Dear Guest.....From 4th July 2020

During these unsettling times, we have done our utmost to keep our guests and staff safe.

Significant steps we have taken to reduce the spread of infection are:

  • Check-in from 4 pm and check out by 9.30 am, to allow housekeeping time to fully deep clean and additionally UVC sanitise guest bedrooms between stays. This is an extra process we have undertaken to maximise guest safety.
  • Bedrooms sealed following double sanitisation process and sanitised key in a sealed envelope given upon check-in.
  • Screened reception area with card only payment is taken on arrival.
  • Complimentary continental breakfast, fresh tea & coffee pods provided daily to room.
  • Delicious new menu available in our restaurant and outside terrace with social distancing between tables (2 metres inside and 1 metre outdoors). Residents are given priority over booking tables for dinner or drinks.
