The Booker acknowledges that he/she is authorised to accept the following Terms and Conditions on behalf of all Guests and that all Guests are aware of the booking Terms and Conditions and have agreed to be bound by these terms and have acknowledged the following:
The maximum number of people who will be staying at the Property during the booking period.
The booking Terms and Conditions shall be subject to Scott law and time shall be of the essence.
The Booker has agreed that they will act as principal and always has absolute liability for all the Guests.

The Rental
The Booker and the Owner acknowledge that these Terms & Conditions form the entire agreement between the Owner and the Booker and where any of the booking Terms and Conditions are deemed unenforceable then all other parts of these Terms and Conditions shall remain in full force and operation and shall be enforceable between the parties.
The use of the accommodation and facilities are entirely at the risk of the Guests.
The Owner accepts no responsibility for injury, loss or damages to the Guests, their belongings or their motor vehicles. Guests must make a full risk assessment of their use of any equipment on the Property, including but not limited to infant and child equipment.
The rental of the Property does not include or guarantee the availability of additional sporting or entertainment activities, which may be available to be booked separately with the Owner.
The rental confers upon the Booker the right to occupy for a holiday, as mentioned in the Housing Act 1988 Schedule 1 Paragraph 9 and any equivalent or similar provision under the laws of Scotland, and the Booker acknowledges that the rental granted by these Terms and Conditions is not an assured tenancy and that no statutory periodic tenancy or protected tenancy or equivalent or similar tenancies under the laws of Scotland will arise.
Unless on a pre-agreed catered package, the rental is on a self-catering basis.
All bedding and towels are included
Bookings and Payments
Payments can be made by credit/debit card or bank transfer.
To confirm a reservation a deposit of 20% of the total booking amount is payable.
The booking will only be confirmed once the Owner has received the deposit from the Booker.
The remaining balance must be paid no less than 8 (eight) weeks prior to the Guests’ arrival date.
If a booking is made within 8 (eight) weeks of the arrival date, then the full amount is payable.
All group bookings (10> guests) are subject to a £500 Security/Damage Deposit.
***For Exclusive Use Bookings such as weddings and events where the whole site is rented the balance is payable 12 (twelve) weeks prior to arrival.***
The Owner will endeavour to send to the Booker full details of access and directions to the Property 1 week prior to arrival, together with a reminder to pay the Security Deposit.
Refunds
To secure a reservation a 20% deposit is required. The deposit paid for group bookings is non-refundable in the event of a cancellation.
Once a balance is paid in line with the timelines outlined in the Bookings and Payments section, if a customer decides to cancel, the fees outlined in our Cancellations section apply. As balance payments become non-refundable in the 8 weeks prior to booking commencement we strongly advise guests to ensure they are able to stay with us prior to making the payment and/or to insure against unavoidable cancellations.
Arrival and Departure Times
Arrival times: Anytime after 4:00PM
Departure times: by 10:30AM unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Owner.
Should a late check out make us liable for extra costs (e.g. compensation to the next booker) we reserve the right to pass on these costs to you.
Free parking is offered on our premises for the duration of the stay at the booker’s own risk. Guest are requested to park their cars in the main car park. Cars can be taken to the property to unload their belongings but will need to be parked in the main car park to ensure emergency access is available to all properties
No refund is given for an early check out or no show.
Responsibilities and Damage Deposit
The number of persons stipulated for the Property, as advertised on the Owner’s website or literature, must not be exceeded under any circumstance.
Only the number of adults, children and infants agreed between the Booker and the Owner at the time of booking may occupy the premises at any time, day or night, unless the Booker has received written permission from the Owner prior to the rental.
The Booker must ensure that the property, its surrounding area and contents are used in a proper and careful manner.
The Booker is also responsible to take reasonable care of the Property and ensure that the Property and all equipment is left clean and tidy and any furniture or bedding which has been moved is returned to its original place.

The Booker is responsible for any damage caused to the property and its contents by improper use or through accident. Any damage to the outside and inside of the property, fixtures, fittings, furniture or cooking equipment will be charged to the booker in all cases.
In the event of loss or damage being discovered during our check-out inspection which has not been reported, we reserve the right to deduct from the damage deposit the cost of repairing, replacing or making good the loss/damage.
Please note that the paying of the Damage Deposit does not limit the Booker’s liability for loss or damage to the Property. You will be expected to pay the full amount of loss or repair.
If the cost to rectify the damage caused or loss incurred exceeds the value of the damage deposit the Booker agrees to reimburse Boreland Loch Tay with the balance outstanding on demand.

The Owner cannot accept a change of rental property or details of a booking once the booking deposit has been received. However, occasionally the Owner can accept an alteration of dates, notwithstanding any obligations incurred if a change of dates is requested within less than 8 weeks of a Booker’s arrival date.
The Owner aims to ensure that information is accurately conveyed on the website. Any changes to the Property and its facilities will be notified to you as reasonably practical. We cannot accept responsibility for any changes or claims to the area amenities mentioned on our website.
Any complaints must be notified in the first instance to the onsite manager or another member of staff immediately, so that they can investigate the circumstances and take any necessary action. In no circumstances can compensation be made for any complaints that are made after the date of departure, or where you have denied or prevented us or our agents the opportunity to try to put matters right during the Guests’ stay.
Occasionally accidents do happen, and any losses must be paid for. The Property will be checked and cleaned before the arrival. Should you find on arrival any damage or non-working items you will notify the onsite manager or another member of staff immediately, so that matters can be rectified.
The Owner has the right to access the Property at any time during the rental, after reasonable notice has been given by the Owner, or without notice in an emergency.
Loch Tay Water Access
Guests are more than welcome to use Boreland Loch Tay’s own private beach. However, for safety reasons and to prevent trespassing, the booker must first seek permission from the staff on site prior to use.
There is a sign posted path to this private shoreline, which will be pointed out to guests as required. If in doubt over the location of the private shoreline, it is the responsibility of the Guests to ask the Owner’s staff to show them the location.
There is no Loch access available to Guests between Boreland Farm’s own private shoreline and the public shore in the village of Kenmore. All other points of access to Loch Tay in between are privately owned and under no circumstances are Guests permitted to use any of these Loch access points.
Failure to adhere to the above conditions may result in the loss of the Security Deposit.
