MAKING CHANGES TO YOUR BOOKING: All changes made (including cancellations and amendments, such as moving dates) are subject to a £20.00 administration fee per booking.
CANCELLATION BY THE OWNER If for any reason Kylesku Lodges have to cancel the booking you will be refunded the full amount of the booking. If we have to terminate your holiday early you will be refunded part of the lodging costs based on the time remaining of the booking. This will be the full extent of the liability of the Owners. No additional compensation, expenses or costs will be payable.
ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE Check in is from 1600 to 1730 on the day of arrival. If you need to arrive out with these times, this must be agreed by mail or telephone 24 hours in advance. Check out is 1000 on the day of your departure (0930 on a Saturday) in order that the property can be thoroughly cleaned and prepared for the next arrival.
On departure, you are requested to leave the accommodation in a clean and tidy condition. Remove all rubbish to the large bins next to reception and take away all glass bottles to the recycling. We reserve the right to make a charge of £35 for extra cleaning if the accommodation is not left in a satisfactory condition.
Electricity, bed linen, towels and super fast wifi is all included in the cost of your holiday.
CARE OF THE PROPERTY Guests are asked to leave their lodge clean and tidy. We ask that any breakages or damage should be reported immediately to us, as we understand accidents happen. Failure to do this may result in you being charged for any breakages or damage. Any missing inventory from the property on your departure may also be charged for.
Please note there are no electric charging facilities at Kylesku Lodges at this time. However there are points in Scourie (9 miles north), Lochinver and Ullapool.
BBQs These must not be used on the wooden balconies due to fire risks. They should instead be positioned on the gravel or rocks away from the lodge and grassy areas. They should never be left unattended and must be extinguished once finished cooking.
SMOKING & CANDLES Smoking (including E-cigarettes) and candles are not allowed in any part of the lodges and a flat fee of £500 will be made if there is any evidence of this. Please do not leave cigarette butts lying on the ground beside the lodge, not only do they look unsightly but present a potential risk of fire.
INTERNET ACCESS Internet access is provided for guests’ use. You agree to reasonable and lawful usage of this service.
DOGS Well behaved dogs are allowed subject to prior confirmation and approval. Please add on the relevant dog surcharge at the time of booking. £30 per dog, per week or part week/per lodge entered). We allow a maximum of 2 dogs per property. Please also note that as the pet’s owner you are responsible for controlling your pet and clearing up after them - dogs play where children play, so please clean up after they foul and use the bins provided. If pets become a nuisance to other users and the situation cannot be resolved we reserve the right to request that the pet be removed from site.
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. Dog owners will be held responsible for any damage caused to the property and its contents by their dog and for any extra cleaning required.
Please note, it is just as important to pick up dog waste in the countryside as it is in urban areas. Dog waste can carry disease which is very harmful to livestock by contaminating pasture and water sources. Please help to minimise the risk by always picking up and responsibly disposing of your dog poop even in the most remote areas and by ensuring that dogs never stray into fields where livestock are kept.
WOOD BURNING STOVES (Twin Peaks, The Passing Place, The Wee Hideout) Wood-burning stoves may only be used once whoever is designated to operate the stove has read the instruction sheet (no one under the age of 18 is allowed to operate the stove). Operating / lit wood-burning stoves are not to be left unattended at any time. For your own safety, only wood and kindling should be burned in the wood-burner. Do not burn any rubbish or any other form of fuel or firelighters in the wood-burner.
A supply of wood is included for accommodation with wood-burning stoves. Additional supplies of wood and kindling may be available, during times when the site is serviced, for a reasonable charge.
