Before you Arrive

Please ensure that you take note of all the information in the pages that lead off this one. Some information should be passed onto all the members of your group and some ought to be accessed by the leaders before and during your stay.
Having this in advance will add to the group's enjoyment and safety during their stay in Nethy Bridge.
You can view the details of your booking at any time on our calendar including the number in the party and note times of arrival and departure.

Telephone contact with groups whilst in residence

The number for Abernethy Bunkhouses-Nethy Station phone is +44 (0)1479 821 117 .
Please note that this is a phone in only facility.
Urgent messages may be left at the office, which is not on the premises so there may be some delay.

Linen

We have a duvet and pillow on each bed.
1 To keep our prices as low as possible we encourage our groups to bring their own duvet cover, sheet, pillowcase and towels
2 If you bring sleeping bags, you will need to bring a pillowcase and towels
3 You can hire a full pack of linen from a laundry in Inverness, but please note this must be ordered at least 3 weeks in advance to allow for delivery and at £5 per pack it works out expensive for short stays.

Heating

Cooking, hot water and lighting costs are included in your bed price. Please remember that we only add the heating charge to your contract for bookings between the start of October & end of April. From May to September there will be a small charge if you wish to have the heating on and we would deal with that payment at the time.
As a Green business, we would encourage sweaters and warm clothes to be worn in cooler weather, and the doors and windows closed, before a request for heating is made. As Sir Ranulph Fiennes once said "There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing."

Recycling

As a Green Tourism business we are trying to do what we can and so would ask our groups to help by being aware of environmental issues.
Paper: can be taken to the paper bin behind the Community Centre only 200 yards away.
The 'green' recycling bin is for cans, bottles & plastics: Yellow recycling trugs can be used for collecting cans, bottles & plastics for recycling indoors, making it easier to transfer them to the large green bin outside.
Silver skip: for all other rubbish including food waste as unfortunately as a self-catering property we are unable to manage a compost heap.
To reduce the impact and numbers of rubbish collections we ask our customers to ensure that all rubbish is flattened fully, including plastic bottles.
The bins are collected, on demand, on a Thursday. If the rubbish is not flattened additional uplift may be required, at a cost to the group, creating unnecessary waste of fuel and manpower.
