Three Gables will apply the scale shown in the table below to bookings to determine the amount of the charge, which shall be a percentage of the total cost of the holiday.
Number of days before start of holiday that notification of Cancellation is received* The percentage of total booking value payable by the customer
More than 60 days 10% of the booking cost(booking fee)
45 - 59 days 40% of the booking cost
30 - 44 days 50% of the booking cost
15 -29 days 75% of the booking cost

*In order to ensure speedy receipt, and thereby processing, of cancellations, Three Gables recommends that the Customer sends written notification of cancellation by email requesting confirmed receipt. The effective date of cancellation is when written notification is received by Three Gables. Any amounts due for refunding will be made on booked departure date.
On receipt of the cancellation, the above Chart states the amount that the Customer remains liable for at that point in time.Three Gables will then use reasonable endeavours to obtain a replacement booking. In the event that we are is successful in obtaining a replacement booking, we will will refund to the Customer the total amount paid by the Customer for the booking less the 10% Booking Fee and less the difference in price between the Customers’ booking and the replacement booking if one is made.
For example: A £1000 booking, fully paid, cancelled and relet for £900, means that the original Customer will be refunded as follows, £1000 – 10% booking fee equals £900, – £100 rebooking shortfall, = Refund of £800.
It is the responsibility of the Customer to acquire suitable travel insurance for themselves and their party to cover the booking. We strongly recommends that the Customer acquires suitable insurance to cover circumstances beyond the Customers’ control such as, but not limited to, jury duty, incarceration, change in personal or work circumstances, military service, illness – including Covid and shielding, family emergencies and travel delays.
Covid is also now a known risk and it is possible for you to insure your holiday against it. This can include the customer or any of the party having Covid, the customer or any of the party having to isolate or quarantine, or you wishing to shield any Members of the party.
