Lon Ban Self Catering Accomodation

Terms and Conditions

Our properties are offered for self catering holidays  (5 p.m. on the day of arrival to 10 a.m. on the day of departure) subject to the following hiring terms and conditions.

1. The receipt of a signed booking form posted/scanned and emailed back.  Initial payment of 50% by the hirer is treated as a firm booking and, if accepted, the hirer becomes liable for the full balance of charges which are payable four weeks prior to the commencement of the holiday.  If the booking falls within this period payment in full is requested.  Non-payment of the balance/deposit of the hire charges within 5 days from verbal/email booking will result in the owner treating the property as being available for re-booking.

2. If the hirer cancels a confirmed booking they remain liable for payment of the full cost of the holiday.  Upon receipt of written confirmation of the cancellation from the hirer, the owner will endeavour to re-let the property and if successful will make a full refund to the hirer less an administration fee of £30.

3. The number of persons occupying a property must not exceed the maximum occupancy level of the property and this includes children.  Owners reserve the right to terminate the occupancy of the property without notice or refund in the case of a breach of this condition. 

4. If we are prevented, because of circumstances outside our control (e.g. fire damage, drought, adverse weather, the interruption of utility supplies, damage by the previous occupants) from putting the property at the disposal of the hirer, the hire charges shall be refunded in full but the hirer will have no further claim against the owner.  We will attempt to contact the hirer before the scheduled arrival time if this is the case.  Please supply a mobile number on the booking form.

5. The hirer is responsible for the condition of the property and its entire contents during the hire period, fair wear and tear excepted.  The hirer will make good any damage or loss and leave the property and contents in clean and tidy condition.  While we do not usually require payment for broken crockery or glassware we would make a charge for damage to furnishings & fixings. While we take care to ensure that all the kitchen equipment and rooms are as clean as possible it is not always possible for us to inspect every item. 

6. Smoking is not permitted inside the properties. 

7. Every effort is made to make the descriptions of our properties to be as accurate as possible however we reserve the right to make modifications in the interest of improvements. 

8. The owners reserve the right to enter the property at any reasonable time to affect any maintenance issue that may arise.     

9. The price quoted at the time of booking is guaranteed not to increase.  However, no refunds will be offered if prices are lowered or if any special offers are offered for the period of your booking in any of the other properties owned by Corrie Cottages or associated businesses. 

10. The contract is effected between the hirer and the owner of the property is in terms of Schedule 4 Section 8 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1988 and confers on the hirer the right to occupy the property for the period agreed for holiday purposes only.
