Coronavirus statement

21 March 2020

We’re in uncharted waters, for the tourism industry, the UK and the world, and it’s difficult to know how to best respond in this rapidly changing climate.

Our guests, staff, visitors and the wider community remain our highest priority. Following the latest government announcement on 20^th March 2020 we closed our restaurant, bar, Laura Ashley The Tea Room and spa and leisure facilities yesterday.  As at 21^st March 2020 we have taken steps to begin closing the hotel and will be fully closed from Tuesday 24^th March 2020 until further notice. Our first priority has been the guest currently staying with us and our staff.

There have been no confirmed cases of the Coronavirus in the Hotel and we continue to exercise thorough deep-cleaning practices to minimise risk of cross-contamination.

If you have a holiday booked with us, rest assured you will be contacted by our reservations team to discuss your booking to change your dates. May we kindly ask you to refrain from calling as we will call you, however you are welcome to email instead on [email protected]
