What we are doing to help?

Lavender Hotels have always taken great pride in our high standard of hygiene throughout our hotels from bedrooms, leisure facilities, restaurant and other public areas to behind the scenes areas such as kitchens and food preparation areas.  Every property holds a minimum 4-star hygiene rating with local authorities.  However, we have taken additional measures to make our cleaning and hygiene procedures even more rigorous with the following extra step:

Additional cleaning:

• Increased frequency of cleaning
• Regular sanitation of all surfaces throughout the hotels and leisure clubs.
• Deep cleaning of all areas.
• More testing of chemical levels of swimming pools.
• More sanitation hand gels available to guests and leisure club members.

Team training:

Throughout this process, our staff have been given additional training to enhance their knowledge of the virus and cleaning skills.  Supplies of all chemicals into the business have been unaffected.

Hotel bookings

We want to reassure you we are looking at showing greater flexibility current and future guests during this difficult period.

I’ve already made a booking?

If you have an existing booking we will give you the flexibility to move this booking to a future date providing you give at least 24 hours notice prior to the date of your existing booking. This also includes pre-paid bookings which would normally be non-transferable and non-refundable.

I’m looking to make a booking is it secure?

Any new bookings made from 18th March 2020 can be transferred to a future date or can be canceled up to 24 hours of your stay.
