Many homes accept visitors’ dogs, please see list on page 8.

What time can be spent in the B&B?

Arrivals - most B&Bs are private homes so the owners might not be there all day. The general arrival time is between 17.00 and 19.00 hours. Your host will probably ask you about this. Please contact them if you are delayed.

CHESHIRE BOUTIQUE BARNS

Departures - guests are expected to leave after breakfaston the day of departure, usually by 11.00am. The majority of B&Bs allow access during the day for guests staying more than one night. Please check with the owner as you are staying in a home and not an hotel. Are any of the B&Bs of special or historical interest?

Some of the B&Bs are very old, many with an interesting history. Those described as “listed” or “Grade II listed” or “Grade I listed” the buildings are registered as having features of historical interest. Planning restrictions to preserve their character can restrict the alterations to the structure. Am I allowed to smoke? Smoking is banned in all public indoor places in the UK. It is not allowed in any of the B&Bs featured in the brochure. Please ask hosts about ‘smoking areas’.

LANGSIDE, KILMARNOCK

We value all feedback and will act on it. Any praise is passed to the owner. In the unlikely event that you have cause to complain, please try to settle the matter with the host at the time. Many problems can be solved this way. However, if any home falls below the standards generally expected, please write to us so we can take action in the interests of all concerned.
