We want you to rest assured that we are taking all the necessary steps to ensure the safety of our guests and team members whilst we do everything to maintain the welcoming atmosphere.

The measures introduced include, social distancing measures, hand sanitiser at all entrances and in public spaces throughout the Inn. We have scrupulous cleaning protocols and a simplified guest journey to minimise direct interaction between team members and guests.

We have provided more detail below and will be updating and adapting as new guidance is released.

THE RULES & RISKS

We’re closely adhering to government guidelines and carrying out comprehensive risk assessments for all activities.

If any of our team members become symptomatic, they will be asked to stay at home. We kindly ask that you practice the same approach. If you happen to fall ill before your visit, we will honour all deposits and be as flexible as we possibly can be.
We do kindly ask all guests to wear a mask while moving around the inside public spaces, until you are seated at your table.

If you require anything additional for your room, such as tea and coffee, toiletries or fresh towels, please ask a member of our team who will be delighted to help. For everyone’s safety and peace of mind, we have increased the cleaning frequency public areas.
