Additional Cleaning & Damages

  • Accidents & Soiling: In the event of soiling of beds, bedding, carpets or furniture (including but not limited to urine, vomit, blood or other bodily fluids), guests must inform Reception immediately so we can arrange professional cleaning.

  • Failure to notify staff and/or leaving soiled bedding or furniture without reporting it will incur a fixed £50 housekeeping fee to cover specialist laundry, sanitisation, and staff handling.

  • In cases of significant damage or contamination requiring professional contractors, charges may be higher and will be billed at cost.

Extra People/Beds/Cots

 Please contact us at the time of booking to discuss your options.

If an extra person arrives that is not included in the original reservation we reserve the right to refuse them being accommodated in your room. If that person can be accommodated (and it is subject to our discretion) an extra room night will be charged.

 

Any unauthorised persons that stay in the room (over and above the maximum number allowed as per the confirmation) will be charged an extra room night.
