GUEST INFORMATION

Welcome to the Millstream Hotel, a family owned and run property since 1976. We hope you enjoy your visit with us and the warm hospitality from the team. The gardens that surround the hotel are carefully tended and provide a wonderful place to relax in the warmer weather. Overlooking the stream in the side garden is an oak Gazebo which provides shelter from the rain or sun. In the summer months there are tables and chairs on the terrace where you can enjoy morning coffee, a light lunch, afternoon tea, a cocktail before dinner or an al fresco meal.
We include unique touches with every stay with us. Guests will enjoy a complimentary glass of wine or hot drink on arrival, personal check-in and rooming, plus full cooked to order breakfast with all stays.
We look forward to welcoming you to the hotel where you can be assured of the very best attention.

When we do so we are regulated under the General Data Protection Regulation 2016 (“GDPR”) which applies across the European Union (including in the UK) and we are responsible as ‘controller’ of that personal information for the purposes of those laws. The GDPR will be supplemented in due course by additional UK specific data protection legislation including the Data Protection Act 2018.

The personal information we collect and use

We collect personal information when you stay with us in our hotel, when you reserve a table at our restaurant or when you expressly sign up to our mailing list or Loyalty Club. We collect the following personal information when you provide it to us:

  • Title, name, address, telephone number, email address plus secondary contact details (as required for multiple guests)
  • Financial data including payment details (e.g. credit card details) and transaction details about your bookings
  • In course of our Loyalty Club services we also collect your date of birth, title and anniversary (if applicable and if you choose to provide this information to us)
  • Any other information that we are required or need to obtain from you in order to provide our services – this will be made clear to you when you ask to receive any of our services

Information collected from other sources

We may be provided by information about you by a fellow guest or diner who is making a reservation or booking for multiple individuals.

We may also collect the above information from third party booking sites. These sites should have their own privacy policies as to how they use your data.

CCTV systems are installed at our premises. We are responsible for the CCTV systems at our premises.  All internal and external CCTV cameras are clearly labelled or otherwise notified to staff and visitors and are visible.  Typically, they are positioned on the exterior of the building, the car park and the reception area, but may be repositioned from time to time to ensure their effective use. Images are recorded and retained for the period of 4 weeks. This is primarily to assist with security and safety of our staff and visitors to our premises, although in rare cases we may use CCTV footage in investigations.

  • Reserve a table in our restaurant and to confirm that reservation with you;
  • With your explicit consent to add you to our mailing list, this option is offered when you make a booking at our hotel or restaurant. This involves us sending periodic emails or postcards to you with news about our hotel and restaurant as well as special offers. We currently use MailChimp to distribute these emails. You may easily unsubscribe on any email you receive, you can also contact the details at the bottom of this policy to do this for you or to opt out of receiving hard copy materials;

  • Invoice you for our services and collect unpaid bills;
  • To monitor the security and safety of our guests and diners and their property.

Who we share your personal information with

We routinely share the data listed above with our marketing partners MailChimp and Explosive Marketing for them to process it on our behalf.  We also use a third party system called ResDiary to manage our restaurant bookings and Guestline to manage room bookings. This data sharing enables us to offer you the most efficient service and to receive special offers and news from us if you have opted into our marketing scheme or Loyalty Club.

We will share personal information with law enforcement or other authorities if required by applicable law or by order of court or other competent regulatory body.

We will not share your personal information with any other third party to use for their own purposes unless permitted by applicable law.

Some of the information you provide to us may be transferred to, stored and processed by third party organisations which process data for us and on our behalf.
