You can book activities, sessions to learn about Permaculture, Nature Connection or other exciting activities on our marketplace. We offer kid activities too.

Your booking is for the people named or included in the booking. Please let us know in advance if you would like to change the people staying with us.

Additional overnight guests may only stay with our prior permission and any applicable additional charge must be paid.

Please do not transfer or give your booking to somebody else without our prior permission.

Day visitors are only permitted with our prior permission and must comply with our site rules while visiting. They must not stay overnight unless we have specifically agreed this in advance.

We reserve the right to refuse additional guests or visitors where this would exceed the permitted occupancy, create a safety or safeguarding concern, or otherwise conflict with our site rules.

What your booking includes

Your booking includes the accommodation, facilities and services specifically stated in your booking confirmation.

Information elsewhere on our website about activities, workshops, events, communal activities or other facilities does not mean that these will necessarily be available or included during your stay unless they are specifically included in your booking.

From time to time, particular facilities or activities may be unavailable because of maintenance, weather, safety considerations or other operational reasons. Where this happens, we will try to minimise any significant impact on your stay.

If a significant part of what you have specifically booked cannot be provided, we will deal with this fairly and in accordance with your legal rights.

Cancellation and Refund Policy

We understand that plans sometimes change. Please let us know as soon as possible if you need to cancel your booking, as this gives us the best opportunity to offer your place to somebody else.

If you cancel more than 4 weeks before your stay

If you cancel more than 4 weeks before the scheduled start of your stay, we will refund the amount you have paid.

Where permitted by law, we may deduct any non-recoverable third-party payment costs that we have actually incurred as a direct result of receiving or refunding your payment.

If you cancel within 4 weeks of your stay

Cancellations made within 4 weeks of the scheduled start of your stay may cause us a significant loss because it becomes more difficult to fill the space at short notice.

We will make reasonable efforts to offer the cancelled space to another guest.

If we are able to replace all or part of your booking, we will refund the corresponding amount that we have recovered from the replacement booking, less any reasonable costs or losses directly resulting from your cancellation.

If we are unable to replace your booking, we may retain the amount reasonably necessary to cover the loss caused by your cancellation. We will take into account any costs we have saved as a result of your cancellation and will not retain more than our actual reasonable loss.

We strongly recommend taking out suitable travel insurance as soon as you book.

Travel disruption

Your booking covers your stay at Rubha Phoil and does not include your transport to or from us unless we have expressly agreed otherwise.

If Rubha Phoil remains open and your booked accommodation is available, but you are unable to reach us because of circumstances affecting your journey — for example ferry, train or flight cancellations, severe weather affecting your travel, vehicle breakdown or other transport disruption — this will normally be treated as a cancellation by you and the cancellation terms above will apply.

We strongly recommend travel insurance that includes appropriate cancellation and travel disruption cover.

If we have to cancel your stay

If we cancel your booking and are unable to provide the stay you booked, we will refund the amount you paid us for the cancelled stay.

Unless required by law, we are not responsible for separate arrangements or expenses you have made with third parties, such as flights, ferries, trains, car hire or other accommodation. For this reason, we strongly recommend suitable travel insurance.

Nothing in this policy excludes or restricts any rights you have under applicable consumer law.

Events outside our control

Sometimes circumstances outside our reasonable control may prevent us from providing all or part of your stay. These could include severe weather, fire, flooding, prolonged failure of essential utilities, government restrictions, evacuation orders or other serious events that we could not reasonably prevent.

If this happens, we will contact you as soon as reasonably possible and will make reasonable efforts to find a practical solution.

If we are unable to provide your booked stay as a result, we will refund you in accordance with your legal rights and the cancellation terms above.

We are not responsible for losses arising from separate arrangements you have made with third parties, such as travel or other accommodation, except where the law requires otherwise.

Serious breaches of our rules

We want Rubha Phoil to be a safe and respectful place for guests, residents, staff, volunteers and visitors.

We may terminate a stay where a guest commits a serious breach of our terms or site rules. This may include violence or threats, harassment, illegal activity, deliberate or reckless damage, behaviour that creates a significant safety risk, or serious or repeated breaches of our rules.

Where it is reasonable and safe to do so, we will first explain the problem and give the guest an opportunity to correct their behaviour. In serious cases, particularly where safety is at risk, we may require a guest to leave immediately.

Where a stay is terminated because of the guest’s serious breach, we may retain from any unused part of the booking the amount reasonably necessary to cover the losses and costs caused by that breach, including damage where applicable. This does not affect either party’s rights under applicable law.

Payments made using Rubha Rocks

Bookings paid for using Rubha Rocks are also subject to the separate Rubha Rocks / Virtual Village terms and conditions that applied when the Rubha Rocks were acquired and when the booking was made.

Any refund due in relation to a booking paid in Rubha Rocks will be dealt with in accordance with those terms and applicable law.

Where a booking was paid partly in pounds sterling and partly in Rubha Rocks, we will explain how any refund is calculated.

Nothing in this policy limits any rights that cannot legally be excluded or restricted.

Booking and formation of contract

Submitting the booking form is a booking request and does not create a confirmed booking.

If we can accommodate your stay, we will accept your booking request and send you an invoice and payment instructions. Your requested dates will be held for a few days per the payment period stated on the invoice.

Your booking is confirmed and the contract between us is formed when we receive the required payment.

Please check your booking confirmation and tell us promptly if anything is incorrect.

If you make a booking on behalf of other guests, you are responsible for making them aware of the terms that apply to their stay.

Liability, personal belongings and damage

Guests are responsible for taking reasonable care of themselves, their belongings, the accommodation, facilities and surrounding property during their stay.

Personal belongings brought onto the property remain the responsibility of the guest. We are not responsible for loss, theft or damage to personal belongings except where the loss or damage results from something for which we are legally responsible.

Guests may be responsible for the reasonable cost of repairing or replacing property that they deliberately or negligently damage, beyond ordinary wear and tear. Please tell us promptly if anything is damaged or broken so that we can deal with it fairly and efficiently.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so. In particular, nothing excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.

Problems, complaints and disputes

If you experience a problem during your stay, please tell us as soon as reasonably possible. This gives us an opportunity to investigate the issue and, where appropriate, put things right while you are still here.

If the matter cannot be resolved during your stay, please contact us afterwards using the contact details provided in your booking confirmation. Please include your booking details and a clear description of the problem.

We will consider complaints fairly and aim to respond within a reasonable time.

Your booking confirmation will identify the person or legal entity providing your accommodation and give the relevant contact details and address.

These terms and your booking are governed by the applicable laws of Scotland. Any dispute will be dealt with by the courts that have jurisdiction under applicable law.

Nothing in this complaints or disputes procedure affects any statutory rights or remedies available to you as a consumer.
