Terms and Conditions
Booking
Firm
bookings should be made with Arbuthnott Holiday Lets (AHL) either on this
website or by requesting a Booking Application Form. The Booking Application
Form should be accompanied by
either the deposit or, if booking less than 2 calendar months in advance, by payment in
full. A full payment will be treated as both an initial and balance payment in
the system outlined below.
Initial Payment
A deposit of 20% of the hire charge is required before a booking can be accepted. This should be made by cheque or credit card and will be refunded if the accommodation is not available.
Balance Payment
On receipt of your completed booking form and deposit or full payment, we shall send you an invoice/receipt for the balance and confirm your booking. Any balance is payable two calendar months before your holiday. On receipt of your final or full payment, we shall send you details on how to get to your holiday house and the welcoming arrangements.
Arrival and Departure
Bookings are from Saturday to Saturday, unless agreed otherwise. The accommodation must not be entered before 1600 hours on the day of arrival and must be vacated by 1000 hours on the day of departure.
Cancellations
Once a booking has been confirmed by AHL a contract has been made; the deposit cannot be refunded thereafter, and the balance of the hire is due not less than two months before the start of the let. However, if written notice of cancellation is received AHL will attempt to re-let the accommodation, although no guarantee of successful re-letting is given. In the event of re-letting taking place the deposit only will be retained and any balance will be returned to the hirer.
Pets
Dogs are allowed by prior arrangement only, at a cost of £10 each. All pets are to be kept under strict and proper control at all times and dogs are not to be left alone at any time in or near the accommodation.
Responsibilities of Hirer
The accommodation must not be sub-let or occupied by more people than is stated on the booking form. The accommodation must be left clean and tidy and AHL reserve the right to charge for any additional cleaning required. The hirer is responsible during the period of hire for any losses or damages to furniture, fittings or structure, or any other property of Arbuthnott Estate, whether caused willfully or not. Any such loss or damage must be repaired, replaced or paid for by the hirer to the satisfaction of AHL. In the event of any damage occurring please notify the Estate Office (Tel. 01561-320417) immediately.
