4 Bedroom Family Home Overlooking Portree

Covid-19 update. We are very conscious of guests’ concerns about Covid-19. The measures which we have taken to build confidence include:
• The cleaner will disinfect throughout the cottage, putting extra effort into disinfecting the hard surfaces and high contact points.
• Both owner and cleaner have completed an online cleaning & disinfecting instructional course, which lays emphasis on avoiding cross-contamination.
• Disinfectants used in the house conform to British Standard EN14476.
• On arrival, the caretaker will welcome you from a distance but not enter the cottage with you. Instead she will telephone you after you have had time to settle in, and will talk you through various aspects of the cottage.

Before your arrival we will ask you to:
• Confirm that you do not have symptoms of coronavirus, and have not been in contact with anyone with a confirmed case of coronavirus before you set off for Skye.
• Agree that, if you or any of your party should fall ill while they are in Balmacara Cottage and needs to stay on there to self-isolate, you will pay the going rate to me yourself and reclaim from your insurance as necessary. Please bear in mind that we have a responsibility towards guests who have booked after you.
• Agree that, if you or any of your party falls ill after leaving Balmacara Cottage, you will let me have the details without delay so that I can warn the caretaker, cleaner and anyone else affected.


Changeover day is on a Friday, but shorter stay lets are welcome if they fit within my Friday-Friday routine.
