Lost Keys: £15 will be added to the main account for any lost room keys.
Time of Arrival and Departure: Please aim to arrive by 5pm and advise us if you expect to arrive after that time so that Reception can notify the duty member of staff. As Reception is not open 24 hours a day, we cannot guarantee that a member of staff will be available after 7pm. It is, therefore, imperative that you inform us by 5pm if you are unavoidably delayed and cannot arrive before 7pm. No arrivals are permitted after 10pm. Please note that dinner cannot be kept for late arrivals. Rooms should be vacated and accounts paid by 10am on the day of departure.
Special Diets: We are able to cater for most dietary needs and allergies at Gladstone's Library. Please ensure that all such requirements are clearly indicated on the booking form and when you check in on arrival. While every care is taken to make sure that suitable meals are provided, the kitchen staff are not specialists in the management of special diets and allergies and we cannot guarantee the suitability of every meal in this respect nor accept responsibility for any illness/injury which may arise due to allergies.
Suggest Donation: A suggested donation to Gladstone's Library of £3 per day will be added to all residential invoices. This enables us to keep our basic rates low whist encouraging those who can pay more to do so. The donation may be amended or removed from the invoice on request. It can be gift-aided on the invoice by all UK income tax and Capital Gains tax payers. For every donation of £1, Gift Aid will currently enable us to reclaim an extra 28p.
Data Protection: Gladstone's Library keeps details of the names and addresses of guests in our bookings computer database. Customers may receive a copy of all information held on their record on request. The data is not sold or divulged to outside parties.
