  • Deposits are set at 25% at time of booking holiday.
  • Departure time on leaving day is 10.00, arrival time is 16.00 currently because of additional Covid cleaning. Minimum holiday length is 4 days. We try to finish cleaning early if possible nd will text customer time to come in.
  • We will require a home address of one staying adult as it is a legal requirement on us in UK and and a normal email address to send you information etc. We prefer also to have a mobile number as the ferry companies request one so they can inform you of any last minute schedule changes and we can tell you if you can come in early.

The 'contract rate' from the ferry companies provide to us is much cheaper and better terms than their Economy rate. I would note that early booking is advisable at peak times of the year as not all car ferry tickets are made available to us as Wightlink and Redfunnel keep back some for themselves to sell at full price.
