For bookings made from 1st August to 30th September ahead of the academic year the booking is for, the Initial Cancellation Period reduces to 7 days. We will refund the full security deposit (50 to 250). 20 will be deducted from the refunded amount to cover any international bank charges for deposit refunds made to non-UK banks.
