 Terms and Conditions for winter stays

• There is a normally a heating surcharge of £30 per week from October through March. However, during the peak weeks of Christmas and New Year, there is no surcharge – central heating is included in the rent.

It does not often snow at this altitude in the southwest of Scotland, which has a generally mild climate. Over the last 25 years there has only been snow once or twice at Christmas. However, snow is possible: if it falls, the cottage is insulated and warm and can be very beautiful! but you should be aware of the following conditions and advice:

• If snow or other bad weather closes main roads or otherwise prevents you from setting out on your holiday, or from arriving, we will be unable to refund your booking: so please make sure you have travel insurance.
• If snow falls we will arrange for the track up to the cottage to be cleared to allow access, and we will supply grit and salt as needed.
• If there is persistent snow and we cannot clear the track, or if you prefer, we will arrange for you to park down at Genoch farm: from where it is a half-mile walk up to the cottage.
• We suggest that because of the small risk of snow, a winter visit is not suitable for anyone elderly or with any medical condition that make it difficult for them to walk. Please bear in mind that small children may need to be carried!
