Terms and Conditions:

Overview

Our aim is to provide all our guests with a safe, peaceful and enjoyable camping and touring holiday. We therefore ask that you read the following terms and conditions carefully to ensure that your stay with us will meet your needs and expectations.

Any persons in breach of these ‘Terms and Conditions’ or, who behave in such a manner to cause offence to other guests and/or staff members, may be asked to vacate the Park, together with all members of their party, with no refund of fees paid and we will not be liable for any extra costs incurred by you.

The Park owners reserve the right to change or modify these rules at any time without giving prior notice.

1: Bookings

We cater for families and couples only and do not accept mixed/same sex groups.

There is a maximum of six family members per pitch (including infants). Please note that only a maximum of 3 pitches can be made per booking. All extras, including joining party members (not to exceed maximum pitch occupancy as stated above), must be, as far as possible, agreed and paid for before arrival.

Extras are considered part of the booking and therefore we regret that no refunds will be given.

We reserve the right to refuse any booking – our decision is final.

 Bookings can be made in the following ways:

  • Using our secure online booking system (Camp Manager)
  • By telephone on +44 (0) 1865 300239 using a debit/credit card.

The person making the booking must be a staying member on the pitch for the duration of the holiday and be over 18 years of age (at the time of booking) and must undertake responsibility for all members on the booking.

No third-party bookings will be accepted.

You can book to arrive on any day for up to 28 nights.

Provisional bookings will be held for 24 hours only.

There is no guarantee that pitches can be extended beyond the dates originally booked.

Please note that if you make multiple bookings to enable your desired length of stay, you will be required to move pitches for each new check-in date and guests in previous years have found this to be inconvenient. We therefore strongly recommend against making ‘follow-on’ bookings, especially if you are staying in a tent.

2: Contract

By making a booking you are entering into a contract with Lincoln Farm Park Partnership, High Street, Standlake, Witney, OX29 7RH.

A contract exists as soon as we have issued our confirmation form. We accept no responsibility for mistakes made when booking and taking a payment over the telephone so please ensure that you check your confirmation carefully and inform us immediately of any discrepancy.

The contract is strictly non-transferable.

The terms contained in this contract do not affect your statutory rights.

3: The Price of the Holiday

The prices listed include VAT. Once you have made your booking and paid the non-refundable deposit – 25% of the full balance or £25 deposit per week (whichever is the greater) of your stay, the remaining balance must be paid at least 28 days before the start of the holiday. You can pay your balance by calling our reception or by revisiting your online booking. If the balance is not paid in time, then we are entitled to cancel the holiday and retain your non-refundable deposit. Email reminders will be sent out to you.

Only one discount or special offer can be applied per booking. Once you have made a booking, any offers that may subsequently become available cannot be applied to an existing booking. You may be required to prove eligibility for some discounts at the time of check-in. No refunds can be given if you choose to depart prior to the end of your booked stay.

Holiday cancellation insurance is the responsibility of the customer.

4: Cancellation

You may cancel your holiday at any time, and it will be effective on the date it is received by us in writing or via email.

 However, please note:

  • The deposit paid at the time of booking (see section 3 above), is non-refundable in all circumstances.
  • The full cost of your stay becomes non-refundable 14 days prior to the start of your holiday.
  • Where full payment has been made at time of booking the above will also apply.

Holiday cancellation insurance is the responsibility of the customer.

In the unlikely event that we are unable to provide you with your booked holiday and need to cancel your booking before the holiday is due to start, you are entitled to a full refund.

We cannot be held responsible for any other costs that you may incur because of this.

5: Pitch Requests

Requests for specific pitches are subject to availability.

Every endeavour will be made to allocate guests to the pitch of their choice. However, as unforeseen circumstances can arise from time to time, it must be clearly understood that acceptance of a booking is not conditional on the allocation of a particular pitch and cannot be guaranteed.

6: Multiple Pitch Requests

We fully understand that some couples and families like to come camping together, and we do not wish to cause our guests disappointment or distress, therefore it must be fully understood that we can only guarantee this subject to availability.

During the high season it is unlikely that we will be able to accommodate bookings on adjoining or neighbouring pitches.

Please note that only a maximum of 3 pitches can be made per booking.

7: Pitches

It is your responsibility to ensure that the correct size unit (caravan / tent / trailer tent / folding camper / camper-van / motor home) has been stipulated at the time of booking
(maximum unit size is 9m and tent size 9m x 4m including guy ropes).

Please note that all our tent pitches are now gravel based, so tents must be pitched on the gravel.

Only one unit per pitch is permitted (tents cannot be substituted for an awning).

Should you subsequently alter your requirements we cannot guarantee to provide you with an appropriately sized pitch.

Pup tents (maximum size 2x2m) are permitted at our discretion, but this will depend on the size of your allocated pitch and main unit – if we deem that there is insufficient room on the pitch or you are causing an obstruction/ hazard, or you are encroaching onto a neighbouring pitch, then we will require the item to be moved or removed.

We regret that gazebos / day tents / event shelters are not accepted at Lincoln Farm Park.

All guy ropes must be sited on your pitch only and must not be tied to trees, shrubs or any structure. Your guy ropes must not encroach onto the neighbouring pitches or thoroughfares.

Only one electrical feed per pitch can be plugged into the electrical supply. Additional feeds / adaptors will not be permitted.

Your pitch number, pitching instructions and directions to it will be confirmed on arrival. If you are in any doubt whether you are on the correct pitch, please check with a member of staff.

Any guest on the wrong pitch may be required to move.

Only one car per booking is allowed and must be parked within the parameters of the pitch (second cars will need to be parked in our car park for which a fee is payable and a permit required from reception).

8: Arrival and Departure Times

Pitches are normally ready by 1pm and we ask that you do not arrive before this time unless specifically agreed in advance.

Please advise us if you are likely to arrive later than 6:30pm. Latest arrival / check-in time is 6:30pm (you will not be permitted on to the park after this time and we suggest that you make alternative accommodation arrangements and you will be able to check-in from 8:30am the next day).

Pitches must be vacated no later than 11am on the day of your departure.
