and the additional information for All Cottages

HOLIDAY LETS ONLY

All our cottages are let under Section 12(2) and Para.8, Schedule 4 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1988. This means that they must be used for holiday lets only and may not be sub-let. The maximum number of visitors permitted is set out in the section on each cottage. We do not allow caravans or tents.

BOOKINGS

Cottages may be booked for periods of one week to four weeks. A letting week runs from 4pm on the Friday or Saturday of arrival until 10am on the following Friday or Saturday. Reservations will only be confirmed after we have received a signed booking form and deposit. Bookings for the weeks requested are subject to the accommodation still being available when your booking form and deposit are received.

In the event of circumstances beyond our control (fire, flood etc.) which made us unable to provide the accommodation on the dates agreed, our liability will be limited to a full refund of all money paid. We would in such circumstances however do everything possible to find suitable alternative accommodation.

DEPOSIT

All booking applications must be accompanied by a non-returnable deposit of £100 in respect of each week booked. This deposit will be considered as an initial payment towards the total cost of your holiday, provided the balance is paid in full not less than 2 calendar months before the starting date. If we do not receive the full accommodation charge by this date, we will consider the reservation to be cancelled and the deposit will be forfeited. Cheques and postal orders should be made payable to Rannoch Lodge Limited. We do not accept credit cards.

CANCELLATION

Notice to cancel a booking must be in writing and sent by Recorded Delivery. Provided the notice of cancellation is received not less than 2 months before the start of your holiday, as provided above, only the deposit will be forfeited.

If however notice to cancel has not been received by the time specified and we are, in addition, unable to re-let the accommodation for the same period at the same rate, then you will be liable to pay the total cost of the booking.

CANCELLATION INSURANCE

We strongly recommend that you take out insurance to protect yourself against financial loss in case you are obliged to cancel your holiday because a member of your party becomes ill. Two insurance companies which specialize in this cover are Schofields Ltd. (UK residents only) tel: 01204 365080 and www.travel.schofields.ltd.uk also J.L. Morris Ltd. (residents of most countries) tel: 01202 649330 and www.selfcateringinsurance.co.uk.

FUEL

The charges for electricity and oil are included in the cottage rental.

A quantity of logs is provided for the wood burning stoves/open fires and further supplies may be purchased from the Manager.

DOGS

We allow a maximum of two dogs in each of the cottages but we charge £10 in respect of each dog. We would ask your co-operation in not allowing dogs in the bedrooms or on the furniture, and also in removing all traces of dog hairs before leaving. You should bring with you a bed/basket and rug for each dog to sleep on. Dogs should never be left alone in a cottage.

VISITORS’ LIABILITY

When you sign the booking form you are guaranteeing to us that you have the authority to sign on behalf of all the persons who will use the accommodation during the holiday booked.

From the time of arrival you and any other persons accompanying you take full responsibility for any loss, injury or damage suffered by you or those accompanying you (including animals) while on Rannoch Lodge ground, except where such loss, injury or damage is directly due to the acts or omissions of those employed by us.

You also agree to indemnify us against all loss and/or damage arising directly or indirectly to the accommodation and its contents from any act or omission by yourself or any person or animal accompanying you. You undertake to ensure that the cottage is securely locked if it is left unoccupied during your stay.

RANNOCH LODGE LIABILITY

The owners of Rannoch Lodge and any of its servants cannot be held responsible to you, or to any member of your party, for any loss, injury or damage suffered by you or those accompanying you while on Rannoch Lodge ground, unless such loss, injury or damage is directly due to the acts or omissions of the owners, their employees or agents.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

Your attention is drawn to the fact that Rannoch Lodge itself is in the course of reconstruction and is in a dangerous state. The warning notices around the house are there for your safety. The owners cannot accept responsibility if you or any member of your party ignore the warnings and attempt to enter the building.
