For all guests, we reserve the right to ask you to confirm your identity with a driver’s license or other form of photographic ID. We required the names of all guests staying with us. These details will be kept securely for a period of 12 months as required by law.

Our restaurant is very popular particularly at weekends. It is our policy not to hold back tables specifically for residents. We therefore advise booking your tables as far in advance as possible to secure a table. 

 

Our bar is usually open until 23:00. We do not keep the bar open later for residents. Children under supervision are most welcome. 

 

We welcome guests with children and our hotel and staff are all children friendly. We ask parents to ensure that children are properly supervised at all times as we can take no responsibility for your children. 

 

Our rooms and other areas of the building are fitted with sensitive smoke detection devices. Any person tampering with the detectors or other safety equipment will be asked to leave and charged in full for the entire stay plus any additional charges incurred for engineers call-out charges. We carry out a weekly Fire Alarm test. A notice will be posted in your room and at the entry door.

This contract formed when we confirm your reservation is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties Act) 1999 or otherwise. 

 

The Porth Avallen is open all year round so you may find that there is necessary maintenance, development or refurbishment taking place during your visit. 

There may be occasions when certain facilities are out of use. 

 

All reasonable endeavours will be made to keep inconveniences to a minimum. We cannot be held responsible for the failure of public services e.g. gas, water, electricity etc, or for any disturbance which is beyond our control. 

 

If we know that facilities will be unavailable during your stay we will try to let you know in advance, usually at the time of your booking.
