Safe Stay

Minimising the risk and the safety of our guests and team is our first priority. We have reviewed and adjusted our hotel operations to provide you with a safe stay.

Pre Arrival

You can book your hotel stay online or by calling our Hotel Reservations team. When booking your stay we recommend you familiarise yourself with our Safe Stay guidelines so you understand the measures we have put in place to ensure your safety whilst you are staying with us. If you have any questions about any of our measures then a member of our team will happily provide you with the answers. We highly recommend that you keep up to date with the latest government guidelines; Coronavirus symptoms can be found on the NHS website too. We politely ask that if you're displaying any symptoms, that you call us to postpone your stay. Symptoms include, but are not limited to: a high temperature, new or persistent cough or loss of smell and taste. Social distancing guidance and measures will be available in each of the rooms to enable a safe passage around our facilities throughout your stay. When walking around the property and using our facilities, we would be very grateful if you could please use your discretion and consideration by keeping a social distance of a minimum 2 meters between yourself and other people, where possible. It is mandatory to wear a face-covering when accessing your room via the hotel corridors. To assist, we have floor markings and guidance signs in place throughout the hotel. We wish you a comfortable stay. If you have booked directly with us we will contact you prior to your arrival with all the necessary information about your stay and update you on any of our guidance.

Arrival and Check-In

You’ll find signs in place when you arrival at the hotel to help you find your way around. There are further signs throughout the hotel (and other facilities) detailing our safety measures, to protect you and our team. Protective Perspex screens have been installed in the reception and bar areas to allow us all to keep our distance. We’ll also carry out a temperature check for every guest upon arrival, using a Fever20 temperature screening terminal. Fever20 is a contactless, fever screening solution that will automatically temperature test all guests entering the building, if you go within range of the sensor. The system is simple: green for go, red for alert. Sanitising and cleaning stations are provided at all entrances, reception areas and common areas. We ask that you use these before entering the hotel and common areas, whilst adhering to the new directional signs in place that help control the flow of people in the buildings. If you have any special requirements, please let us know prior to your arrival, so we can make the necessary preparations.

Checking-In

Our check-in time remains at 15:00; the check-in process has been streamlined to allow for a faster experience. Please note that all bookings must be pre-paid prior to arrival; only debit or credit cards may be accepted for the foreseeable future. Once you have checked in, our friendly reception team will give you a sanitised key to your room and direct you to your room. You’re more than welcome to use the lifts that are regularly cleaned throughout. It’s one household at a time to help everyone keep their distance.

Hotel Bedrooms

Every guest bedroom and en-suite is fully cleaned and sanitised using an X-Mist™ atmospheric sanitiser before each stay; the door is sealed with our clean seal to ensure no contamination occurs prior to your arrival. No room will have had previous guests for at least 24 hours prior to your arrival. Our housekeeping teams have all been provided with appropriate PPE that will be used when they're cleaning the hotel bedrooms. During your stay housekeeping will not enter your room to carry out daily cleaning, the cleaning of the rooms will only take place upon departure. Items such as toiletries and towels can be delivered to your roomupon request.

Information on the chemicals that are used throughout your stay will be provided at check in for guests to review.

Overnight cleaning will take place when the facilities are closed to ensure all facilities have been deep cleaned ready for your use in the morning.
