Terms & Conditions

1. The House is strictly no smoking. If there is any evidence of smoking within the house we reserve the right to charge an additional charge of £100 for deep cleaning.

3. After a booking has been received and accepted with a 50% deposit paid, the client will be required to pay the full cost of the booking six weeks prior to the date of arrival. Should a reservation be made within six weeks of arrival, full payment must be made at the time of the initial reservation.
4. All bookings will attract a security deposit of £100 against which any repair of damage or excessive cleaning costs or replacement of breakages can be offset. This must be paid when the final payment for the rental is made. The security deposit (or any remaining balance) will be returned to the client when the house has been checked - we aim for within seven days,
5. In the event of cancellation up to six weeks prior to the arrival date the deposit will be returned if we are able to re-let the cancelled period. Any cancellation made within six weeks of the arrival date will result in the total loss of the full amount of the booking unless as above the cancelled period can be re-let. We strongly recommend you purchase appropriate holiday insurance. Under no circumstances can the owners of the house be held liable for loss or damage to client's property.
6. VAT: Currently, there is no VAT on rental properties of this type, we reserve the right to change this at any time.
7. The house will be cleaned before you arrive and it is expected that the private ownership of the house will be respected and that it will be left in decent order for the next guests. Please make a note on the form provided of any breakages.

In such a case any refund would be entirely at the owner’s discretion. Rentals will not be accepted by anyone under 21 years old. Only the persons listed on the booking form may occupy the booked accommodation. Sub-letting or assignation of the let is strictly prohibited. The contract affected on confirmation of reservation relates to a holiday let only and is therefore not an assured tenancy in terms of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1988. This confers on the client the right to occupy the property for the period agreed for holiday purposes only, in terms of schedule 4 section of the aforementioned Act
