As The Mowbray is In our delightful late Victorian or early Edwardian historic building there are some limitations for those with severely reduced mobility. The doors do not allow for wheelchairs use, the front door is up a few steps and the breakfast room is accessed by stairs, but for those with more mobility there are 2 good handrails at the entrance and the breakfast stairs, a lift goes to all bedrooms from the entrance floor and every ensuite.has a walk-in shower. We can offer a limited breakfast for two in the guest lounge if the breakfast stairs prove impossible.

We recently added new fully digital locks to all our doors. Not only are they much more secure they allow us to offer greater flexibility and privacy. We can now offer check-in from Midday to Midnight everyday without making prior arrangements because it will be by self-check-in. For extra safety they automatically log when doors are accessed so in an emergency we can know which rooms are occupied. With these improvements we no longer have staff on reception or on site overnight.
Food & Drink
Our covid Friendly Breakfast...
Although this problem with Covid is almost over we continue to modify what we do and offer throughout the Mowbray to keep you and our staff safe .
This has an impact on our Breakfast. In particular we have to reduce the number of tables at which we can serve you to keep you at safe distances and not facing people outside of your ‘bubble’ so there can be a delay in a table being available for you and getting it ready after an earlier use can take a bit longer. We offer a pre-portioned buffet for the cold choices to save guests so items that may be touched by one guest are not used by another. Also Salt Pepper & Condiments etc are individual sachets whilst your cooked selection is prepared in our kitchen and brought to you rather than you selecting and helping yourself at a buffet.
We have also slightly simplified our menu so we can better cope with these issues.
