Our Policies

Hyde Park Victorian is a small property where every guest reservation is both important and special to us. To ensure the maximum availability for all of our guests, we cannot reserve your stay until full payment is received. If your travel plans change and you must cancel your reservation, please call us at least 3 (three) days prior to your arrival date to cancel your reservation.

In the unlikely event that you must cancel with less than three (3) days notice, shorten your stay or check out early, please understand that we must ask you to take responsibility for your entire reservation. If we can rebook your room(s), a partial refund will be made.

Reservation ChangesShould your plans change, you may apply your paid reservation towards a future stay of equal or more value. The future stay must be paid in full at the time of the change. There is a $25 change fee. Subject to availability.

On-Site StaffingPlease note that insurance and safety policy may require us to maintain on-site staffing. Staff may be quartered in the Cottage or on the 3rd floor of the Victorian Mansion, where the 120" screen projector High-Definition TV and PS3 are located. By arrangement, we can accommodate your entertainment needs in this space and provide the much-needed assistance with the various controls and remotes.

The purpose of the on-site staff is to provide assistance and see to the safety of the guests as well as supervise the use of property. We welcome all groups that are respectful of the property, but be aware that the 100-year old mansion is furnished with antiques and difficult to replace objects. In the unfortunate circumstance of damage, we would look to you for compensation.

If damages exceed the deposit, then we will keep the deposit and request the difference.
