COVID-19 information

Social Distancing

We would like to thank our guests for practising social distancing.  We would be grateful if guests paid particular attention to social distancing in the communal areas such as the entrance, sitting room, stairs and corridors. With only 3 guest rooms this should be very easy to do.

​

Arrival

We love to give our guests a warm welcome but will not be offering a friendly handshake at this time, please do not be offended.  We will all have to make do with friendly smiles for now.

We have provided hand sanitiser at the entrance for use by guests on arrival and during their stay.

​

During Your Stay

We really hope that guests will relax and enjoy their stay with us.  Unfortunately we will not be able to allow additional non-resident guest visits at this time. 

 

Cleaning Rooms

We have adopted an enhanced cleaning schedule in line with the latest guidance.  We will discuss room servicing arrangements for you during your stay.  We encourage guests to air the rooms upon departure.

​

Maintenance

In order to comply with social distancing rules, only essential maintenance will be carried out during a guest stay.  Routine maintenance will be carried out between guest stays.

​

Local Attractions and Amenities. 

Many local attractions and amenities are now open but often have pre-booking requirements, this is particularly the case for pubs and restaurants.  Guests are encouraged to make the necessary arrangements ahead of their visit to make the most of what Cornwall has to offer.

​

Guidance in case a guest shows COVID-19 symptoms.

In line with Government guidelines guests who display symptoms of coronavirus or live in a household where someone else has symptoms must not check in.  The most common symptoms of coronavirus are the “recent onset of a continuous cough or high temperature or a loss of, or change in, normal sense of taste or smell.”

​

Guidance if a guest develops COVID-19 symptoms.

If a guest develops COVID-19 symptoms while staying with us they should immediately inform us and we will advise on the next steps to be taken in line with the latest government guidance and to ensure there is no onward risk of infection to other guests or hosts.  The guest should immediately self-isolate where they are to minimise the risk of transmission, and request a test.  

The Government guidance is here. Details of how to arrange an NHS test are here.

​

If they are confirmed to have COVID-19, they should return home if they reasonably can.  They should use private transport but only drive themselves if they can do so safely.  If a guest cannot reasonably return home (for example because they are not well enough to travel or do not have the means to arrange transport), their circumstances will be discussed with an appropriate healthcare professional and, if necessary the local authority.  This will apply to all guests staying in the same room, household or support bubble.   

 

If the guest is unable to return home, we will discuss potential meal and laundry options.  Guests will be required to clean their own rooms and strip their beds.  In accordance with Government guidance guests will be expected to pay the costs of an extended stay as detailed in our terms and conditions.

​

If a guest shows acute symptoms, has breathing difficulty or their life is at potential risk, medical help should be sought immediately.  Either through NHS online  https://111.nhs.uk/ or by dialing 999 for a medical emergency.

​

If a guest is required to self-isolate with us beyond their planned stay they will be liable for the additional costs caused. This includes any additional costs associated with the impact to follow-on guests who may not be able to stay with us due to the extended stay.  Guests are encouraged to take out suitable travel insurance to cover this eventuality.
