To support environmental policies, some hotels may not provide housekeeping services for one night during your stay. Please be aware of this. Hotels are typically equipped with body wash, hand soap, hair dryers, and electric kettles, but do not provide disposable toothbrushes, toothpaste, or slippers. Please prepare these items in advance.
2. Valuables: For two-night stays in the Highlands, you will generally be arranged in the same hotel and room. Please keep your valuables, cash, and important documents such as your passport safe. Carry them with you when leaving the room to avoid any loss.
3. Hotel Smoking Policy: Smoking is strictly prohibited indoors in all UK hotels, including guest rooms, bathrooms, and near windows. If the hotel discovers that a guest has been smoking indoors, a fine will be charged in accordance with hotel policy, typically around £200 (the exact amount is subject to the hotel's actual regulations). Guests are responsible for any such costs.
4. Meals and drinking water are not included throughout the trip. You can generally purchase these at supermarkets or grab items like McDonald's sandwiches.
