Please leave the property in a clean and tidy state. Dishwasher on or emptied, bbq and oven grease free, all rubbish emptied and put in the correct coloured bins outside. We reserve the right to charge an extra £35 if the accommodation is not left in a satisfactory condition.

Guests

Numbers must not exceed those agreed at the time of booking and during their stay, must ensure that no disturbance is caused to other residents.

Security

Please ensure that the property is secure when absent or sleeping. This includes windows. If they are on a secure latch, that is allowable, however, if not, this could lead to rain or thieves entering the property. The owners reserve the right to enter the property at all reasonable times for the purposes of inspection, to carry out any necessary or emergency repairs/maintenance or to shut windows if left open. When possible, notice will be given as the privacy of our guests is paramount.

Damages and Breakages

Please let us know about any damage or breakages. We do not take a surety deposit but trust that our guests will be fair in informing us of any damages/breakages and, where necessary, contribute towards the costs of repair/replacement. Cleaning
The properties are thoroughly cleaned between lets, including during Covid-19 using the approved cleaning protocol for self-catering. Noddsdale Estate is a member of the Association of Scottish Self Caterers and has undertaken the cleaning protocol training. We ask, as part of this booking agreement, that you leave the property as clean and tidy as possible, strip beds and place linen in the bags provided along with towels. As you leave, please turn down the boiler and leave windows open but in a secure state to ventilate the property.

Dogs

We welcome well behaved dogs in Willow Cottage only.

Complaints

Every effort is made to ensure that you have an enjoyable stay. However, if you have any problem or cause for complaint, it is essential that you contact us immediately to give us the chance to resolve it. We value your custom and would like you to return and tell your friends and family about us! We are on site and will do our best to resolve any problem.

Cancellations by us

If for any reason we have to cancel your booking in advance due to circumstances beyond our control for example fire, flood, exceptional weather conditions, epidemics, destruction/damage to the property (“force majeure“) you will be refunded the full amount of the booking. If we terminate your holiday early for the above reasons 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.
If you test positive for Coronavirus or develop symptoms during your stay you must inform us immediately. If you are well enough to travel you should return home and self-isolate in accordance with the current Government guidance at the time.

Cancellation by You

Cancellations must be immediately notified to us in writing (preferably by email) and once received we will confirm and process your cancellation request.

National or Regional Lockdowns in either your area or our own, meaning the booking cannot be fulfilled will result in a full refund with no administrative charges.
Illnesses, including Covid and Self Isolation, or any other reason why you cannot take your holiday are at your own risk and therefore we strongly recommend you take out your own travel insurance for UK holidays which covers booking cancellations. If you choose not to take out such insurance, then you accept responsibility for any loss that you may incur due to your cancellation.

Refunds

All refunds, except for those in a National or Regional Lockdown affecting your area or our own, will be subject to a deduction of a non-refundable administration fee of 5% of the total cost of your stay.

Between 4-6 weeks before arrival 50% refund less 5% admin fee
Between 2-4 weeks before arrival 25% refund less 5% admin fee
Between 2-1 weeks before arrival 10% refund less 5% admin fee
Less than 1 week before arrival No refund

However, if the property is re-booked, refunds will be given up to the value of the new booking less the admin fee of 5% which will be given shortly after the original start date of your booking.

 
 
What our guests say

Willow Cottage (Noddsdale) had everything needed for a carefree holiday/break in North Ayrshire. The cottage was equipped to the highest standard and just a couple of miles from Largs in an extremely picturesque location - ideal for exploring the coast and popping across to the islands.

Wonderful!

Faultless

Willow Cottage is very well equipped and comfortable. It’s in a super location, close to the town of Largs yet very peaceful. There’s excellent walking straight from the front door. We had a most relaxing week there and the lovely weather was a huge bonus. Jane made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be back.

Close to home, but a world away!

We had a lovely week at Willow Cottage. Everything within the cottage is comfortable and high end. The fully equipped kitchen was excellent. In particular I would like to mention the beds as many rentals fall down in this area, the beds were extremely comfortable. Walking from the cottage up through the glen leads to some breathtaking views and the walk into Largs is only about two miles. Thanks to Chris and Jane for being so hospitable.
