These terms set out the basis on which Blyth Maltings House offers accommodation, and govern your use of this website. They are written plainly because the house is small and our dealings with guests are direct.
How a reservation works
A reservation is confirmed when we have written you a confirmation email with the dates, the room, the rate, and a reference number. A deposit of one night's rate is taken at the time of confirmation and the balance is settled on arrival. We accept payment in pounds sterling by credit card or by UK bank transfer.
If you cancel more than fourteen days before arrival we return the deposit in full. Cancellation within fourteen days forfeits the deposit unless we are able to re-let the room, in which case we return it. We will always try to re-let.
Conduct in the house
We ask guests to treat the building, the staff, and the other guests with the consideration the house is run with. Quiet hours run from ten at night to half past seven in the morning. The dining hall and the upper library are non-smoking; smoking is permitted in the kitchen garden and on the river path.
The card fixture in the upper library is open by appointment with reception, to registered house guests over the age of eighteen, and is governed by its own house rules which are explained on attendance. Reception may decline a request to attend for any reason.
What we are and are not responsible for
We take reasonable care of the house and the guests in it. We are not liable for personal items left in rooms beyond the limit set out in the Hotel Proprietors Act 1956. We hold standard public-liability insurance and a copy of the certificate is available at reception.
Outdoor activities — the marsh walks, the small-boat outings on the estuary, the river-path run to Blythburgh — are undertaken at the guest's own risk.
