Additional persons will be calculated at the ‘accompanying staff rate’ and this charge will include all meals.

Group leaders will have their beds prepared by Kilve Court. All booking forms must be returned by the due date in order to retain the booking offer. A NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT of £250 will be invoiced upon receipt of a signed booking form. Please note that deposits are no longer retained for any shortfall in numbers, however, it is important that you are as accurate as possible with your student estimates as this effects the activity programme, and possibly other groups who may be sharing the centre. A cancellation charge of 25% of the total estimated cost of your booking will be applied if you cancel less than 6 months before your course. A 50% cancellation charge applies to cancellations made less than 3 months before your course.
