Damages Policy
Damage to hotel property – We reserve the right to charge guests the cost of rectifying damage, caused by the deliberate, negligent or reckless act of the guest to the hotel’s property or structure. Should this damage come to light after the guest has departed, we reserve the right to make a charge to the guest’s credit / debit card, or send an invoice for the amount to the registered address. We will however make every effort to rectify any damage internally prior to contracting specialists to make the repairs, and therefore will make every effort to keep any costs that the guest would incur to a minimum.
Removal of Hotel Property
We reserve the right to charge guests the cost of replacing any items that are removed from the premises by them without consent. The charge will be the full replacement amount of the missing item, including any carriage charges. Should the fact that the item is missing come to light after the guest has departed, we reserve the right to make a charge to the guests credit/debit card, or send an invoice for the amount to the registered address.
Parking
Please note that there is one car parking space per room available within the hotel grounds.
Children
Unfortunately we do not normally accept children under the age of 8 at the hotel due to the lack of children’s facilities. However if your child is under 8 please contact us and we might be able to make exceptions. Occasionally we will also run family weekends in our quieter periods to allow our guests with children and grandchildren to see the glorious area we live in!
Dogs
Well behaved dogs/pets, accompanied by responsible pet owners, are very welcome at the Beacon Hotel and we hope you all enjoy your stay with us. Your co-operation in following these helpful hints and pet etiquette will ensure the hotel complies with safety, food, and hygiene law, regarding pets.
Dogs must be kept on their leads in the hotel and hotel grounds. Owners have a duty to ensure that their dog is kept under proper control at all times.
Due to the additional cleaning time and products we must use in the rooms on checkout, we charge an additional £5 per dog per night.
Pets are NOT allowed in the restaurant. They are allowed in our bar/lounge providing they are kept on a lead at all times and use the blankets provided to sit on. At no time are they allowed on the furniture/sofas.
Unfortunately we are unable to accept puppies who have not completed their full vaccination course or those that have not been fully toilet trained.
Please ensure that your dog/pet is up to date with their flea control as we do not want them to leave any unwanted guests in the room.
Please ensure that dogs/pets do not climb on to furniture or hotel beds. If at checkout/after checkout we find that dogs/pets have been on the furniture/beds and they are soiled/marked then we reserve the right to charge for the cost of additional laundry charges as per below. These charges also are applicable if we have to change the bed linen during your stay due to your dog’s/pets.

If we find that dogs/pets have damaged furniture or carpets (to include soiling of carpets, fleas etc). We reserve the right to charge for the costs to rectify as per our Damages Policy.
If you find you have brought insufficient bedding or towels for you dog, please ask at reception. We have a supply of old towels that would be perfect for these wet / rainy days to dry your dog on entering the building or for them to sleep on. The towels in the Hotel bathrooms are for use by human-beings only!
Please clean up after your pet inside the room and out; a doggy bin is situated outside – on the left as you walk up from the car park. If you need plastic bags or cleaning materials we would be happy to provide these.
If your dog has a tendency to be unsettled and make a noise when left unaccompanied whilst you have your breakfast, then please consider dining separately, or alternatively we offer a room service option.
Please take your pet with you when you go out. At no point must dogs/pets be left unaccompanied in the rooms unless you are dining in our restaurant. Housekeeping and maintenance staff may need access to the rooms.
There are plenty of good walks from our front door. Feel free to use the grounds to the front of the hotel. A footpath leaves directly to “the Beacon” and on towards the coastal paths or St. Agnes. Please ask at reception for suggested routes / map.
If something is damaged by your pet, please notify the hotel management. It is advisable to have an appropriate insurance policy in the eventuality that your dog should nip a passing ankle or chew furniture.
