Making a Booking

You can make bookings up to 340 days in advance.

When you make a booking you’ll be given a booking reference; we’ll include this reference in your confirmation email too. All you need to do is keep it somewhere safe.

Have a quick look in your spam folder. Sometimes, it lands there. If it's not there either, it looks like you've encountered a technical problem. All you need to do is contact the hotel directly to confirm your booking.

Your credit card or debit card details provided at the time of booking guarantees your booking.

Reservations made without any form of card details to guarantee the booking are unconfirmed and will only be held for 24 hours before being released back into the system for resale.

The reason you are unable to book for the date(s) required is due to limited availability. A small number of rooms are held for those guests who wish to stay for a longer duration and at present these are the only rooms available. Why not see if there is an alternative Marston’s Inn hotel with availability nearby? Just search here: www.marstonsinns.co.uk

Our rates are per room, per night. They include VAT. Meals are not included in the room price. When you book, we'll give you a total price for the rooms and number of nights you've requested.

We'll need your card details to guarantee your booking. But don't worry - all details are stored securely, and we won't charge you for cancellations providing they're made before 2pm prior to the date of arrival. Please note: we normally only ask for your payment card details so that we can guarantee your booking, you will be asked to pay for your stay on arrival and may pay with a different card if you wish. Cancellations made by 2pm prior to the date of arrival otherwise will result in first night being charged to your card.

Cancelling or amending

If you've booked a Flex rate and need to cancel or change your booking, please do so 24 hours before you are due to check in. If you make your cancellation after 2pm prior to the date of arrival, you'll be charged a fee equivalent to one night's accommodation.

When you cancel your booking, we'll give you a cancellation reference number. Please make a note of this number as proof of your cancellation.

If you have booked a room for more than one night and need to cancel your final night's booking, please do so by 2pm on the day before you want to depart.

If you've booked a Saver rate, you cannot cancel, amend or transfer your booking.

To cancel a booking please contact the site directly, all contact numbers can be found on the individual hotel details here.

Alternatively, our central reservation team are also standing by Monday to Friday, 8am-5pm to help with any cancellations. You can contact them direct by phoning 01902 916907 or pressing Option 2 when calling the hotel number or email  them on centralreservations@marstons.co.uk.

Once you have cancelled your booking we will send you a cancellation confirmation email.

Important: If you have booked a Saver rate you will not be able to get a refund if you choose to cancel your booking. Please check the terms and conditions of the Saver rate you booked for full details.

We will cancel your booking immediately and process the refund. Depending on your card issuer, it may take up to 14 days for the funds to reach your account.
