Members of staff use it at the start of each shift and we regard it to be at the heart of our defence and virus management.
Common Areas

All communal areas are thoroughly deep-cleaned to an exceptional standard and will continue to be so. A new comprehensive Ozone cleaning regime has been introduced to ensure the highest levels of hygiene are achieved prior to and maintained throughout your stay. This is through the Tersano system which is a Stabilised Aqueous Ozone process which kills all know bacteria, spores and viruses. It has been effective in the treatment of swimming pools, aircraft and air-conditioning for decades.
Bedrooms
Our housekeeping team have undertaken training in the effective prevention of virus transmission and will wear the appropriate PPE while working.
Every guest bedroom is thoroughly deep-cleaned to an exceptional standard using the Tersano process and to complete the process, the room as been filled with natural Ozone in a calibrated dose to kill all known pathogens, viruses, spores and bacteria. The Ozone is converted back to Oxygen on completion and this makes the room ready for occupation.
