Top Tip – buy a personal safe and put it somewhere that you can lock the room as well for an extra layer of security. Nowadays people don’t really pay cash very often so there is less about but make sure you don’t leave any lying about as opportunity makes the thief. Also check your insurance as you may only be covered to have a certain amount of cash on the premises make sure you know what that is.

TOP TIP use an insurance broker for your insurance. Hotel and guest house insurance is very specialised and if you get it wrong they will not pay out. This is not worth it if it! Using a broker insures two things one you get it right and two that you get the best price. These can be found in your local telephone directory and yellow pages. It is also important to check this every year to make sure you have the best deal.
