Logie Country House Terms & Conditions

LOGIE COUNTRY HOUSE – WEDDING TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These Terms and Conditions form a legally binding agreement between Logie Country House (Logie Estates Ltd, “we”, “us”, “our”) and the person or persons making the booking (“you”, “your”, “the Lead Guest”). By making a booking, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions and accept full legal responsibility for the conduct, safety, and actions of all guests, suppliers, and visitors you invite to the property during the hire period.

BOOKING TERMS

A booking fee is required at the time of booking. You are booking the entire house, including all rooms and associated facilities.

You are required to take out your own comprehensive wedding insurance when making a booking. This insurance should provide a full refund of all your costs, including suppliers, should your wedding be unable to go ahead for any reason. You must ensure that your insurance includes at least £3 million in public liability cover.

  • £1,500 (weekend booking) or £1,000 (mid-week booking) booking fee is required to secure the booking.
  • A valid credit or debit card must be provided to guarantee the security deposit prior to check-in. The card expiry date must extend beyond the scheduled check-out date. We may pre-authorise a card to cover any potential damage. Charges will only be applied if damage occurs.
  • All accommodation is strictly non-smoking. A deep cleaning fee of £500 per room will be charged for any breach.
  • Smoking is permitted outdoors only, away from doors and windows.
  • Check-in is from 16:00. Check-out is by 10:00. Early check-in (13:00) and late check-out (12:00) are usually available upon request.
  • All quoted rates are inclusive of applicable taxes.
  • You accept that this agreement constitutes a short-term licence to occupy the premises and does not create a tenancy.

PAYMENT & CANCELLATION

Our cancellation policy reflects the long lead time typical of wedding bookings. Cancellations reduce our ability to re-let at the same rate.

  • 50% of the total fee must be paid at least 14 months prior to your wedding date.
  • The remaining balance must be paid in full at least four months before the wedding.

Refund Policy:

  • 100% refund including booking fee if cancelled with at least 23 months’ notice.
  • 100% refund (excluding booking fee) if cancelled between 15–23 months.
  • 50% refund (excluding booking fee) if cancelled between 12–15 months.
  • No refund if cancelled with less than 12 months’ notice.

If we can rebook the cancelled date, we will offer a refund of up to 100% of money paid (excluding booking fee), regardless of notice period. Refunds (if applicable) will be issued one week after the rebooked wedding has taken place and payment received.

We reserve the right to:

  • Take any due fees from the card used for reservation.
  • Cancel or alter any reduced rate or free rebooking following cancellation.
  • Charge the full published rate for any rebooking if the original was refunded via insurance.

If your wedding is cancelled due to a local or government ban, we will refund money paid (minus expenses incurred) or offer an alternative date only if your insurance claim and appeal are both rejected.

We will not be liable for:

  • Third-party costs or expenses
  • Weddings affected by government restrictions where the event could still legally proceed
  • Any guest unable to attend for any reason
  • Circumstances beyond our control (force majeure)

We reserve the right to cancel the booking without refund if final payment is not received four months prior to check-in.

All refunds will be made to the original payment source.

All cancellation and refund terms are based on the Applicable Event Date which is the earliest event date agreed for that booking (i.e., the soonest in time out of all dates set for that booking, whether described as original, postponed, rescheduled, or brought forward). A request to postpone will be treated as a cancellation of the original date and the full cancellation policy will apply. The original date will be released for resale. Any new date will be treated as a new booking, subject to availability, unless alternative terms are agreed in writing with us prior to the postponement.

All prices are inclusive of VAT at the rate in force at the time the VAT becomes due. If the applicable VAT rate increases between booking and the event date, the difference will be added to the total due.

INDEMNITY

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Logie Country House, its owners, agents, and employees against any claims, demands, liabilities, damages, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from:

  • Injury or accident involving your guests, suppliers, or invitees
  • Damage to the property or contents
  • Breach of these Terms and Conditions
  • Enforcement of these Terms and Conditions
