Hey There!
These are unprecedented times and here at McNeill Holiday Lets, we try to keep our family, our guests and our community safe.
We do all our own duties, laundry, housekeeping, gardening, you name it, we do it. So we really appreciate your help, and understanding when it comes to lateral flow tests, cancelling your trip if you are ill, letting us know of any illness either prior to your stay, or during it, and some light housework during your stay.
For all these we are ever so thankful.

In the event of your having to cancel your holiday, the balance of your payment would still be liable unless you, a member of your family have a positive covid-19 diagnosis, or you have been contacted by the test and protect service.

Again, we advise guests to take out the relevant insurance.

Covid-19 what to expect from us:
​
McNeill Holiday Lets are doing everything that we can, and to the best of our ability, to keep our guests reassured, safe and to help prevent the virus spreading. To help do this, we have and are:
​
-
undertaken a risk assessment to ensure the safety of our guests.
-
We will be leaving as many days between bookings as we can.
-
We have completed and passed an infection prevention and control (including Covid-19) course, and as always will be thoroughly cleaning the property at changeovers and using products approved for use on covid-19.
-
We will be wearing ppe, when completing changeovers. (masks, gloves and aprons).
-
We will provide a small amount of hand sanitizer and cleaning product for use during your stay.
-
We will be continuing with our non-contact check in and check out process.
-
We will be cleaning and sanitising keys before each arrival.
-
If you need us to visit the property for any reason during your stay, we will wear masks and gloves and practice social distancing.
-
We always wash throws between guests but will be removing some extra items from the property, especially if we only have a few guests staying at the property, this will make changeovers easier for us and will also help with the disinfecting of the property.
-
All our linen, towels, shower curtains, bathmats, pillow, duvet, and mattress protectors are changed between guests, this will continue.
-
We will try to dishwasher on hot cycle, all crockery, cutlery, and glasses before your stay, but suggest you wash everything in hot soapy water on your arrival prior to use.
-
Remote controls will be cleaned with anti-viral cleaner between guests.
-
We know how important the books, leaflets, DVDs, computer games & consoles and board games are to your stay, so decided to keep them for your use. We are unable to disinfect each of these in between guests so if you wish to use them, we recommend that you wash your hands before and after use and if you wish you can clean them with the disinfectant spray/wipes/product.
Your help:
​
We would appreciate your help and understanding, and would ask that you inform us immediately and do not travel, if you, a member of your party or any of your parties family members fall ill with any symptoms, who are asymptomatic of, or test positive for covid-19, we will offer you a full refund on covid-19 cancellations. We would also ask you to please follow any instructions left for you in the property as it is important for you, the guest but also to us, our family, and our community.

In Scotland from 21st March 2022, face coverings are no longer mandatory but we ask that you please use your common sense to help keep our community safe and try to observe social distancing, and still wear face coverings. Wearing face coverings helps to protect those around you, not just yourself. Thank you so much.
