LUGGAGE DELIVERY/COLLECTION IN CLOVELLY

Clovelly is a privately owned village in North Devon. Due to vehicle restrictions, our drivers are unable to access the village, therefore the following terms & conditions apply only to transfers to and from The New Inn and Harbour View properties in Clovelly.

• Luggage will be delivered to the Visitor Centre located at the top of village or to the New Inn storage room. A phone call is made by Visitor Centre staff to the Harbour View for collection. A phone call is made by our luggage driver to the New Inn staff who then come and collect the luggage from the store room and take it back to the hotel.
• Our responsibility for your bags is complete once they have been delivered to The Visitor Centre or the New Inn storage room.
• For collections, bags are taken by a member of staff from the New Inn to the Red Lion.  The Harbour View courier your bags to The Red Lion for collection.
• Accommodations may charge for the transportation of your luggage to the Visitor Centre and to The Red Lion. This is charge applied by the accommodation independently and has no connection to our charges.
• Luggage Transfers Limited is only responsible for your luggage during the transportation by a Luggage Transfers Driver. We are not liable for your luggage whilst being stored or transported within Clovelly.

Unfortunately we can not book parking. The options that we would suggest would be to either speak with your accommodation as they will know the local area best and may be able to advise if there is anywhere you can park, or some accommodations will allow you to leave your vehicle on site for the duration of your trip. Otherwise, you could look online, either googling local parking, or visit https://www.justpark.com/.

Yes, you can bring your dog with you. There are things to beware regarding safety on the paths, such as keeping them on lead, keeping distance from livestock, keeping your dog away from cliff edges, and ensuring that you have enough water for them. Luggage transfers can carry dog items such as dog food, dog bed and dog toys/essentials as long as they are in handled bag with a label on.

Yellow Luggage Transfers labels will be added on your first transfer, they will include the booking name and reference and we ask that you keep this label on for the duration of your transfers. To enable the driver to identify your luggage for your first pick up, you should have the party name somewhere on your luggage.

Yes, we will deliver and collect luggage from B&Bs, Airbnb, Guest houses, Inns & Pubs.  We will even deliver to private addresses and train/bus stations. If you require us to collect or deliver to an accommodation/private address that we don’t know of, we will just need a full address and contact details, and any particular requirements if there are any.
