact details on to the hotel in order for them to successfully obtain payment or to pursue further (legally) if they choose to do so. 


If you wish to amend your booking for any reason then please contact our reservations team. If you wish to change the date we will do our best to honour the same rate as you are paying, however, if any offers or rates have changed since you made your booking then we will quote you the best available rate for your new date.

Please note that amendments within 48 hours of arrival will be subject to agreement by the hotel to permit a change. In the event that they will not allow the change, then cancellation fees will apply if you do not stay on your original stay date and terms. Hotels may also request upfront payment for any late amends ( within 48 hours of arrival ) and they may advise that no further changes or cancellations will be permitted.

Please note that the above does not apply to Advance Purchase offers and for Self Catering accommodation - these have different conditions usually requiring upfront payment and usually including non-cancellations/no amend policies. Full terms and conditions will be advised during the booking process for these packages which fall out with myhotelbreak’s normal terms and conditions.

* myhotelbreak.com has always provided the best available booking terms in the industry. This will continue with no upfront costs or charges for amendments to bookings. Reluctantly, the spiralling costs of the technology required to bring you the best hotel deals and the cost associated with processing bookings have required us to introduce a small £5 cancellation fee. Also, the charge will discourage block booking of dates, which limits availability for genuine bookers. For Advance Purchase bookings and late cancellations, our terms have not changed.

Check-in and Check-out times

You can check in anytime after 15.00 hours. If you are going to be very late in arriving, then it would be helpful if you could let the hotel know. Check-out time is by 11.00 hours. Each hotel page indicates check-in and check-out times. If you are arriving early, please let us know beforehand, and we will try and have a room ready for you. If you are checking out late, then please notify the hotel on arrival.

Mealtimes

Although there may be slight variations, breakfast is served between 07.30-09.00 hours, and a little later on Sundays. Dinner is served between 18.30-20.00 hours. See each hotel page for exact opening times. Restaurants can be very busy, especially at weekends, so booking in advance is advisable.

Pets

Some hotels allow dogs although usually not in public areas e.g. restaurants. Most hotels will make an administration charge. To find hotels which allow dogs, please use our advanced search feature or filter results, you can also view our dedicated, pet-friendly hotels page.

Please also note that a hotel that does not feature a dog friendly symbol may still allow pets in certain areas. If you have an allergy or have any concerns about this then please do call us and we can check with your chosen hotel and advise accordingly. 

Booking Extras

If you choose to include extras on your booking such as golf, spa treatments and activities then these will not be confirmed until you have submitted your booking and contacted the hotel to arrange a suitable time. Details will be stated in your email confirmation.
