a final note…

The nature of our hotel makes it difficult to implement hard and fast rules and restrictions. We would therefore ask all our guests to apply common sense and take responsibility for your own personal space and physical distancing when moving around the hotel. We will endeavour to avoid any contact however if you do encounter us when negotiating the narrow corridors or stairs then please have confidence that our team will have complied with our COVID commitment!
