You hereby agree that as a dog owner you are responsible for the behaviour of your dog during your stay at Portnellan.

Worm and flea treatments must be up to date.

You agree to accept full responsibility for any damage and/or soiling caused by your dog during your stay and agree to pay the cost of any repairs or additional cleaning requirements.

If you have a group booking of more than one property, please ensure your dog(s) do not enter any chalet/cottage other than the one you are staying in. Otherwise we will levy an additional dog fee for the extra cleaning costs.

Please bring plenty of poo bags and clean up after your dog.

Dogs are not allowed on any furniture including beds and sofas.

Dogs must not be left alone in the holiday chalets/cottages unless they are in a crate and you are absolutely sure they will not bark continuously.

Unfortunately dogs that bark continuously are not allowed at Portnellan as they will disturb other guests. If any dog persistently causes a nuisance or distress we reserve the right ask the owners to leave.

Please bring plenty of your own dog towels for drying.

Please be considerate of anyone at Portnellan who may not be familiar or comfortable with dogs.

There will be other guests and maybe other dogs at Portnellan so please keep your dog(s) on a lead when taking your dog to your car, or setting out on a walk direct from the door.

Please ensure you are familiar with and follow the Countryside Code when out for a walk:

Maintain effective control of your dog and consider other people.

Protect the natural environment and wildlife.

Leave gates and property as you find them.

Bag it and bin it – it is an offence to fail to remove dog faeces.

It is an offence for a dog to worry livestock on agricultural land and farmers are entitled to destroy a dog without compensation to the owner.

Arrival and Departure Times;

Arrival is 4pm onwards (April-October) The properties will be ready at different intervals throughout the day of your arrival. We will make every effort for an earlier check in time especially within Winter months (November-April). Please contact to discuss a relaxed arrival and departure time.

If you plan to arrive late in the evening, please let us know in advance so we can ensure you're well taken care of.

Departure is up to 10am so we have time to prepare for our next guests. Later departures at certain times of the year and for short stays may be arranged by prior arrangement. Please call to discuss.

Grocery Packs;

Groceries, butcher meat, fish and other provisions can be provided on your arrival day. Contact details for local businesses that provide these services will be sent to you with your confirmation. Please contact the business directly with your orders. You can either settle directly or with Portnellan at the end of your holiday.

Cleaning Surcharge;

When you arrive you will see that the property is cleaned and maintained to a very high standard. You are expected to maintain these high standards of cleanliness in the lodge throughout your holiday. Upon departure the property must be left in the same condition as it was found. We have a team of housekeepers but they are not slaves - so please respect the property as your own and do not present us with the embarrassing situation of having to ask for a cleaning surcharge of up to £100. Glasses do get broken, but they do have to be replaced, so please note you will be asked to settle for any broken glasses. They are £4 each.

Security/Key Deposit;

There is a security/key deposit of £250 to be settled either when booking or on arrival.  This amount is held on a credit card. Any damage, breakage or spillage in your property should be reported so we can maintain the high standards our guests expect.
