Making a Booking

To secure your booking via Airbnb, please comply with the payment terms specified on their website. Cancellations of Airbnb bookings will be according to the terms specified by Airbnb.

If booking direct with Unloch Scotland, we require 50% of your fee by bank transfer to secure your booking. For direct bookings, balances are due at least 30 days before arrival.  Non-payment of the balance by the due date will be assumed as a cancellation, which will forfeit your deposit.  Cancellations of direct bookings made fewer than 30 days before your arrival are non-refundable.

Cancellations & Alterations

For Airbnb bookings, please adhere to their cancellation policy as specified on their website.

For direct bookings, please make any cancellations by email to office@unlochscotland.com at least 30 days before your arrival. All direct bookings are provisional until confirmed by an email from Unloch Scotland. Direct bookings can only be made via bank transfer.

In the rare event that we may need to cancel your booking with us, the law of ‘force majeure’ applies.  This could include adverse weather conditions such as violent storms or heavy snowfall which would make travelling a serious risk.  Our liability to you is limited to the refund of any payment you have already made to us. 

All Airbnb refunds will be returned as per Airbnb policy. All direct booking refunds will be returned to the bank account specified by the payee.
