Laura Ashley Hotels is offering up to 15 per cent off and free cancellation* on all bookings to ensure peace of mind when arranging a post-lockdown escape. Ahead of reopening on 6th July 2020, Laura Ashley Hotels has also launched its Trust in Your Stay programme showcasing their commitment to the wellbeing and protection of their guests and team, and to ensure a safe, clean and comfortable environment.
Surrounded by an abundance of beautiful outdoor space to explore, Laura Ashley Hotels offer a peaceful ambiance and provide the perfect location for a post-lockdown staycation. Priced from £169 per room**, Laura Ashley Hotel The Belsfield, Lake District, nestled on the banks of Lake Windermere, blends style and elegance with classic British glamour and unrivalled views over England's largest lake. The Lake District is known as 'the adventure capital of the UK' and offers activities and adventures to enjoy while physically distancing. Guests can enjoy the local area with a picnic by the lake or go for a cycle or a leisurely walk to enjoy the breath-taking views of the Lake District.
Alternatively, guests can enjoy a relaxing stay at Laura Ashley Hotel The Iliffe, Coventry, a boutique hotel situated within a listed mock Tudor manor house showcasing stylish Laura Ashley décor and carefully restored traditional features throughout, priced from £80 per room**.
The Laura Ashley Hotels portfolio is soon to include Burnham Beeches Hotel, an elegant Georgian mansion set in the tranquil Buckinghamshire countryside close to the ancient woodlands of the Burnham Beeches nature reserve. Priced from £95 per room**, Burnham Beeches Hotel offers newly designed Laura Ashley bedrooms which have been stylishly decorated with accessories showcasing the Laura Ashley Home range and its exquisite, inherently high-quality British fabrics and furnishings, to create a luxurious designer destination.
Laura Ashley Hotels' Trust in Your Stay programme builds upon the already high standards of housekeeping and hygiene at the hotels to ensure guests and staff feel protected, without compromising the high standard and quality of service that guests have come to know, love and expect.
David Westerby, chief executive officer for Corus and Laura Ashley Hotels said: "The safety of our guests and our team is our top priority. To achieve a new higher level of confidence we have researched and deployed new technologies, and we are working with specialist teams to implement new even higher standards of cleanliness to ensure that we can welcome our guests back to enjoy a stay where they feel comfortable, relaxed and most importantly, safe."
New measures include developing an app for guests to use for pre check in communication and registration, virtual bedroom compendiums and menus, and an in-house text messaging service so guests can communicate with the hotel team without any face-to-face contact. The hotel is also offering 'grab and go' meals for guests to enjoy in each of the properties stunning, landscaped gardens or in the comfort of their own room. A seal will be placed on each bedroom door to indicate that the room has not been accessed since being thoroughly cleaned, and cross-infection controls have been further developed through the use of Nano anti-microbial technology on all surfaces and textiles to support the destruction and transmission of the virus.
