Our accommodation lends itself to natural social distancing with only 3 rooms across 2 floors. Our flexible check-in times facility means that we can ensure our guests can remain a safe distance from other people and of course ourselves.

Our normally rigorous cleaning procedures have been enhanced to provide a safe environment for all our guests so you can be assured when you enter your room it will be infection-free. Our hall and lobby areas will also be sanitised daily.

Our breakfast room has ample space to accommodate the required Government recommended social distancing.

We will:
