The village of Gardenstown is built into a hill. Please be aware that the cottage is accessed up some steep steps. The 1860's cottage retains much of its original charm including exposed floorboards throughout.

The owners have no control over other businesses in the area and will not be responsible for any facilities which are unavailable.

The Hirer warrants that the property let is to used for the purposes of a holiday and so accepts that the letting is a holiday let to which (Section 12 (2) and paragraph 8 of Schedule 4 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1988 applies, namely, "a tenancy the purpose of which is to confer on the tenant the right to occupy the house for a holiday")

It is the tenants responsibility to be at the cottage on the due date and any delay or inaccessibility incurred due to detrimental travel or weather conditions is not the responsibility of the owners.
