Terms and Conditions

In these Booking Conditions, “you” and “your” means all persons named on the booking (including anyone who is added or substituted at a later date). “We”, “us” and “our” means Gleddoch Resorts Ltd.

MAKING YOUR BOOKING
To make a booking, you may either book online (where available), telephone the hotel direct on 01475 540711. The person making the booking (“the party leader”) must be at least 18 and must be authorised to make the booking on the basis of these Booking Conditions by all persons named on the booking. By making a booking, the party leader confirms that he/she is so authorised and that all party members agree to be bound by these Booking Conditions. The party leader is responsible for making all payments due to the hotel concerned. Subject to availability, your arrangements will be confirmed by issuing a confirmation upon request by fax, email or post. This will be sent to the party leader or your travel agent. Please check this carefully as soon as you receive it. Contact us immediately if any information, which appears on the confirmation or any other document appears to be incorrect or incomplete as it may not be possible to make changes later. Subject to this, we regret we cannot accept any liability if we are not notified of any inaccuracy in any document within 14 days of our sending it out. We will do our best to rectify any mistake notified to us outside these time limits but you must meet any costs involved in doing so. The only exception to this requirement to meet costs is where the mistake in question was made by us and there is good reason why you did not tell us about it within these time limits.

RATES, PAYMENT, CHARGES & CANCELLATION
The price of your arrangements and the terms upon which payment, changes and cancellations are made will vary according to which arrangements you book. Please note that all rates are subject to availability.

OUR PRE-AUTHORISATION POLICY

If you are on an advance purchase rate or are charging the room bill back to a company, then a pre-authorisation will be taken of £50 per night up to a total of £100.

The pre-authorisation enables you to charge extras to your room bill and covers us for any incidentals and damages.

If a credit/debit card is not available, then a cash deposit must be given and a copy taken of the guest’s photo identification (either passport or driving license).

In respect of all arrangements requiring payment prior to the start of the arrangements in question, if we do not receive all payments due in full and on time, we are entitled to assume that you wish to cancel your booking. In this case, we will be entitled to keep all monies paid or due at that date and you must pay the cancellation charges shown above depending on the date we reasonably treat your booking as cancelled (on behalf of the hotel (s) concerned).

Payment for incidental extras (e.g. mini bars, telephone charges, etc.) must be made directly to the hotel before you check out.

AUTHENTICATION REQUEST
In order to authenticate your bank account Gleddoch Resorts Ltd will make a request for a £1 transaction. This is only a request for a transition and will be seen in your account as a ‘Pending Transaction’. Please note that the money does not get transferred from your account as the request is never settled with your bank or Credit Card Company. The length of time this authorization request will appear on your account will depend on the policy of your bank or Credit Card Company.

YOUR CONTRACT
A binding contract between you and Gleddoch Resorts Ltd comes into existence when we send your confirmation invoice to the party leader. Scottish Law will apply to our agreement and to any dispute or claim which arises between us out of it. Any such dispute or claim must be dealt with by the Courts of Scotland. You may however, choose the law and jurisdiction of England, Wales or Northern Ireland if you wish to do so. Changes to these Booking Conditions or the General Information shown in our website will only be valid if agreed by us in writing.

We reserve the right to correct errors in both advertised and confirmed prices. We will do so as soon as we become aware of the error. Please note, changes and errors occasionally occur.

FORCE MAJEURE
Except where otherwise expressly stated in these booking conditions, we regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected by or you otherwise suffer any damage or loss as a result of “force majeure”. In these Booking Conditions, “force majeure” means any event which the hotel could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity or actual threatened terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, fire and all similar events outside our control.

BEHAVIOUR
When you book with us, you accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you or any member of your party. Full payment for any such damage or loss must be paid direct at the time to the hotel or other supplier. If you fail to do so, you will be responsible for meeting any claims subsequently made against us (together with our own and the other party’s full legal costs) as a result of your actions. The hotel reserves the right at any time to terminate your stay or that of any member of your party due to misconduct, where justified in their reasonable opinion. No refunds will be given. Furthermore, we shall not be under any obligation whatsoever to pay compensation or meet any costs or expenses you may incur as a result of your stay being terminated.

SPECIAL REQUESTS AND MEDICAL PROBLEMS
If you have any special request, you must advise us at the time of booking. We regret that the hotel concerned cannot guarantee any request will be met unless we have written to you with specific confirmation that it will. Confirmation that a special request has been noted or passed on to the hotel or the inclusion of the special request on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation is not confirmation that the request will be met. We regret we cannot accept any conditional bookings, i.e. any booking which is specified to be conditional on the fulfilment of a particular request. All such bookings will be treated as “standard” bookings subject to the above provisions on special requests.

If you or any member of your party has any medical problem or disability which may affect your booking, please tell us before you confirm your booking so that we can advise as to the suitability of the chosen arrangements. In any event, you must give full details in writing at the time of booking. If the hotel reasonably feel unable to properly accommodate the particular needs of the person concerned, we reserve the right to decline their reservation or, if full details are not given at the time of booking, cancel when we become aware of these details.

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
You are responsible for having all proper travel documents and vouchers. If you are unable to travel or complete a stay by reason of not having proper documents you will not be entitled to any refund and we will not be liable for any cost or expense that you may incur as a result.

HOTEL INFORMATION
Gleddoch Resorts Ltd may withdraw or change facilities and services. If possible, we will inform you of any changes before you travel if we believe this will have a significant effect on your stay. Our photographs are intended to give you a general impression of the hotel. Variations can occur from room to room.

Meals: Gleddoch provides a full traditional breakfast. Bed and Breakfast means breakfast is the only meal included in the price. This may be a full traditional or continental breakfast. You will be advised at the time of booking. Dinner, Bed & Breakfast means breakfast and evening meal (or a la carte allowance) are included in the price. If you have any special dietary requirements please let us know before you travel, but note we cannot guarantee that the hotel can satisfy your request.

Rooms & facilities: Public facilities, e.g. bars and restaurants, may only open if there is sufficient demand, particularly in low season. Hotels may have to redecorate or refurbish when you are visiting, which may mean the temporary closure of public rooms or facilities. Rooms may be twin or double. A double bed may consist of twins pushed or joined together. Hotel rooms may be allocated in any part of the property (including annexes, new extensions). Please note that rooms sleeping three/four persons may offer any combination of single, double and foldaway beds. Older, more traditional hotels may have specific single rooms and these are likely to be small. On the other hand, many hotels allocate a twin or double for use as a ‘single’ room.

Check-in: On arrival, your room is normally available after 3pm. If you plan to arrive after 10pm please advise the hotel directly by calling 01475 540711. Failure to confirm late arrival with the hotel s may result in your room being resold, and our cancellation terms will apply.

Pets: Pets are accepted only at the discretion of the hotel and are usually not allowed in public areas. If you intend to bring any pets this should be indicated on your initial enquiry. Charges may be made for pets. Guide dogs are specifically excluded from this policy and are welcome at the hotel.
