Wester Ross Retreats Terms & Conditions


Booking Information

All our properties are individually owned and reflect the individual owners own taste and style. They range from first class modern houses with all mod cons to the more simple basic old croft cottage. The rents give some indication of the standard of accommodation offered and the location. We have endeavoured to give a fair description of all our properties and all information is given in good faith.

General

Our cottages and apartments are offered for self catering holidays on a weekly basis, from Saturday to Saturday (4pm on the date of arrival to 10am on the date of departure), subject to the Terms and Conditions.

Booking Your Holiday

Once you have chosen a particular property, please telephone or email us to confirm availability. We will confirm the availability by return and will hold your reservation for up to five days to receive your completed booking form and appropriate payment.

Paying For Your Holiday

A deposit of 25% of the full cost is payable on booking. The balance is due six weeks prior to the first day of the holiday. When a booking is made less than six weeks before arrival, the full cost of the holiday is payable immediately.
Payment can be made by cheque payable to Wester Ross Retreats, bank transfer or with a credit card through Paypal.

Cancellations

If you cancel a confirmed booking, we will endeavour to re-let the property. If the property is re-let we will refund any monies which have been paid by you, less a cancellation charge of £25 per week booked. If we are unable to re-let the property, there shall be no obligation on our part to repay any rent paid.

Cancellation Insurance

We strongly recommend that you take out holiday cancellation insurance to cover the cost of your holiday. Please contact our recommended insurance broker at www.world-first.co.uk

Furnishings, Equipment, Linen Etc.

Each property is furnished and equipped to cater for the stated permitted occupancy and includes major items of domestic equipment as listed in the individual property descriptions. Bedding (duvets or blankets and pillows) is provided but not always linen, so, unless otherwise stated in property descriptions, you must bring your own duvet covers or sheets, pillow cases, towels and tea towels, and cot linen if applicable.

Pets

Unless otherwise stated pets are welcome. Details must be supplied on the booking form. Pets must be kept under control at all times. A lot of our properties are situated in areas where sheep and cattle roam freely and care should be taken to avoid confrontation.

Cleaning

All properties are cleaned thoroughly between each let. However as only a limited period of time is available to clean properties, it is a condition of your let that you leave the property and its contents as you find them.

Damage Deposit Policy

At several of our cottages we require our guests to pay a refundable Damage Deposit which will provide cover up to the value of the Deposit (generally £100) in the event of any damage, breakages or extra cleaning necessary. If the property is left in a clean and tidy condition with no damage, loss or extra cleaning required, then your Damage Deposit will be returned in full.
