On arrival

We politely request that if you are displaying any symptoms of Covid-19 or tested positive that you do not enter the hotel. These include: a high temperature, change or loss of taste and/or smell and a new and persistent cough. 

Hand sanitising dispensers are provided at reception for you to use. We politely ask you use this when entering the hotel.

We will keep the door open most of the time to avoid having any contact with door knobs. However, if the weather is not permitting, please rest assured that all points of contact are regularly disinfected.

All surfaces, screens, door handles and equipment are regularly cleaned & sanitised.

Please keep social distancing when entering the building

We have put signage on arrival and throughout the hotel detailing the guidelines we have in place to protect you and our teams. 

We have added a Perspex screen to our reception where we can safely interact with you. Our check-in process will be easier to allow for a fast and reduced-contact experience. 
Parking vouchers are available at reception.

 We are delighted to be able to handle your luggage or belongings, or showing you to your room once again. However, if you are not comfortable with either of these procedures, please do not hesitate to let us know.

Public areas, corridors and toilets

We have equipped our loos with sanitising sprays and sanitising handwash at the basins as well  disposable hand towels.

To avoid overcrowding in the washrooms, we ask that guests who are staying with us use the bathrooms in their bedrooms.

During your stay

Our reception is now open from 7.30am – 24.00am.
We encourage you to call us on 215 for any service required.
We will always be delighted to see you at our reception desk which benefits from a perspex screen where we can safely interact with you.
