The no-profit user-charge covers the actual costs of servicing each property - including, for instance: maid service, laundry, and maintenance of the many free-to-use onsite facilities. It is charged per property - NOT per person. And it does not vary with the seasons: instead, the user-charge remains constant all year round.
A week for two in the Scottish Highlands - at the height of the season - could cost around £310 user charge, including VAT.*
A week for a party of eight in a four bedroom villa at Physkos, Turkey, in August could cost around £545 in user charge.*
* Prices for 2010 and for Turkey based on an exchange rate of £1 = 2.47 Turkish Lira (may vary).
