Check-in & check-out

CHECH IN: from 3pm

You are welcome to arrive from 11am until 8pm. If you are arriving late please let us know so that we can organise a late check in pack for you.

CHECK OUT: 11am

Late check out is available. Until 12 noon it is an additional cost of £15. Until 1pm the additional cost is £20.00. We are happy to store bags for those travelling by train. We do our best to prioritise rooms for early arrivals but we cannot guarantee room availability before 3pm. 

Breakfast

Breakfast is served from 8am to 10am. We can deliver a light ‘picnic’ breakfast to your room the evening before an early start if you let us know in advance.

Smoking

We operate a non-smoking policy throughout the building and grounds. This is also a condition of our insurance. Very occasionally we have guests who are not up to speed with the new smoking regulations. We would just like to take this opportunity to remind visitors who smoke that from the 1st July 2007 it is illegal to smoke inside a public, confined space. This includes bedrooms. At Cottage Lodge was also ask guests not to smoke in the grounds in case smoke drifts up into the rooms around.

If anyone smokes in a room, or damages a room, in such a way that it affects the next person coming into that room we reserve the right to charge for all costs associated with the guests’ behaviour.

We reserve the right to charge for resetting the fire alarm, relocating guests, cleaning rooms or any other costs associated with any guest who smokes anywhere in the building or grounds.

Children

We welcome children of all ages.

Security & personal belongings

While staff do all they can to ensure that guests’ belongings are safe and secure at all times we cannot accept any responsibility for loss or damage to guests’ property in the hotel building, car park and grounds. Please store valuable items in the in-room safes provided.

Payment

We accept payment by debit/credit cards, Apple pay or cash. We do not accept cheques.

Dogs

We have two dog-friendly guest rooms. Dogs are permitted in the Snug Bar and not in any other part of the building.

Damage

Very occasionally guests cause damage during their stay such as leaving red wine, coffee, and other stains on the bed linen or carpets. We reserve the right to charge for any cleaning or replacement costs.

Health and safety

Parts of the building date back to 1650 – the stairs are steep and ceilings low. Drive slowly over the cattle grids as you enter and exit the car park – especially if your car has low clearance. Please use the pedestrian gate when leaving the building on foot.
