There have been a few changes since your last visit
Whilst we haven’t been able to welcome our guests recently we have kept ourselves busy over the past few months with a number of improvements to our hotels that we normally struggle to do at this time of year.
Our TLC has ranged from sprucing up stone entrances, to sanding down woodwork on both receptions and in the bars followed by several coats of that all important varnish. We have also broken out the brushes to give our high traffic public areas a fresh lick of paint.
Some has been slightly more involved such as a re-build of the a section of the White Swan’s Frontage!
At the same time we have also been working hard to make our hotels ready for your return back to stay with us. Our current high standards of hygiene and cleaning continue. However, they have been increased in frequency along with greater attention to high touch area both in our public areas, bedrooms and back of house. This has included adding additional protocols and training for all our teams.
We have also laid out our spacious ground floor areas to ensure we achieve social distancing for you and our teams that are here to help you enjoy your stay whilst ensuring our same levels of service.
We would appreciate your help on this during your stay so we all stay safe and sound.
Yours sincerely
