You must address any grievance about such other service directly to the relevant service provider.

    Karen and Michael Broom Smith may in certain circumstances be required to cancel your booking in which case a full refund of the amount you have paid will be sent to you. We regret we cannot meet any expenses or losses that you may incur as a result of change or cancellation. Very rarely, we may be forced by Force Majeure (see clause xviii) to change or cancel your booking before or after your arrival date. If this situation does occur, we regret we will be unable to make any refunds, pay you compensation or meet any costs or expenses you incur as a result.
