These charges do not apply to the deposit paid on booking.

We have been informed that Mastercard and Visa have increased their charges to our bank for handling all cards issued outwith the European Union. These costs are being passed on to us from 1 September 2010 and therefore from this date we shall have to pass on this charge to our international customers. This change will particularly affect customers from Australia, the USA, Canada and New Zealand. For Visa and Mastercards registered to private individuals we shall have to charge 2.55%. For Visa and Mastercards registered to commercial bodies the charge will rise to 3.15%. As we understand it, American Express is making no such increase. You may want to investigate the costs of paying by direct transfer to our bank. Full details will be provided when you book. We shall make an extra postage charge of £4 where maps and walking guides are sent to an address outwith the United Kingdom. We also make a further extra postage charge of £4 where rail tickets are sent to an address outwith the United Kingdom. |
