Holiday let: This property is let on the understanding that it is to be used as a holiday let. It therefore is subject to Section 12(2) and paragraph 8 of Schedule 4 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1988.

Prices and payment: Prices for 2011 are fully inclusive. The prices are fixed in sterling and payment in that currency may be made in cash, by cheque, by postal order or by PayPal. PayPal payment may incur an additional charge.
The price includes all utilities (electricity) used as well as the supply of bed linen and towels and includes VAT at the current rate (20%).

Confirmation of reservation: Upon receipt of the booking form and deposit, we will send you a confirmation invoice. This is our formal acceptance of booking. Please check the details and inform us of any inaccuracies. It is understood that the person making the booking will be deemed to act on behalf of all members of the party. We regret that deposits are non-returnable. We recommend that you have health and holiday insurance at time of booking, which should include loss of deposit through cancellation.
Final payment: Details for the final payment will appear on your invoice and the balance must be paid in full not later than six weeks before the first day of the booking. If the balance is not received by us by this time we will be entitled to cancel the booking without prejudice to our claim for cancellation charges. For bookings made within six weeks of the start of your holiday, the full cost of the holiday should be paid at the time of booking.
Arrival/departure times: In order that the property can be thoroughly cleaned and inspected between bookings, bookings commence at 4pm on the date of arrival until 10am on the date of departure unless specifically agreed with us prior to arrival. It is most helpful if you are able to advise us in advance of your approximate time of arrival.
Cancellation: If you wish to cancel a booking, you should advise us by telephone and confirm the cancellation in writing, which should be signed by the same person who signed the booking form. Cancellation will take effect on receipt of written confirmation sent by post. In all cases of cancellation the deposit will be forfeit. If the cancellation takes effect after the final payment is due, you are liable for the full cost of your holiday. We will, however, use our best endeavours to re-let and if successful will refund the cost of the holiday less the deposit and costs incurred.

The following cancellation terms apply:

- 60 days or more prior to arrival a 50% refund will be given.

- 42 days or less prior to arrival no refund will be given.

In the event of us cancelling your booking, a full refund will be given.
