Avalon Lodge Bed and Breakfast

Award-winning Avalon Lodge is set in a rural location but only 1 mile from the centre of the medieval, market town of Devizes and has the bonus of three of the four rooms having south-facing balconies overlooking the countryside and garden with free-range hens, ducks and two rescue donkeys!

All four rooms are a good size, en-suite, individually styled with beds to offer a fabulous night’s sleep, whilst the Family room has an adjoining bedroom with a full-sized single bed. Breakfast is a feast with ample variety and catering for all requirements. There is free wifi throughout and outside there is plenty of room for cars to be parked safely.

In addition to the friendly welcome and traditional sense of hospitality Avalon Lodge has the benefit of being within walking distance of an award-winning food pub and is ideally located for exploring all the delights and attractions of Wiltshire allowing you to visit Salisbury, Stonehenge, Avebury Stone Circle, 20 National Trust properties, Longleat and the Georgian splendour of Bath in under an hour.

We look forward to meeting you and helping you make the most of your stay.

Rules

Avalon Lodge is a small property where every guest reservation is both important and special to us, however, please read our terms and conditions below carefully to ensure that we are the right B&B for you. We are non-smoking and as we own two curious cats Avalon Lodge may not be suitable for people with pet allergies or phobias. We look forward to welcoming you but by making a booking you are entering a legally binding contract with us so, although rather mundane, these details are important to know. Like all travel arrangements it does make sense to have appropriate travel insurance or at least holiday cancellation insurance. Same day booking:If you wish to make a late same day booking, please call us rather than booking online. If we aren?t expecting you we may not be here in time to let you in and welcome you! Minimum Stay Requirements:All weekends that include either a Friday or Saturday night must be at least a two-night stay and during Christmas week all stays must be at least two nights. Arrival:Your accommodation will be available to you from 4 pm on the day of arrival, but if you wish to arrive earlier, please let us know so we can ensure we are here and that your room is ready for you. We may not be able to accommodate you if you arrive earlier than the agreed time as we may be busy preparing your room but in most cases you are welcome to drop off luggage and collect keys. Late arrival procedure:Please contact us no later than 7pm to let us know if you will be arriving later than arranged, it?s not usually a problem unless we are due out but does help us plan. Departure:Check out is requested by 10.30 on your day of departure so we may prepare the room for future guests. Failure to vacate the room by this time could result in further charges. Deposit:A non-refundable deposit of 1 night?s charge per room is payable on booking and Treats are charged at the time of their order. Full payment for the remainder of your stay is due on your departure. Bookings:Bookings can be made directly via the online facility, over the phone (credit card details are taken), by letter or in person. Payments can be made in a variety of ways to suit you. Payments:Via the online facility, cash in person, cheque if cleared in advance, by a Debit card or Visa or MasterCard credit card. In addition to the balance on your booking, any additional goods and services purchased during your stay must be paid in full at check-out. Cancellation four weeks or less before the intended date of stay:Cancellations or amendments should be made in writing, email is fine. The full cost of accommodation is due and payable via debit/credit card unless we are able to re-book your room. If we are able to re-book your room, we will refund the re-booked portion, less a £25.00 processing fee. Cancellation greater than four weeks before the intended date of stay:All payments, apart from ordered Treats, will be refunded less a £25.00 processing fee. Shortened Stay:In the unlikely event that you must shorten your stay or check out early, please understand that we must ask you to take responsibility for your entire reservation. If we can rebook your room(s), a full or partial refund will be made less the £25 processing fee. Cancellations of Treats:Please check with us as these may already have been ordered and therefore non-refundable. Because of our small size, cancellations affect us significantly, and we do not over-book, as large hotels do. By making a booking and entering into this contract you are authorising us to make charges to your card without any additional consent being required We must enforce our cancellation policy so if you are worried about having to cancel for any reason, we recommend you purchase travel insurance. Non-availability of Accommodation:We would only cancel your visit for reasons beyond our control. We would, however, attempt to offer you alternative accommodation. If this was not possible, or unacceptable to you, then we would refund all monies already paid by you. Our liability would not extend beyond this refund. Disabled Access:All rooms are accessed by stairs or steps, therefore, the property may not be suitable depending upon your disability. Please see our Access Statement "Meeting Your Needs".
