And now for the boring stuff…
To make a reservation you have to:
- Be at least 18 years-old.
- Accept these terms and conditions on behalf of all members of your party.
- Accept the responsibility of settling all outstanding balances when you leave.
All of our rates include VAT on the current rate at the time of booking and are subject to change without notice.
Hydro Health
Our hotels, restaurants and activities are in full swing but we’ve put several things in place including extra biocidal cleaning and enhanced hygiene practices for every nook, cranny and surface throughout the hotel.
Help us protect yourself and others by getting the whole family to:
- Avoid travelling if you have symptoms of Covid-19 or have been advised to self-isolate.
- Wash your hands. If this is not possible hand sanitiser will do.
- Got a cough? Need to sneeze? Catch it with a tissue and bin it.
- Got a habit of touching your face? Best to break this habit if you can.
You’ll find more information on what we’re doing to protect your family here.
If you’ve booked a hotel advance purchase (Pay Now, Pay Less) package:
It’s our best value for money rate, no doubt about it. But the main reason for this is that you’ll pay the full amount when you book, Sorry, pay now, pay less is non-refundable and cannot be cancelled nor transferred to another date. All other special offers are non-refundable and also cannot be cancelled. We advise that if you have travel insurance which covers cancellation, you may be able to claim through your insurance provider.
We find that most of the time, cancellations are due to unforeseen circumstances. But, to be as fair as we can to all of our customers, we’ll stick to the cancellation terms and charges that apply, whatever the circumstances are.
If you’ve booked a hotel best flexible package:
We don’t even ask for a deposit, so you can pay the full balance of your stay when you arrive.
Our best flexible packages allow for cancellations up to 48 hours before you arrive with payment taken on check-in. Up until this point, you’re free to transfer your booking to other available dates. If changing date, a different rate may apply as original rates will not be applicable. But, if you choose to cancel after 3:00pm, 48 hours before you’re due to arrive, then we can’t offer an exchange, and payment will still be taken from your credit card. In this situation, the only way to get your money back is if you’re covered by holiday insurance for an insurable reason.
In some cases, we might not have rooms or packages available on your new dates, so some changes may not be possible – but our team can advise you on this.
If you’ve booked into the bunkhouse at our Kingshouse Hotel:
All booking at our bunkhouse are fully pre-payable, non-refundable or transferable and your credit card will be charged with the full amount upon receipt of the booking.
We find that most of the time, cancellations are due to unforeseen circumstances. But, to be as fair as we can to all of our customers, we’ll stick to the cancellation terms and charges that apply, whatever the circumstances are.
Special packages
In addition to these terms and conditions mentioned above, some special packages (e.g. Christmas and New Year etc) may have additional terms attached to them, these will be displayed at the time of booking, and they’ll form part of your contract.
If we need to change your booking:
Even if we’ve given you a confirmation, we still have the right to refuse or change any booking. On the rare occasion that this might happen, we’d notify you as soon as possible.
You’d then have the choice to accept our changes, change your booking to another hotel we operate, change to an alternative date, (although we can’t guarantee that the price will be the same, and if it’s more, you’ll need to make up the difference) or you can cancel your booking.
If you do cancel because we’ve made a change, you’ll be refunded any money you’ve paid in advance of your stay, although we won’t be liable for anything beyond that without written confirmation prior to cancelling.
What’s included in your package?
Your package may contain a number of included items, such as breakfast, dinner, childcare etc. These will be detailed at the time of booking, and you’ll need to make a reservation for these items so you can be sure to take full advantage of what’s included. It’s up to you to use these and there’s no refund for unused components of your package.
Check-in and registration
So you can make the most of your stay, we’ve introduced several ways to reduce your time doing the boring bits so you can get on to the good bits.
A week before you're due to arrive, you’ll receive a pre-registration email – if you’re able to fill this in before your check-in day, it will speed up the check-in and let you get on with having fun.
Once in reception, head to the desk and pick up your key card. We’ll take a mandatory pre-authorisation of £50.00 per night from your credit/debit card on check-in per room to allow you to charge everything back to your bedroom during your stay. This is released back into your account by your bank within 14 working days. Please note, the hotel is not holding your money.
Arriving from across the water? Be sure to keep your (and the rest of the family’s) passport handy as we require a few details. Without it, you may not be able to stay but you’ll still have to pay what’s owed for the accommodation.
Check-out
Try our speedy check-out. On the morning of your departure, you’ll receive an email with your bill details. If all is ok, just click accept and leave your key in your room when you leave. Heads-up, your key will not work after you have done this so it’s best not to do this until you are ready to leave.
If you’ve any queries with your bill, just give our reception team a call on “0” from your room.
We know you won't want to leave after your stay but we're sorry, if you check-out late we'll have to charge you £50 for every hour you are late.
Gratuity Charge
COVID-19 has made our hotel cash-free. To make it easy to get tips to our team, if you want to, we’ve added an optional service charge of 10%. Every penny of this is shared between our Food & Beverage team members. The service charge is entirely optional – if you want it removed you need only ask.
Other terms:
Although we make every effort to ensure the accuracy of the information set out on our websites and marketing campaigns, we’re only human, so if you spot any discrepancies between our offers and your confirmation email, make sure to flag these up to us as the confirmation is what we go from. We reserve the right to vary, amend, supplement or cancel any of the information or offers featured on our websites, email campaigns, or otherwise at any time.
All details are correct at the time of going to print, however, they may change from time to time.
Under the Hotel Proprietors Act, persons under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
Images shown on our website and other marketing materials are representative of the bedrooms, bathrooms and public areas available at the hotel. However, even our rooms that are within the same room type tend to differ slightly so your room might be different to the ones that are shown.
We accept no liability in the event that any of your personal belongings or those of your party are lost and/or damaged within the hotel. If the property of the resort is deliberately or negligently damaged by you or any member of your party, you’ll be fully responsible for the repair or replacement of the property in question.
We have some house rules and policy for the consumption of alcohol, to ensure that each of Crieff Hydro Family of Hotels can operate as a licensed premise. We ask that all of our guests familiarise themselves and adhere to our house rules and policy for the sale of alcohol, regulated under the Licensing Act (Scotland) 2005. You’ll find these rules clearly displayed in all of our bar areas.
And that’s all folks. If you made it all the way through, give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back.
