When & where do I collect my hire?

Come to our barn in Hawkshead to collect your hire. For some hires, we can arrange to drop off your chosen hire at a local campsite of your choice.

The standard collection time is between 4pm and 6pm on the first day of your hire. Want to collect earlier? We can offer early collection from 9am at a charge of ½ day’s hire.

When & where do I return my hire?

Unless we have delivered your hire to a campsite, please return it to our barn in Hawkshead at the end of your holiday.

The standard return time is between 9am and midday on the last day of your hire. Want to return later? We can offer return until 6pm at a charge of ½ day’s hire. We find this option is especially useful for people who are touring farther afield and who do not want to rush back for the morning return time.

What are your cancellation terms?

This is a summary of our cancellation terms. Please see the terms & conditions for our roof tents and teardrops for the full wording.

Please note that if you book through a 3rd party site such as AirBnB or Booking.com then the cancellation terms may be different.

If you cancel within 7 days of placing the booking: we will refund any paid monies in full within 7 days of cancellation.

If you cancel more than 7 days after placing the booking & at least 4 weeks before the start of the hire period: we will refund any paid monies minus the booking deposit within 7 days of cancellation.

If you cancel more than 7 days after placing the booking & less than 4 weeks before the start of the hire period: we will only refund the security deposit.

If the booking has already commenced at the time of the cancellation, we will consider each situation individually regarding the refunding of any monies paid. We strive to ensure that the service you receive is as advertised and we can only compensate or refund guests if there has been a substantial misrepresentation on our part or a substantial failure to deliver the advertised service to you. We welcome all constructive feedback and urge guests to contact us as early as possible if there are any problems with the equipment hired to you.

In all cases where we retain monies after a cancellation, we will do our utmost to re-hire the cancelled hire period. If we manage to do so, then we shall refund you by the smaller of the cost of your hire or the value of the re-hire. For example, if your hire fee was £350 and we manage to re-hire your cancelled period for £200, we shall refund you a total of £200 in addition to returning the security deposit.
