Milton of Fonab Caravan Park – General Terms and Conditions

Noise

– Please be considerate of your neighbours at all times especially from 10pm-8am. A strict NO NOISE policy should be adhered to after 11pm please. Failure to do so may result in you being asked to leave the park. Please also be mindful of the language you use as this is a family Caravan Park.

BBQs/Open Fires

- Open fires are NOT permitted in the park. When using disposable BBQs, do not allow contact with the grass. For your own safety and others, please take care when disposing of used BBQs. Do not place them into the refuse bins until they are completely out and cooled down. (This can take a couple of hours) All BBQs must be out by 10pm.

Groups/Age Restrictions

Each outfit is restricted to six persons including children. As we are a family holiday Park we accept individuals, couples and families only and cannot accommodate those using caravans for residential or employment purposes.  If you feel your party does not fit within any of these groupings but does fall within the Protected Characteristics List within the Equality Act 2010 please call a member of our team to discuss on 01796472882 or the mobile number 07593920873 to prevent any unnecessary cancellations which appear not to adhere to our rules. You must be at least 21 years of age to make a booking and those under 21 years of age are not permitted to stay unless a parent or guardian over the age of 21 is also staying in the same unit.

Group bookings are not permitted without the prior approval of reception. A group booking counts as two or more pitches/static caravans booked by the same family or group regardless of whether booked together, separately and/or via different booking channels. The site will not tolerate groups who have booked separately and are later found to have booked for a gathering as it may impact on the enjoyment and comfort of other guests. If reception detects such bookings they will immediately be cancelled down and a full refund provided. Refunds can take up to 10 working days to appear back in your account. Groups/gatherings detected once they have arrived on site will be asked to leave the site without a refund.  Our Park is not suitable for stag and hen groups or gatherings of single sex groups and upon finding any suspected single sex group gatherings they will be cancelled down immediately.

Children

- Parents are responsible for providing supervision of their children at all times and please be mindful that there are water courses at multiple locations. Children must not be allowed to play in toilet/shower facilities. Ball games can be played in the area over by the Storage Caravans or on the Grass by the Static Caravans but Balls must not be kicked or Toys thrown near Caravans or Cars. Any breach of these rules will result in the Management stopping the Games. The Recreation Ground is a short 5 minute walk away from the Caravan Park.

Facilities

 - We are a family friendly Caravan Park.  However, we would ask that family members taking children of the opposite sex to use the facilities, who are over the age of 6 years of age, utilise the  Gender Neutral Toilets or the Family Bathroom to ensure the comfort of all our customers. Speed - 10mph speed limit. Only fully licensed drivers are allowed to drive on site. Only customer vehicles are authorized to be parked on site. All others must be parked in the visitor car park.

Dogs

- Most breeds of Dog are welcome, with the exception of any breed of dog listed in the Dangerous Dogs act 1991. All dogs must be kept under control at all times and on a lead whilst on site. Fouling must always be cleared up and disposed of in the bins provided or in any other General Waste refuse point. Please do not allow dogs to foul on grassed areas within the park, around your lodge pitch etc. Dogs should be exercised off the site or in the small dog walk area provided. Dogs should not be left alone in either our accommodation or your own, your dog may be used to your caravan or motorhome but they may become stressed by the outside surroundings and new sounds thus causing a disturbance to other guests.  The dog owner accepts all liability for their dog’s actions; including interaction with other customers. By agreeing to these terms, customers with dogs are accepting that they hold full liability for their dogs’ actions, including any that result in legal action by another patron of the site. Third party liability insurance is therefore recommended.  Dogs are allowed in the Reception and Shop but are not allowed in the Toilets or Shower Areas unless it is an Assistance Dog. 

Disposal Points

- Dirty dish water and chemical waste must be disposed of at the appropriate designated locations which can be found on your site map.

Grey Water Waste Disposal Systems

- Milton of Fonab and its facilities are intended for family holidays. By making a booking you are confirming that the purpose of your stay with Milton of Fonab aligns to the intended use of our property stated in the conditions of booking.

We reserve the right to decline or terminate the booking of any guest(s) whose party make-up or behaviour interferes or may interfere with the general comfort of other guests. We reserve the right to decline bookings that we believe are for stag or hen parties and groups where the primary purpose appears to be excessive partying or behavior that may disturb other guests.

We do not accept bookings from or allow anyone to stay on a holiday park who is or has been listed on the Violent and Sex Offenders Register (or any register which supersedes this), or anyone who is subject to a Sexual Risk Order, Child Abduction Notice or any similar order, court proceedings or register. By making a booking, you are confirming that no one in your party is or has been on any such register, subject to any such order or otherwise the subject of any such court proceedings.
