Damages
We reserve the right to charge guests the cost of rectifying damage, caused by the deliberate, negligent or reckless act, omission, default or neglect of the Clients, their guests or sub-contractors to the  property or structure of Eckington Manor. Should this damage come to light after the guest has departed, we reserve the right to make a charge to guest’s credit/debit card or send an invoice for the amount required to make good or remedy any such damage, to the registered address. We will, however, make every effort to keep any costs that the guest would incur to a minimum.
