In most cases, this will be 5, 6 or 8 people maximum so please check your confirmation carefully. If you do go over the maximum number then we’ll, unfortunately, have to turn away any extra people at check-in. You and members of your party who are 18 or over may be required to provide photographic identification (valid driving licence or passport) at any time during your stay.
