Terms and Conditions

Last updated 11 October 2026

1. About these terms

Apologies for the formality and abundance of boring text but it is essential for your own safety and enjoyment that you take the time to read our Terms and Conditions for your booking and stay. Our Terms and Conditions must be read in full before booking.

A contract between you and Kabn will come into existence when payment is received and a booking confirmation is issued showing the confirmed holiday dates. The contract binds you and all the members of your party. It is your responsibility to ensure that all members of your party accept the terms of the contract set out in these Terms and Conditions of booking. Failure to disclose all relevant information or to comply with these terms may lead to termination of the contract and loss of the booking.

These terms are between you and Kabn One Limited, trading as Kabn (company number 11940157, registered office The Granary, Hermitage Court, Hermitage Lane, Maidstone, Kent ME16 9NT). Contact us at info@kabncompany.com.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited or excluded by law, and nothing in them affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

2. Disclaimer

Kabn accepts no responsibility for loss or damage of property, vehicles or vehicle contents or valuables belonging to guests during their stay or time at Kabn.

Any personal items found will be held for a maximum of three months, following which they will be donated to charity or destroyed.

Kabn Loch Fyne is located on Ardkinglas Estate and Kabn Cairngorms on private land in the Cairngorms. Both are working estates with commercial operations located close by. Please be conscious, careful and respectful of the land and the other residents who live and work there. Kabn shall have no responsibility for loss, damage or injury that occurs on the land or in the loch.

Although care has been taken in managing the various facilities, such as BBQs, fires and wood burning stoves, Kabn cannot be held responsible for any injury, loss or damage in relation to any services, features or facilities provided or supplied by us or third parties. You use these services, features, and facilities at your own risk.

Information about features, facilities, and services, is, to the best of our knowledge and belief, accurate at the time of publication, however, Kabn cannot guarantee that these services, features, and facilities will be available during your holiday.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to release, defend (at Kabn’s option), indemnify, and hold Kabn (including its personnel) harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: (i) your breach of these Terms and Conditions (including any supplemental or additional terms that apply), (ii) your improper use of the Kabns, (iii) your interaction with any other guest, your stay at the Kabns, participation in an experience or activity, including without limitation any injuries, losses or damages (whether compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of such interaction, stay, participation or use of the Kabns or any features, facilities and services, and (iv) your breach of any laws, regulations or third party rights.

3. Your responsibilities

Each guest agrees:

  • to fully indemnify Kabn for any losses or damage to the property caused or allowed by the guest;
  • to take good care of the property and leave it in a clean and tidy condition on departure. Kabn reserves the right to make a charge for extra cleaning if the property is not left in a satisfactory condition;
  • to permit Kabn and their agents reasonable access to the property at all times;
  • not to part with possession of the property, or share it, except with members of the party listed when booking;

  • not to smoke or allow smoking in Kabn property and not to bring any pets to the property other than dogs, which are welcome all year round when booked and paid for in line with our Pet Policy.

The person booking the stay is responsible for the behaviour of all members of the party at all times and is responsible for ensuring they have read all the Terms and Conditions of the booking including instructions on how to use the Kabns and the features, facilities and services provided.

Kabn reserves the right to refuse a booking without giving any reason.

NEVER plug an electric car charger into the power points, this will destroy the off-grid power system and the guest will be responsible for the cost of replacing the system

4. Payment

The full balance of your stay is due at the point of booking. Payment for bookings are made online through our third-party booking system. Payment is processed through Stripe. All major debit and credit cards are accepted.

Booking is taken on a provisional basis until all funds have been paid in full and cleared through the payment system (Stripe). Until the booking is confirmed, it can be cancelled at any time with prior notice.

In making a booking you accept responsibility for any theft, breakage or damage caused by you or any member of your party and agree to indemnify us in full for any loss that we may incur as a result. A security deposit of £150 may be required and will be returned within 10-15 Business Days of the end of your holiday if taken, less the cost of any damage/breakages. Please do not take any items away from the Kabn with you and only use what you need. This includes all toiletries and amenities, which will be charged for if taken. Accidents do happen but please take due care of the Kabns and the furniture, fixtures, fittings, electronics and other contents, and leave them in the same state they were in when you arrived. If anything is broken, damaged or lost, make sure you report it promptly (and in any event before check-out) to Kabn via our Whatsapp Concierge. The accommodation will be inspected at the end of the holiday and you may be charged for any loss or damage.

5. Charges After Your Stay

By booking, you authorise us to charge the card used for your booking after your stay for any loss, damage, missing items, extra cleaning or other charges set out in these terms, such as the pet and key charges. We will tell you what any charge is for and show you evidence, such as photographs or invoices. Any charge will reflect our reasonable costs.

6. Booking Through Another Platform

If you book through a third-party platform such as Airbnb or Booking.com, that platform’s payment, cancellation and refund terms apply to your booking where they differ from ours. These terms apply to everything else about your stay, including your responsibilities while staying with us.

7. Prices

The prices advertised are accurate at the time of booking. Kabn reserves the right to adjust the pricing in the future, but this will not apply to confirmed bookings. Prices include VAT at the current prevailing rate.

Prices do not include any additional services unless expressly stated.

Promotions, deals or discounted offers are provided at the sole discretion of Kabn and may be revoked at any time. All offers are subject to availability and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer or discount and may be withdrawn at any time.

Payment in full is required at the time of the booking and will be subject to the cancellation policy set out in the terms and conditions.

11. Changing Length of the Stay

This may be possible if requested more than 4 weeks in advance of the booking and there is availability. Please get in touch with us directly to do this.

12. Arrival and Departure

  • Check In: 4pm to 9.30pm. We advise checking in during sunlight hours so that you can familiarise yourself with the location and property.
  • Check Out: 10:30am, so that the property can be thoroughly cleaned and prepared for the next arrival.

Detailed directions of how to get to the Kabns and the location of the key safe will be provided with the booking confirmation. Keys must be returned to the key safe at the end of the stay.

Guests are kindly asked to leave the Kabns clean and tidy and in the same condition as they found the Kabns on arrival. This includes making sure all the kitchen equipment (e.g. pots, pans, plates etc.) and BBQ equipment is clean. We reserve the right to retain the security deposit if this is not the case.

13. Drugs

Kabn has a strict zero tolerance policy on drugs and any illegal substances. If any guest is found to be under the influence, the booking will be terminated with immediate effect and the police will be notified.

14. Smoking

This is a non-smoking property. Vaping or smoking anywhere inside the premises or near to the Kabns will result in immediate termination of occupancy and forfeiture of all payments. This must be strictly adhered to and any damage or extra cleaning caused by smoking (including the removal of cigarette butts from the vicinity) will be at your expense. A flat fee of £300 will be charged to cover any cleaning expenses if there is any evidence of smoking within or around the property.

For your own safety and the safety of others, under no circumstances should you smoke inside, near or around the Kabns where there are flammable materials.

15. Fires and Wood-burning Stoves

The wood burning stove, outdoor grill and BBQ are used entirely at the guest’s own risk. Kabn accepts no liability in relation to the guest’s use and operation of the wood burning stove, outdoor grill and BBQ. You will be liable for any loss, damage or injury caused to the property or its contents by use of the wood burning stove, grill and BBQ during your stay.

We supply the charcoal (for the BBQ), logs for the outdoor fire grill and indoor logs, kindling and firelighters for the wood burning stove all free of charge. Wood is expensive and a limited resource so we therefore supply on a fair usage policy, if you would like to purchase more we can supply at the time of booking (subject to availability) alternatively extra wood can be purchased at the local 'Tree Shop' nursery next to Loch Fyne Oyster Deli.

Outdoor fire grill and BBQ

  • Outdoor fires: No fires shall be made on the beach or close to the Kabns other than in the outdoor fire grill. No plastic or any other flammable material of any kind must be used in the fire.
  • Never add too many logs to the outdoor grill or cause the fire to burn out of control.
  • Never leave the outdoor grill, wood burning stove or BBQ unattended when lit.
  • Barbecue – please use the designated barbecue utensils and clean the barbecue after use.
  • Always make sure the outdoor grill, wood burning stove and BBQ are safely put out after use.

Indoor wood-burning stove

Indoor Wood-burning Stove: For your own health and safety you must read and adhere to all instructions on how to light, use and operate the wood-burning stove, which will be included at the Kabn in a handbook.

  • Please only use the ‘indoor’ firewood and kindling provided, do not put any other material in the stove other than those provided and as instructed. Strictly no coal, charcoal, plastic or any other flammable material of any kind must be used in the wood-burning stove.
  • Never leave the door to the wood burning stove open; always ensure it is firmly shut after logs are added.
  • Never leave the wood-burning stove lit when outside the Kabn / unattended.
  • Always keep a close eye on the fire to ensure it is burning correctly, so no smoke is filling the room and that it is not too hot or the flame is too large.
  • In the unlikely event that an ember does fall out of the fire, please quickly use the fire tools and glove provided to collect and place back in the fire. The Kabns are made of wood which is flammable so please take great care. There is a fire extinguisher in each Kabn to be used in emergencies.
  • The stove handle becomes extremely hot so always use an oven glove (which is provided) to open/close the door and add one log at a time.
  • Carefully place the log in the fire so it will not fall out when the door is next opened. Also please take care of the baffle in the fire which can be dislodged if a lack of care is taken when adding logs.
  • Do not touch the outside of the stove or place any objects on top of the stove.
  • The baking tray in the oven insert also gets EXTREMELY hot, so please handle with care and only pick up with the oven gloves. The glove does heat up quickly with the tray in your hand so please put the tray down on the hob or a trivet very quickly after picking up. Never get the oven glove wet or use when wet. Never put anything hot on any surface in the Kabn, other than the hob or a trivet.
  • Familiarise yourself with the ‘window door’ operation opposite the bed to make sure you understand how to use it in case of emergency as this offers an alternative route of escape from the front door.

16. Safety Equipment

We provide a basic first aid kit (in the bathroom under the sink), fire extinguishers (by the stove and under the worktop) and fire blanket (on the wall by the sink) in case of emergencies. These are all chargeable if used.

17. Motorised Watercraft

No motorised watercraft may be launched from Ardkinglas Estate or Cairngorms estate land. This includes all land and the loch shores surrounding the Kabns.

18. Personal Electrical Equipment

If you are using your own electrical equipment in any of the Kabns these must be:

  • Electrically safe, of sound design and not modified from their original purpose;
  • Show no signs of adaptation, overheating or poor maintenance;
  • Used in accordance with manufacturers instructions and at the user’s own risk.

Any high power consumption items like toasters, kettles and hairdryers are strictly prohibited and will break the off grid system.

Please note that you will be liable for any loss, damage or injury caused to the property or its contents by the use of your own electrical equipment during your stay.

19. Power

Our renewable power supply may occasionally stop working or indeed run out if too much has been used. In the case of such an event please promptly let us know via WhatsApp and we will endeavour to make you as comfortable as possible. However, no compensation will be payable as this is out of our control and is part of being off grid. High power consumption items like toasters, kettles and hairdryers are strictly prohibited (other than the hairdryer we provide) as they will break the system. We ask that you be as conservative as possible with your power usage, turning lights off when not in the property, keeping the bathroom lights off etc.

Candles are not allowed inside the Kabns at any time. In the event of a power outage, you will find a torch in the Kabn beside the bed.
