Terms & Conditions

LOCH MORLICH, CAIRNGORMS NATIONAL PARK 

Terms and Conditions for Moray Firth Holiday Home (The Tower)

These terms and conditions are legally binding made and entered into as of the booking date.  

When you submit a booking via our online reservation system you will receive an email from us to the email address you provide in the booking form. This does not form a contract between us. A contract shall only arise when your booking is subsequently confirmed in writing via a letter of confirmation sent to you by email. When your booking is confirmed, a contract will exist between you and the accommodation provider. You will then be required to pay a non-refundable deposit of 30% of the total holiday cost to secure your booking. We are legally bound to provide accommodation as booked; you, in turn, are legally bound to pay the balance of your holiday 30 days before the date of your arrival. If the booking is made within 30 days of arrival, then the full balance is due at the time of booking. Whilst every effort is made to obtain an alternative booking in the event of a cancellation by you, unfortunately, it is not always possible to do so. It is with regret, therefore, that if you must cancel less than 30 days before the date of your arrival, or if you have to curtail your holiday once you have arrived, we are unable to refund your holiday costs. In the event of your cancelling your holiday more than 30 days prior to your start date, only your deposit is non-refundable. It is strongly recommended, therefore, that you take out a holiday insurance policy thus avoiding further disappointment and distress.

UNAVAILABILITY OF PROPERTY

In the event of your holiday being cancelled or curtailed by us for reasons of fire, flood, similar natural occurrence, or for any other unavoidable reason, we guarantee to try to offer you an alternative holiday where available. Where this is not achievable, we will refund in full your holiday or the part of the holiday which we were not able to accommodate. We are unable to control the weather and therefore if you are unable to reach us due to floods, snow, or any other extreme conditions, we are unable to offer you a refund therefore, you must claim via your travel insurance.
