We require 72 hours notice in the event of a cancellation. Our cancellation policy is based on normal legal practice within the UK, whereby proprietors have the right to charge in full if we are unable to relet the accommodation in these circumstances.
If you are concerned about cancellation you are advised to take out travel insurance.
Check-in time is from 2:00pm to 10:00pm however please let us know when you expect to arrive so that we can give you a warm welcome. We will send you a text message 24 hours prior to your arrival so you can keep us updated as to any delays, especially those guests travelling via ferry to/from the Channel Islands and France.

Check out time is 10:30am, however you may continue to park your car on check-out day until your departure home.
On check out, all room keys can be left in the pot on the dressing table, in the room door or on the coffee table in the guest lounge.. Failure to do so may result in you being charged for a replacement key(s) or lock(s) as deemed necessary. In the event that a key is not returned after check-out we request you contact us to make arrangement for keys to be returned to avoid charges.
On arrival, a member of each party, is required to complete a Check-In Form stating the full name and nationality of all guests (aged 16 years and over). This is a legal requirement as set out by the Immigration (Hotel Records) Order 1972 and for those that are not British, Irish or Commonwealth must also specify their passport number and place of issue (or other document which shows their identity and nationality).
If an invoice/receipt is required, please complete the Check-In Form including e-mail address and any other company details as necessary, and an invoice will be sent accordingly.
