PAYMENT.
Unless otherwise stated, a deposit of 25% of the rental is payable upon booking. The balance shall be payable 4 weeks before the commencement of the holiday let. If the balance of the rental is not paid in full by the due date, this shall be deemed as a cancellation of the contract by the Client. For bookings made less than 10 weeks prior to the commencement of the rental the total fee is payable at the time of booking. Please note that if the arrival date is within 2 weeks of booking, we are unable to accept payment by cheque. PLEASE SEE OUR COVID-19 SECTION FOR CHANGES TO THESE DETAILS.

Any request to amend a booking must be made initially in writing. If the amendment request is successful, there may be an increase in the rental payable. The Client should be aware that it may not be possible to amend the booking in question.
PERIOD OF LET
The holiday commences, unless otherwise notified, at 4 pm on the day of arrival and terminates at 10 am on the day of departure. Mable's Cottage Skye is available on weekly lets from Friday to Friday. Shorter breaks of 3 or more days may be available upon request.
The client is obliged to vacate the property without demand at the termination of the holiday let.
