Terms of Let

Please note: we are in the process of making some changes to the way we run the cottages – the information on this page is subject to change. If you book with us we will ensure you are aware of any significant changes at the point we take any payment from you. Please bear with us!

Please take a moment to read through the following information. This will help ensure an enjoyable stay in our cottages for both you and those who come after you. In addition, if you are thinking of booking a cottage between November and March, please read the information on Winter Lets.

Time of Lets

Lets are from 3.30pm on the Saturday of your arrival until 10.00am on the Saturday of your departure. However if these times are very inconvenient we can normally manage to be flexible given good notice. We do not generally let the cottages for short stays (less than a week) or weekends. Very occasionally a weekend let might be possible in low season or if there has been a last minute cancellation that we have failed to fill.

Care of the Cottages

We let the cottages on the understanding that tenants will look after them and leave them clean and tidy. We are sorry but ‘clean’ means exactly that as there is not time on a Saturday to deal with a dirty cooker or shower and your rent does not include cleaning. It takes all our time to make beds, check everything and clean the bits that we don’t expect you to do.
If anything is not working properly or you break something please, please tell us immediately. You might not mind about it but to those following it could be essential and a note on a Saturday morning is useless! We will ask you to pay for any breakages at the end of your stay. The cottages are designed and equipped for a MAXIMUM of 6 people (The Old School House) or 5 people (Allt Dearg). Please do not try and fit in any more than this, even a small baby.

Payment

A non-refundable deposit of 30% of the total rent is required on booking the cottage. The balance of the rent must be paid two weeks before you arrive, or the whole rent due if you book less than two weeks in advance.

We are changing the way we take payment – more details to follow soon. In the meantime we will hold any dates you wish to book – please just contact us on enquiries@glendrynochcottages.co.uk.

Cancellation

We suggest that you take out insurance to cover this possibility. The deposit and rent is non-refundable once paid.

Linen etc.

Sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers and towels are provided also tea-towels and bath mats. PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT WE KNOW WELL IN ADVANCE THE TOTAL NUMBERS OVER YOUR LET. There are plenty of blankets and hot water bottles. We can supply a cot and high chair on request but do not normally supply cot bedding.

Pets

Please ask about any pets that you wish to bring. We are normally happy for you to bring them but please keep them off the furniture. There can be sheep anywhere so please make sure that any dogs are under control.
