Early arrivals: if your arrival is early in the day and you prefer immediate access to your room, we recommend reserving for the prior night to guarantee immediate access. If you choose not to reserve, we will be happy to store your bags for you. During the Christmas period the property hosts various events and parties. The hotel will therefore not be as quiet as at other times. Also, every Friday and Saturday night the restaurant will not be available, food will be available in the Lounge Bar area. Every effort is made to ensure your room if away from any such events, however due to the location of rooms sometimes this may not be possible.
