Are guests allowed to visitWe do not encourage guests to have visitors as this is often abused by people booking for 1 person and bringing a "visitor". That visitor then makes use of facilities they have not paid for. We structure our rates to be as economical/affordable as possible so that our guests can get best value for money ie: we charge a per person or single rate and not a room rate. But we also have to consider our own costs in this instance since we cannot recoup charges from unregistered/non paying visitors of guests. In addition we have experienced that when we have allowed guests to bring visitors, these visitors are noisier, disruptive and inconsiderate of any of our other guests. In conclusion - if you wish to bring a visitor - book and pay for them to stay. If you want to bring several visitors, then rather look for a property that has suitable facilities for functions.Asked about: Twin/Double Room • Answered on August 26, 2019
