Terms & Conditions
Never the most exciting part of the evening, but here goes…
Terms & Conditions
The terms and conditions set out below apply to all bookings made through this website for the Cow Hollow Hotel. Hotels Manchester Ltd is a company registered in England and Wales (No 08603137) whose registered office is in London, UK (“we” or “our”). Our VAT registration number is 167612790. The parties to any hotel booking / contract are the hotel (“us”) and the customer (“you”).
**COVID - as of 1st October 2020**
Our standard 14-day cancellation policy applies. For any further government-mandated closures of hotels in Manchester we will offer credit vouchers for guests who have stays commencing within 14-days of the announcement. For stays commencing beyond the 14-day period, a full refund will be offered, as per our regular cancellation policy. For any travel restrictions applied from guest ‘home’ localities, into the UK, or due to personal / health reasons, our standard 14-day cancellation policy applies. We are unable to make exceptions.
Credit Card Authorisation
A credit or debit card pre-authorisation is required for every reservation and will be requested at reception on check in (cash deposits are NOT accepted). No money is taken from your credit card but it will show as a 'Pending Transaction'.
The date the pre-authorisation gets released varies, depending on your individual credit/debit card. Upon your check-out, any room charges, damages or extras will be charged to your card, this will appear on your credit card statement within 3 working days. However, if you choose to pay the balance with another credit card or method of payment, we will cancel the pre-authorisation and this could take up to 10 working days to clear in your account.
We may retain your credit or debit card details temporarily after your stay has ended and you consent to us debiting such amounts for which you are responsible as a result of any damage caused to your Cow Hollow room by you during your stay, or anything missing once you have left (except the earplugs and slippers - they are yours to keep!).
These amounts may be debited from your card without prior notification. So please try not to headbutt the plasma TV or smear lipstick all over the walls.
PRICING
All prices shown online are per room per night (unless otherwise stated). They will be the lowest out of any of the channels online. Prices are subject to Value Added Tax at the current prevailing rate, and are already included in the shown rate.
Prices are subject to change without notice. However, your price is guaranteed once you receive a booking confirmation. For the avoidance of doubt, prices do not include any incidental charges, which you may incur during your stay (including, for example, any beverages consumed at the hotel).
The prices shown online are not valid in conjunction with any other offer and until you have received your confirmation number.
Availability
Availability of rooms at the rates shown online may be limited and/or restricted to certain periods.
Children
Children under the age of 5 can stay free of charge at our hotel, when sharing a room with a paying adult where a suitable room is available. Availability of suitable rooms is limited.
The hotel will determine whether a room is suitable for the purpose of this offer.
Guests with impaired mobility / hearing
The Cow Hollow Hotel endeavours to offer the same high quality facilities to our less able bodied guests. Where possible, special facilities include an induction loop system and disabled toilets in public areas.
Guide dogs are more than welcome in our Manchester hotel. Please check with Cow Hollow if you have any special requirements. We will do our best to accommodate your wishes.
Smoking Policy
Please note that ALL Cow Hollow Hotel rooms and public areas are NON-SMOKING (£200 fine applies, which we reserve the right to deduct from any credit card pre-authorisation without prior approval, if we deem to be necessary).
If you’d like to stand outside reception and smoke, however, we will give you a lovely umbrella to shelter you from the Mancunian rain!!
Pets
Pets are not permitted in any part of the hotel, with the exception of guide dogs. And, possibly, unicorns.
Car Parking
Two large 24-hour carparks are situated approximately 60 meters west of the property, on both Port Street and Dean Street, with a further car park to the East on Tib Street. For information on parking availability and charges, please contact the hotel directly. We take no responsibility for cars or belongings left in local carparks.
Arrival & Departure
We DON’T like strict hotel checking-in and checking-out policies. You are here to enjoy yourself, not feel like you’re visiting HMP Strangeways. We do our utmost to make sure hotel rooms are all available from 3pm on the day of arrival, but if you arrive early and there is a suitable, fresh, clean room available, you’ll be the first to know.
Rooms should be vacated by around 11-ish on the day of departure, unless otherwise sanctioned at the discretion of the hotel receptionist. We are aware that, on occasion, emergency conference calls, vicious hangovers, and unnecessarily-long showers can make it crucial to stay in the room for a little longer than expected, so asking our staff for an extra few hours might just work!
We won’t try to do what every other hotel does and charge you an offensive amount per hour for a late check-out, though. If there is space, and the housekeepers can clean some other rooms in the meantime, you'll be welcome to stay for the agreed period of time, free of charge.
We cannot promise you a specific room, but we will do our utmost to accommodate your requests if there are any. Your room will be held for your arrival until 11.00am the morning following the first night of your reservation. In the event of a non-arrival, we reserve the right to re-sell the room at this point as an empty room isn’t doing anyone any good!
Room Types
Cow Hollow hotel rooms vary by class and may have some very, very, very slight variations within a room type. We think they’re all pretty much the best boutique hotel rooms in Manchester though, so you shouldn't notice the difference between them too much.
During the booking process, should the one you require not be available, then an alternate will be displayed. Please ensure that your booking reflects your requirement.All of our rooms have Kingsize beds. We do not have Twin or Family rooms, unfortunately.
Deposits & Pre payments
Full pre-payments are required for all of the rates featured online. Payment is taken from your credit or debit card at the time of booking (or shortly thereafter). See 'Cancellations and amendments' below for details on cancellations.
Reservations
After your booking has been confirmed, we will send you an email containing your booking reference number and details. Please bring a copy of this (or save it down on your smartphone) and present this along with the credit / debit card used when checking in.
You may be required to sign or enter the PIN code at check in, and we will also pre-authorise you card for incidentals during the stay. If the room has been booked on your card, but for another lucky soul, please do let us know so our receptionists are aware of who the mystery guest is that is due to be arriving.
Cancellations & Amendments
All amendments must be made in accordance with our terms. Room cancellations are permitted up until 14 days prior to check-in, free of charge (this is in line with the cancellation policies applied on all of our third-party online channels, such as booking.com and Expedia). After this point, the remaining part of all guest reservations are non-transferable and non-refundable (including multi-night stays). Where an amendment is not made in accordance with our amendment terms, the payment taken as your deposit is forfeited and is not refundable.
Requests
Whilst every effort is made to fulfil any particular requests which you may have in relation to your stay with us, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to meet any particular requests which you may make and our failure in this regard will not constitute a breach of contract.
In the unlikely event that we have to change or cancel your reservation, we reserve the right to do so. However, you have the right to:- accept the changed arrangements as notified; or - make alternative date/room-type arrangements with us; or - cancel your reservation and receive a full refund of any monies which you have paid to us in respect of your reservation (please note that we shall not be liable for any sums which you have paid to any other persons in connection with your reservation).
For the avoidance of doubt, we shall have no further liability to you for any changes to or the cancellation of any online booking.
Complaints or Comments
We take our guest satisfaction very seriously. Any complaint or comment regarding a stay at one of our hotels should be made in the first instance to the hotel's duty manager at the time of your stay so that we can attempt to resolve it immediately. Problems which cannot be resolved there and then should be notified by email to info@cowhollow.co.uk.
Other hotels say this, and some don’t always stick to it, but we promise to do our best in getting back to you within 24 hours.
