I have no hot water. What do I do?

What happens if I check out and nobody is at reception?

If reception is not open, look for a fast check out key drop box where you can leave your check out envelope.

Can I leave my belongings in my room?

Not unless you have booked to continue staying with us in your room and have a valid tenancy. Anything that is left once you have checked out will be removed as they have to get the room ready for the next tenant. A charge may apply if they have to remove any leftover belongings, so please remember to clear everything out when you leave.

Can I leave things in my room if have rebooked for next year?

If you have a valid tenancy covering the time period, then yes you can. they just ask you to label any items in shared areas to confirm that they belong to you and not to someone else who has already checked out. This will help our cleaners. If your booking finishes in June or July and your next tenancy starts in September, you will need to arrange a summer short stay tenancy to bridge the gap. If you do not have a valid tenancy for the summer months, you will need to move everything out of your room and shared areas as someone else could be occupying the flat immediately after you leave.

If you are staying in Scotland, my deposits Scotland will have emailed you a unique release code at the start of your stay. You need this at the end of your tenancy to authorize the return of your deposit. Your property contacts my deposits Scotland at the end of your tenancy to confirm that you have checked out of your accommodation and advise on the deposit amount due to be refunded to you. This will be the full deposit minus any charges applied after your room has been inspected, or if your tenancy account has any outstanding balance due. My deposits Scotland will email to tell you that they have started the release process. You have 30 working days from the date of this email to respond to the deposit release request. You will need to enter your release code to access any refund. If you do not respond within this timeframe, my deposits Scotland will return the deposit amount they have advised as due following your check out.
