Coronavirus Help & Information
Following the latest announcement from the Welsh Government, we are delighted to announce we are now open to all.
We have already stepped up our existing stringent cleaning regime and are using HIT (High Impact Touch) cleaning methods in all areas. We successfully implemented social distancing measures whilst providing a takeaway service and rooms for keyworkers, and we're adapting and progressing these measures following Government guidelines so that we can safely open our doors to guests.
We have also relaxed our cancellation policy at this time to allow you to amend or cancel your booking up to 24 hours ahead of your stay so that you can book in confidence.

What measures have you put in place to ensure we can visit safely? (please note that these are subject to change based on Government guidelines).
Cleaning procedures:
• We have ramped up our cleaning procedures by adopting HIT (High Impact Touch) cleaning methods in all areas. This ensures that contact surfaces are sanitised regularly. We are also practising extra deep cleaning and regular hand washing.
• We ask that before you enter any communal areas you wash your hands thoroughly, we also have hand sanitising essentials at the front desk should you need these.
• To minimise contact we are not offering a daily room turn around service for those staying more than one night. Should you require any top ups of refreshments or linen please feel free to ask at reception. If you do require a full clean throughout your stay please let us know and we can arrange this.
Social Distancing & hygiene
• We ask that you be mindful of keeping your distance from others when you visit us, and make use of the sanitisers and hand washing facilities.
