Please note that full payment for your reservation will be taken between 48 hours prior to arrival and check-in. This will be debited from the credit/debit card used to secure your initial booking.

If you think that there is a mistake in your reservation or if you require any changes to a confirmed reservation, please contact us to discuss.

By placing a booking with us you and your booking party agree to the following terms and conditions as set out. During your stay, you agree to abide by the subsequent conditions as set out. If you have any questions about booking with us, please contact us before making a booking. To place a booking with us the lead guest must be at least 18 years of age. The maximum number of staying guests per room is illustrated in the room occupancy details on the website. Where the person making the booking is different to the lead guest taking up the occupation, the person making the booking may be held responsible for cancellation, non-arrival and damages as set out within. Only the lead guest and the named booking party are allowed to stay in your room.

All guests agree to respect the privacy and peace of all other staying guests, neighbours and the owners at all times. We reserve the right to cancel a booking with immediate effect if guests are not honouring this agreement or causing a disturbance/nuisance to other guests, neighbours or the owners.

Whilst the website is intended to give a fair representation of the facilities available, there may be occasions when certain facilities are out of use. Although every effort will be made to try and ensure that this does not happen, where it is unavoidable, then no liability shall attach to the inn by reason thereof. If you require further information about any particular facilities or their availability please write well in advance of your holiday so that your queries can be dealt with. The inn cannot accept responsibility for anything said to you by our staff outside the information given on the website unless it is confirmed in writing.

We welcome well-behaved dogs into a few, specially selected, rooms at an additional charge of £15 per night, per dog. If you are looking at bringing your dog with you please give us a call to ensure you are allocated the correct room.

We ask that dogs are not left on their own in the rooms. Your dog is allowed with you in all areas of the Great Western except the main restaurant.

Included in this additional rate you will find our 'Proper Dog' hamper complete with a tennis ball, Forthglade treats, biodegradable poo-bags, a can of our 'Proper Dog' pooch-friendly beer and Proper Job beer for you to take away with you. 

While dogs are welcome year-round at the Great Western, we advise guests to check with Cornwall & Devon Council regarding what time of year & which beaches they are allowed on.
