                            and two single beds.

If you want a room for three or four people, each having an individual bed,  please ask at the time of reserving a room.

Smoking/Non smoking.  None of the cheaper hotels designate rooms as non smoking.  They do though, air and freshen the rooms after occupancy.

This varies from hotel to hotel as well as upon the time of year.  Normally check-in is from about 1pm, but if they have a room available, they will check you in earlier.

Check-out again varies, but is usually between 10am and 11am,  allowing time to make up the rooms for new arrivals.

All hotels will hold luggage securely if you arrive early, freeing you to go for a walk etc.  They will also all hold luggage after check-out if you need to depart later in the day.
 
 
 
 

After you confirm a booking with the UK Hotels register, for any of our hotels, your credit card is automatically debited with a £5 per night deposit.  This is then fully credited to your room account and is intended to cost you nothing.

What it does do though, is to show the hotel you are serious in your booking and that your card works.  Which is one of the main reasons that so many hotels are prepared to offer you rooms so much below their 'Rack Rate'.

In the event that you should cancel after your booking is finally confirmed by you, then you would lose the deposit and providing you give 24 hours notice of cancellation,  that is the limit of your liability.

However,  if you simply failed to turn up or cancel your reservation with less than 24 hours notice,  ALL English hotels have the right to debit your card for one nights stay. Whether the hotel actually debits customers usually depends entirely on individual circumstances.
