Booking Protect - Refund Protection

Refund protection for your stay at the Lisburne Place Town House from Booking Protect

Guests are understandably nervous about commiting to booking at the moment and so we have come up with a solution to reassure anyone booking with us that their payments are fully protected.

Booking Protect is provided by a third party called Xcover. It is underwritten at Llloyds. It is not insurance BUT it is payment protection. The details below are taken directly from their policy wording. They may be subject to review and change.

When you book direct with us - Refund Protection is an optional extra you can add. You will be able to see how much it will cost before you select it.

Booking Refund Protection
We will provide you with a refund on any unused booking if you are unable to start your holiday on its commencement date due to any of the circumstances set out below.
