TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Please note that all control of FEARNACH BAY HOUSE rests with us (the owners) or as delegated in our absence to the Caretaker.

1. FEARNACH BAY HOUSE is let under Section 12(2) and Paragraph 8, Schedule 4 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1988. This means that it is to be used for holiday lets only and may not be sub-let. The maximum number of visitors permitted is eight.
2. FEARNACH BAY HOUSE may be booked for periods of one week to four weeks. Shorter breaks of a minimum of 3 nights are by arrangement.
3. A letting week runs from 5pm on the Saturday of arrival until 10am on the following Saturday unless otherwise stated.
4. Provisional bookings can be held for 7 days and will only be confirmed after the receipt of a signed booking form and the deposit.
5. Bookings, for the weeks requested, are subject to the accommodation still being available when your booking form and deposit are received.
6. The booking form, signed by you, the applicant / hirer, together with our acceptance of a deposit, will constitute a contract. Bookings by persons under 18 years of age cannot be accepted. The number of people occupying the property is limited to that stated at the time of booking, unless by prior consent with the owner.
7. A deposit, which includes the 'Good Housekeeping Bond', and as shown on the Booking Form per holiday week, is required. This deposit/bond is NOT part of the full rental of your holiday. The deposit cheque will be encashed on receipt.

9. The rental is to be paid in full not less than six weeks before the starting date. The owners are not obliged to issue any reminders and do not normally do so. Failure to make full payment by the due date will be treated as a cancellation.

1. Notice to cancel a booking is to be in writing and sent by Recorded Delivery. Provided the notice of cancellation is received not less than six weeks before the start of your holiday, as provided above, only the deposit will be forfeited.
2. If however notice to cancel has not been received by the time specified and we are, in addition, unable to re-let the accommodation for the same period at the same rate, then you will be liable to pay the total cost of the booking. However, every endeavour will be made to re-let on the hirer's behalf, although a small administration charge will be deducted from any rental refunded.

1. We strongly recommend that you take out insurance to protect yourself against financial loss in case you are obliged to cancel your holiday because a member of your party becomes ill.
