Pre Holiday & Arrival Information

Before you start your holiday with us please read the important information provided on the following pages carefully:

  • Your Questions Answered
  • Getting Started
  • Typical Itinerary

We do hope this answers any queries you may have, however, should you need more information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We would very much appreciate if (you have not already done so at the time of booking) you could please advise us of your response to the few questions below and email the answers to us at least 7 days prior to your arrival. You can also call us to provide the information. It may be necessary for us to contact you during your journey to Inverness, therefore, if possible please state a mobile telephone number which will be switched on. 
Please note that payment for bicycle hire is required in advance, due to the limited amount of hire bikes available.

We usually email you these questions once you paid your hire balance in full. You may have already provided some of the details when making your booking, so you can just skip those questions.
Thank you very much for your assistance. 

1) Will you be parking any cars with us?

Please state how many cars and include the registration numbers, where possible. 
Should you require a space for a larger vehicle, such as a motor home, caravan or camper, it is important to contact us well in advance to discuss whether we can accommodate your request, as there are only limited spaces available for large vehicles. 
We may also have to limit the number of cars per booking,
however if this is the case we will advise well in advance to suggest alternative car parking facilities (where parking charges are applicable).
