Cleaning Protocols and Risk Assessments
We have completed risk assessments for both cottages and apartment and are keeping up to date with industry and Scottish Government advice on cleaning protocols for self catering cottages. We have put in processes to implement these protocols.
Our housekeepers are professionals who have been trained in the correct way to prepare your accommodation for you.
We will be using a Virucidal/Bactericidal Disinfectant that passes EN 14476. You will find this and other cleaning materials provided at the cottage. We will also provide hand sanitiser and antibacterial hand wash for use during your stay. We have checked that all the products used do not compromise NHS or care home supplies.
​
Arrivals and Departure
Check in / out will be contactless for your safety. We are always at the end of the phone if you have any questions. Both cottages have a landline. Millbrae House self catering guests can call us or ring the door bell and we will be on hand to help with any questions you may have.
In order to allow our housekeepers extra time to clean the cottages (Loch View and Sanderling ) for your arrival. Our new check in time is from 5pm please do not arrive earlier. Check out time is 10am on the morning of your departure. This is a temporary change to our check in / check out times. We will be unable to accommodate any requests for an early check in. Craig Roan check in time is from 4pm and check out 10am.

The New Normal for Self Catering
We have always been proud of the extra attention to detail we have offered to our guests and we have had many kind comments regarding this. Sadly we will now have to strip back the accommodation in order to meet the new cleaning protocols and to adhere to our risk assessment. Bedding and towels will laundered in line with Government advice.
