Terms & Conditions

Letting Arrangements and Payments

The cottages and fishings are normally let weekly from Sunday to Sunday. We ask you to arrive after 4pm and leave by 10am on the morning of departure.  Upon booking we will send a booking form to be signed and returned to us along with your deposit of £100 per week, once we have received this then the booking is confirmed.  We ask for the full price (not the balance) to be paid 6 weeks before arrival at Kirkwood or else cancellation may be assumed and the deposit retained. Normally we return the deposit (minus charges for fuel, purchases, hiring and any damages) within four weeks of the holiday. We accept payment by cheque (made payable to Kirkwood Cottages), debit cards (at no extra cost) and credit cards (with a surcharge of 3%).

Electricity is charged extra and will be deducted from your deposit, as is any other fuel such as coal, which is supplied at cost to all the traditional cottages with coal fires.  Any other costs incurred here are normally deducted from the deposit.

Pets are normally accepted, but please ask in advance.

Short Breaks

Short breaks are increasingly popular. Our prices vary according to the days required, please contact us for a price. However, we apply a minimum charge of  £150 however short the let.  Short breaks can only be booked at the last minute, i.e. within two weeks of the desired date, at popular times of the year.

Fishings Rules & Regulations

Permits are for named individuals, i.e. we do not allow rod sharing, but we allow daily substitutes so long as we are informed.  This policy ensures that beats are not heavily fished and there is always somewhere to fish without interference.  Visitors should carry their permits with them at all times or display it as a car pass in any parked vehicle. Normal fishing rules apply - full details on request. In Scotland there is no game fishing on Sunday. Once booked and paid for, we do not accept cancellations for fishing.

 You do NOT need an Environment Agency rod licence in Scotland.
