If your holiday is more than eight weeks away, a 30% deposit of the total holiday cost, plus any applicable booking fee, is required to secure your booking. You can pay by debit/credit card or BACS transfer. We only accept payment in pounds sterling.

Your final balance must be paid no less than eight weeks before the start of your stay. Depending on the method of payment, we will either collect your balance payment automatically from the card used to pay the deposit, otherwise we will send a secure payment link for you to pay the balance.

Unfortunately, we do not accept stag or hen parties in our properties, unless it has been agreed in advance with the property owner. You may see restrictions about certain groups in regards to age or party make up on individual property pages.

In some cases, we may not be able to hold a property for you, such as if within a few days/weeks of arrival.

The cost is based on the booking value and number of guests.

Unfortunately, both ABTA and ATOL Bonding cover areas of the holiday industry which Luxury Coastal doesn’t operate. ATOL is only applicable where flights are sold and ABTA is only applicable to package holidays; like other UK domestic holiday agencies, Luxury Coastal solely provides accommodation, so we’re unable to join these schemes.
