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 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.

LOST PROPERTY

The hotel takes no responsibility for items or property lost or left on the premises or within the grounds as per Hotel Proprietors Act 1956.
Any lost property not claimed within 4 weeks will be disposed of at our discretion.
If you have contacted us about an item(s) of lost property we will confirm the cost of postage to return this to you.

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.

The terms of commission, including rates and payment schedules, will be detailed in the partnership agreement. Bookings made through unauthorized channels or partners not pre-approved by Crieff Hydro Family of Hotels will not be eligible for commission payments.

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.

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.

High chair policy

High chairs are considered part of the total guest count and will be included as covers in your reservation. This ensures we can allocate adequate space and provide a comfortable dining experience for everyone in your party.

Pram policy

To ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all guests, we kindly ask that prams be left outside the restaurant entrance. Please note that prams are left at your own risk, as the restaurant cannot take responsibility for any loss or damage.

And that’s all folks. If you made it all the way through, give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back.
