Covid 19 Information

Spring 2021    Covid-19 update 

Updated February 2021 - we are open for bookings for 2021 and beyond. 

For your peace of mind our fully refundable cancellation policy applies up to 24 hours before your scheduled arrival time.

Further down this page, please take a moment to review our 10 Key Points information.

We have sourced professional products allowing us to thoroughly disinfect and then clean our house and rooms, aiming to reduce the risk of virus transmission.  As a result, we’ve made some changes that we’d like to share, these are to minimise the risk of contracting and spreading Covid-19. These are constantly reviewed and updated in line with Government best practice.

Summary of main changes:

  • We strongly request that you contact us ahead of your arrival date to advise us of your arrival time 
  • Rooms will remain unoccupied adhering to - or exceeding - Government guidelines between guests to limit the potential presence of viruses
  • Until a change to the Government advice you currently need to wear masks and practise social distancing in all communal areas
  • We have risk assessed touch points in our communal areas and increased and intensified our cleaning and disinfecting protocols throughout
  • All food on site is prepared and served by ourselves
  • We can provide private dining options for each room and, currently, you may be asked to order your breakfast the night before as opposed to our normal policy of ordering in the morning
  • All decorative items have been removed from rooms. Each bed will always offer professionally cleaned linen.  Pillows will be rotated with 72 hours' airing between guests. 
  • Please wash or sanitise your hands when you enter the building and each time you leave your room. There is hand sanitiser available on the first and ground floors
  • During this period of higher risk, we will not be servicing your room during your stay. Please tie up rubbish bags, leaving outside your room for collection at 11am each day.
  • Additional supplies of towels, toiletries and refreshments can be requested at any time - there is an order form in your room
  • Following the strict Government guidelines, if a guest shows symptoms of any viruses during their stay, they must leave immediately to return home to follow the Government’s self-isolation protocol. Where a stay is curtailed, a refund will be issued.

If a guest feels unwell during their stay, please call 01387 25188, 24 hours a day
