Terms & Conditions of Booking
1. THE CONTRACT
The Contract will be between The Auld Kirk (referred to as “us”, “we” or “our”) and the person making the booking and all members of the holiday party (referred to as “you” or “your”) in the following booking terms and conditions. As our property is located in Scotland, you and we agree that the laws of Scotland will govern our contract with you (the “Contract”). If any individual term or clause stated in these terms and conditions held to be invalid, impermissible or unenforceable permissible by law, the remaining terms shall be unaffected and shall remain valid.
The Contract will not come into force until we have received payment in full. The Contract will be subject to these booking terms and conditions, and must be complied with. The party leader must be at least 18 years of age at the time of booking and prior to arrival we must be provided with a full list containing the names and ages and contact details of all guests (which we will hold subject to Clause 13 below).
All guests agree to respect the privacy and peace of all other staying guests, neighbours and the owners at all times. We reserve the right to cancel a booking with immediate effect if guests are not honouring this agreement or causing a disturbance / nuisance to other guests, neighbours or the owners.
2. DEPOSIT AND PAYMENT
Your booking (“Booking”) may be placed by email or directly on our online reservation system. Where your Booking is communicated to us by email, we will enter it onto our online reservation system, which will automatically generate a summary by email to the email address you provide in the online Booking form. However, that does not mean that your Booking is yet confirmed or that a Contract is yet in force between us and you.
Your Booking will only be confirmed and our Contract will only come into force once we have received payment in cleared funds of the full cost of your Booking (the “Deposit”).
No entry to our property will be allowed without payment, in full, being cleared beforehand.
We accept payment by most major credit or debit cards and by bank transfer.
3. CANCELLATION
Cancellations must be notified to and received by us in writing (preferably by email) and once received we will confirm and process your cancellation request.
All guests agree to respect the privacy and peace of all other staying guests, neighbours and the owners at all times. We reserve the right to cancel a booking with immediate effect if guests are not honouring this agreement or causing a disturbance / nuisance to other guests, neighbours or the owners.
We offer Flexible Cancellation which removes the stress and worry from booking your holiday. You can cancel your Booking and obtain a full refund of the lodging costs you have paid for up to 24 hours before the Holiday Commencement Date. However, we ask that you give us as much notice as possible about your cancellation
We strongly recommend you take out your own travel insurance for UK holidays which covers booking cancellations. This will give you the peace of mind that you will get your money back if you need to cancel your holiday at almost the last minute. If you choose not to then you accept responsibility for any loss that you may incur due to your cancellation.
4. CANCELLATION BY US FOR REASONS BEYOND OUR CONTROL (“FORCE MAJEURE”)
We won’t be deemed to be in breach of this Contract, or otherwise liable to you, by reason of any delay in performance or non-performance of any of our obligations in this Contract to the extent that such delay or non-performance is caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control (for example if access to and use of our property is prevented by fire, flood, exceptional weather conditions, epidemics, pandemics, destruction/damage, internet or other communications failure, blocked roads, war/terrorism, nuclear/radioactive disaster affecting us or our property) (these are sometimes referred to as “Force Majeure Events”)
If for any reason beyond our control we are forced to cancel your Booking (or bring it to an end early) due to a Force Majeure Event affecting us or our property we will refund you the full amount of your remaining lodging costs based on the time of your Booking remaining. This will be the full extent of our liability and no additional compensation, expenses or costs (such as travel or replacement lodging costs) will be payable.
5. OUR LIABILITY
We shall not be liable to you or your party for loss or damage to property howsoever arising. You must take all necessary steps to safeguard yourselves and your property. Nothing in this clause shall exclude or limit any liability that we are unable to limit or exclude by applicable law, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence.
6. CARE OF THE PROPERTY
You are responsible for the room and are expected to take all reasonable care of its furniture, pictures, fittings and effects, in the room. You must leave them in the same state of repair, and in a reasonable clean and tidy condition at the end of the holiday period.
Smoking is not allowed in our property.
7. DAMAGES & BREAKAGES
You are legally bound to reimburse us for replacement, repair or extra cleaning costs on demand. Any damages or breakages will have to be paid for in full on demand within seven (7) days of notification in writing (although we would not charge you for the odd glass or plate). We recommend that you have appropriate insurance in place to cover this.
If you lose a key we will replace it upon you paying for the cutting of a new one.
8. WIFI & INTERNET
Free Wi-Fi and broadband internet is provided for your reasonable use. You agree to reasonable and lawful usage of this service. We will not be liable for slow connections or for any interruptions to or the failure of this service.
9. COMPLAINTS
Every effort has been made to ensure that you have an enjoyable stay. However, if you have any problem or cause for complaint, it is essential that you inform us immediately to give us the chance to resolve it. We value your custom and want you to return (and to recommend us to your friends!).
10. DATA PRIVACY STATEMENT
See our Privacy Policy here https://www.auldkirk.scot/privacy-policy/
11. DRONES, NIGHT LANTERNS AND FIREWORKS
Use of the above are not allowed within the grounds of The Auld Kirk.
12. PETS
We may allow one well behaved dog and only one dog within the property at any one time.
Dogs must be house-trained, kept under proper control and not allowed on the furniture, and especially the beds, nor left unattended in the property. Dog hairs are to be removed from carpets and all dog waste collected and disposed of. Dog owners will be held responsible for any damage caused to the property, and we ask that dog owners respect that The Auld Kirk sits within a graveyard and, as such, dogs should be kept on a lead at all times. Any additional cleaning required due to negligence may result in a further charge (usually at least £50).
We reserve the right to seek details of any dogs in advance and to refuse permission for them to be brought to the accommodation for any reason, including if they are considered unsuitable in character, size or behaviour, bark continuously, or are liable to be a nuisance or danger to us, our neighbours or other guests and to local wildlife and livestock.
13. CARE OF YOUR PROPERTY
If you leave any property behind we will use reasonable endeavours to return it to you, although we reserve the right to charge you in advance for any reasonable postal or courier costs. We may dispose of any unclaimed property after six (6) months.
