Should this damage come to light after the guest has departed, we reserve the right to make a charge to the guest’s credit/debit card or send an invoice for the amount to the registered address. We will make every effort to rectify any damage caused, prior to contracting specialists to make the repairs and therefore will make every effort to keep any costs incurred by the guest to the minimum.

DOGS POLICY

We welcome owners (who have a maximum of 2 x well behaved dogs)  in selected rooms on the ground and first floor.  Unfortunately we cannot accommodate dogs in any other rooms of the hotel, as we have a duty of care to our hotel guests who may stay and suffer from pet related allergies.  A charge of £10.00 per dog per night will be payable upon arrival.  Any soiling of flooring and furniture will be chargeable if excessive cleaning is required upon your pets departure.  If a pet is unwell or has an accident, please let us know as soon as possible, so that we can provide you with the cleaning products required to remove the waste & odour.  No dogs are to be left unattended in guest rooms or taken into the restaurant.  If you would like to eat at the hotel, please let us know and we will arrange for your food to be eaten in the guest lounge / bar.
