We are already receiving quite a number of advance reservations for 2012 at Aberfeldy Cottages. This is maybe because we offer 4 star cottages at 3 star prices (same prices as last year and all the years before that) and throw in a Membership Card that entitles you to discounts on 30+ activities, restaurants, attractions and services in the local area. It may also be because we like to look after all our customers and they tend to come back.   You may feel that it is very early to start planning next year’s holiday and it is also perhaps yet another expense that you can currently do without thinking about. This is, however, about shrewd financial planning and not having to find an large sum of money this time next year if you wish a well deserved summer holiday. You won’t have the worry that you really can’t afford it because that value-for-money holiday may already be fully paid. In the summer months, we start from as little as £60.00 per person for a week in a 4-star cottage. That’s caravan and camping prices! Please read on to see how we are making it as simple and as cheap as possible for you to reserve the week of your choice and start an easy payment plan should you wish to consider a self catering cottage holiday in stunningly beautiful Highland Perthshire in 2012. The other benefit of booking now is that your pet will come free, saving you £20.00.    Would you believe that only £15.00 per week would fully pay for a summer holiday for five or six in a full spec, luxury cottage with two bathrooms, a Jacuzzi bath, a sauna, conservatory, etc, etc.    If you wish to see the current cottage prices and availability for 2012, (or for that matter 2011 or our special offer £275.00 winter breaks) please click on Prices and Availability and send an email to geoff@aberfeldycottages.co.uk with your thoughts.   You should also be aware that, if at any time you have to cancel your holiday for any reason, we will fully refund all monies paid once we have re-let the property. Given sufficient notice, we nearly always manage to do this, so there is no need to buy expensive insurance cover. All in all, a clever, economic, risk free way to secure your holiday in this glorious corner of Scotland with every conceivable amenity within the cottages and a multitude of recreational activities and visitor attractions on the doorstep. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Go for it. For rapid On-line Booking click here   We like you to reserve your cottage well in advance and give you rewards for doing so. The first reward you get is having the comfort of securing the first class accommodation that you wanted, at the price that suits you and at the exact time when you want it. To enable you to budget better, provided you book more than five months in advance, we offer a Direct Debit payment system at no extra cost to you. The money comes securely out of your account each month till the holiday arrives. A number of our guests now reserve the following year when they leave and make Direct Debit payments throughout the 12 months. That way, there is no great credit card shock nearer the holiday. If credit card shocks don’t bother you we are also pleased to take credit card payments via the secure server on our web site http://www.aberfeldycottages.co.uk/ If you wish to reserve more than one week then we are happy to deduct the cost of cleaning which we have saved i.e. £40.00 if you reserve two weeks and if you book 3 weeks then we deduct £80.00. Also if you are a pet owner and you book more than five months in advance then the pet, which would normally cost £20.00 per week, can come free. Booking in advance may not suit everyone who has difficulty with shift, flexible rotas or has to wait until January or April before they can reserve their time off from work. We would not want you to miss out on your holiday with us so we are happy in most cases to reserve the week you want until such time as your employer gives the go ahead. Some people do not book in advance because they are perhaps self-employed and cannot predict the workload far in advance. You need to reserve a holiday but are concerned that you might have to cancel it, equally you do not want to leave it to the last mute when choice is limited. In the event that you have booked a holiday with us and you have to cancel, provided we can secure anther booking then we will refund you every penny you have paid us without question or deduction for admin costs. Most people, who have given reasonable notice of a cancellation, have had full refunds. The longer we have to secure another booking the better chance of full repayment. For those wishing a little more comfort we can recommend Holiday Insurance Brokers, JL Morris http://www.jlmorris.co.uk who will be delighted to help.  It also goes without saying that we would be delighted to see you in Aberfeldy.   Click on here for prices and availability for 2010 and here for paying on-line.
