Transportation
It is the passengers' responsibility to ensure they are at their coach departure points 20 minutes prior to stated departure time. If you miss your departure it is the passengers' responsibility to make their own alternative travel arrangements to their hotel in Blackpool.
Due to operational changes, it may be necessary to change your departure time at late notice to an earlier or later time. In the unlikely event, this is necessary Blackpool Promotions Ltd will notify you. 
Due to the nature of our coach operations, seats onboard the coaches are not allocated prior to departure and customers choose their seats when boarding the coach.  For guests with severe walking difficulties, we can request seats near the front of the coach although particular seats cannot be guaranteed, if we are to receive a high number of requests for seats near the front of the coach, these will be allocated at the driver’s discretion. Regretfully we do not have the facilities on the coaches or at the hotels to assist passengers who are wheelchair bound. 
All luggage carried on board our coaches is done so at your own risk. Blackpool Promotions Ltd accept no responsibility for any luggage that is damaged or goes missing during transit to and from Blackpool. Blackpool Promotions Ltd would always advise all customers to take a comprehensive travel insurance policy to cover loss or damage to luggage.

Special Requirements or Requests
Unfortunately, our hotels only have limited facilities for guests who are confined to a wheelchair or are unable to manage 6 to 10 stairs, this is due to the age and location of the properties, all reasonable and appropriate measures have been taken to assist access within the hotels. A full Disability Access Statement is available upon request. All hotels offered by Blackpool Promotions do have at least one customer lift that is regularly maintained, however in the event of mechanical failure all guests must be able to manage using the stairs within the hotel whilst repair work is carried out. Most repairs to the lifts can be done within 24 hours, however, should new mechanical parts be required, this can take longer. Blackpool Promotions accept no liability for inconvenience or loss of enjoyment whilst the lift is out of order.
We do accept requests for guests with walking difficulties such as a low floor or lift level, we will always endeavour to meet all requests however on occasion this may not always be possible. These requests are not Guaranteed.
Please note, although customers can request a particular bedroom, we cannot guarantee a particular bedroom number in any of our hotels at the time of booking.
In the event of an evacuation, all guests must be able to exit the property unassisted, this is to comply with the property fire risk assessment.

Privacy Policy / GDPR  2018
Blackpool Promotions will not pass your personal details to any third-party companies.
(In compliance with the Data Protection Act 1998)
THE GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) comes into force on 25 May 2018 and will impact how companies collect, store and use your personal information.
As we sell our holidays direct to the general public, we have been using booking and enquiry information to decide what to mail and email customers and enquirers for many years. Our experience is that these communications are well received and those who prefer not to receive them are happy to simply let us know so that we can stop sending them.
This way of direct marketing is a core part of the way we operate as a business and, as we currently understand the forthcoming legislation, this constitutes what is termed a legitimate interest. In terms of the regulation, this can be the legal basis for processing an individual’s booking and enquiry data for the purposes of marketing.
Following the introduction of GDPR, it is currently our intention to continue to send promotional information about our holidays to individuals based on the bookings and enquiries they have previously made and, on occasion, tell people about a product or service from another company if we feel it relates to our Slow Travel philosophy and we think it may interest them. You will, of course, continue to have the right to request that we send no further marketing information.
