Guest House Insurance – Is Your Guest House Really Covered?

Guest house insurance can seem complex and confusing; it’s not a simply case of making sure you have your normal building and contents insurance in place, or even for that fact public liability cover.

A guest house is a temporary home for the guest and along with this comes a great deal of responsibility and therefore for the owner, there are many aspects to consider when arranging their insurance:

  • Legal costs of having to defend against claim
  • Bilking – a guest not paying their bill
  • Loss of income
  • Discounts available to guest houses and how to qualify for them
  • Death of a key member for example in a husband and wife run operation
  • Use of guest disclaimers
  • Passenger liability
  • Failure of essential cover
  • Public liability
  • Theft by an employee
  • Forced and violent entry restrictions
  • Guest effects cover
  • Accidental damage to certain items

It is highly unlikely that a guest house would have the proper cover to provide themselves with the adequate insurance and understanding of the above items, unless a specific GUEST HOUSE insurance policy is affected.
