Policies

Cancel at least 30 days before check-in and you receive a full refund of everything you paid, including the cleaning fee.

Cancel between 14 and 30 days before check-in and you receive a 50% refund of the accommodation total. The cleaning fee is refunded in full.

Within 14 days of check-in the booking is non-refundable, because at that point the dates are unlikely to be re-let.

Refunds are returned to the card used at booking and usually appear within 5–10 business days. If we cancel your stay for any reason, you receive a full refund without exception.

To cancel, contact us — see the contact page.

Beattystown Mill is a 1762 historic structure featuring original stone stairs and railings that do not meet modern child-safety codes. For the safety of all guests, children under 13 are not permitted. All guests assume responsibility for navigating the property's historic features.

This is a condition of booking, acknowledged at checkout and recorded with your reservation. It cannot be waived, and a booking made for a party including anyone under 13 may be cancelled without refund.

• Maximum 8 guests. The booking party is who stays.
• Check-in from 16:00; check-out by 11:00.
• No smoking anywhere indoors. This is a 250-year-old timber and stone building.
• No parties or events. The Mill is a retreat, not a venue.
• Quiet hours from 10:00 PM. Sound carries over the water further than you would expect.
• Never leave a fire unattended, and let it burn down completely before sleeping.
• The river is unlifeguarded, the bed is rocky, and levels rise quickly after rain. Swim and wade at your own risk.

What we collect. When you book, we record your dates, guest count, your acknowledgment of the safety policy, and the name and email address Stripe returns with your payment. If you join the guest list, we store that email address and where you signed up. If you send us a message through the contact form, we store your name, email address and the message so we can reply — nothing else, and we do not log your IP address.

What we never see. Card details go directly to Stripe and are never transmitted to or stored on this site.

How we use it. To run your booking and, if you asked for it, to send occasional updates about the Mill. We do not sell or share your information, and we do not send marketing email to people who only booked a stay.

How long we keep it. Booking and safety-acknowledgment records are retained for seven years for legal and tax purposes. Guest list entries are kept until you unsubscribe, which you can do from any email we send. Contact-form messages are kept for two years and then deleted.

Your rights. Ask us for a copy of what we hold about you, or ask us to delete it, and we will — except where a booking record must be retained for the period above.

Analytics. We use privacy-respecting aggregate analytics to understand which pages and campaigns bring people to the Mill. We do not use this to identify individual visitors.

• Payment in full is taken at booking, through Stripe. Your reservation is confirmed when payment succeeds.
• Rates shown include the nightly rate and cleaning fee. New Jersey occupancy taxes, where applicable, are the responsibility of the property owner.
• Minimum stay lengths vary by season and are shown before you pay.
• Guests are responsible for damage beyond ordinary wear, including to original 18th-century fabric.
• We may cancel a booking that breaches these terms; where we do so without fault on your part, you receive a full refund.
