- Group bookings are those where 15 or more people wish to book.
- All group bookings must be confirmed directly with our Groups Department. It is the responsibility of the booker to ensure this confirmation is obtained, regardless of whether the booking was made directly through our website or via third-party platforms.
- Groups are required to stay in privately booked dormitory rooms. Palmers Lodge reserves the right to assign alternative room types where the original booking does not meet our Terms and Conditions.
- Where the booking is for a date more than 3 months in advance the booking can be held provisionally (option) for 14 days on the bed plan. After this period, if no deposit has been received, the booking can be removed. Although the group leader should always be advised before the reservation is cancelled the booking can be removed if contact with the group leader is not possible.
- Where the booking is for a date within 3 months, but greater than a month, it can be held provisionally (option) for 7 days. After this period, if no deposit has been received, the booking can be removed without notification to the group leader. Although the group leader should always be advised before the reservation is cancelled the booking can be removed if contact with the group leader is not possible.

| TIME BEFORE DATE OF STAY | DEPOSIT REQUIRED |
