From time to time, you may find that prices are reduced for “Last Minute” offers. We reserve the right to reduce prices when necessary to fill our hotels without offering a refund for earlier bookings.
7. If we change your holiday
It is unlikely that we will have to make any changes to your holiday arrangements but where this is necessary we will do our best to advise you before arrival. If a major change such as changing your hotel and/or destination, date of arrival or duration becomes necessary, we will inform you as soon as is reasonably possible. You will then have the choice of either:
A: accepting the alternative arrangements as notified.
B: choosing another available holiday from us at the advertised price.
C: cancelling your holiday.
If you choose (A) or (B) we will pay you compensation as shown below. If you choose C: we will refund all the money you have paid to us plus compensation as shown below. However in no case will we pay compensation if the change is due to an event listed in “Important Notice” shown below.
Period before arrival date when a major change is notified to you
More than 14 days’ notice – Nil
14 days or less notice - £25 Russell Hotel voucher per booking.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Compensation payments do not apply to changes caused by reason of industrial disputes, natural disasters, fire, technical problems, bad weather and acts of government or similar events beyond our control.
8. If we have to cancel your holiday
In rare circumstances we may have to cancel your holiday. Very exceptionally, this may arise as a result of the minimum number of bookings required for the holiday to take place not being achieved. In such cases, we shall inform you of cancellation as soon as possible. In all cases, we would then return to you all money you have paid or will offer you an alternative holiday of comparable standards. Whichever you choose, we will pay compensation as shown in condition 7 above. However Daish's Russell Hotel Ltd, its servant or agents can accept no liability for any other costs that may arise from such cancellations.
9. Limitation of Liability
Daish's Russell Hotel Ltd, its servants and agents will not be liable for any personal injury, death loss or damage sustained to or by guests or their property unless such loss or damage arises from the negligence of Daish's Barrowfield Hotel Limited, its servants or agents. For all claims other than death or personal injury, which result from the non-performance or improper performance of the contract by us, liability to each claimant is limited to the total cost of the holiday (less insurance costs on a travel included holiday or less travel and insurance costs on any other holiday) per person.
The above maximum commensurate with all the relevant circumstances. We and our agents shall not be responsible to you for damages or compensation in circumstances set out in the Important Notice above. We will not be liable to you for damages or compensation unless you despatch a written complaint to Russell Hotel, 135-138 The Esplanade, Weymouth, Dorset DT4 7NG within 14 days of the end of the holiday supplied by us and we will not be liable to you in respect of any breach of contract not mentioned in your written complaint. This limitation is imposed in order to allow us the opportunity to verify such complaints as may be made.
10. Special Requests
Although we do our best to accommodate any special requests such as preferred rooms, we are unable to guarantee any request. Therefore we regret we cannot accept bookings which depend on any specific requests being granted.
11. Complaints Procedure

If they do please tell the hotel reception or duty manager immediately while you’re staying with us and we will respond as soon as possible.
