Bed and Breakfast Insurance

Compare B&B insurance and Guesthouse insurance

Every bed and breakfast owner knows running a guesthouse carries risks to everybody involved, from staff to guests to visitors. But those risks can sometimes seem invisible until something unfortunate happens, and without the correct insurance in place the cost of an accident or mistake could seriously impact your business, reputation and livelihood.

It’s therefore essential to ensure you have the right guesthouse insurance to protect your buildings, furniture, stock and liability to employees and the public. We can arrange a policy that will protect your business against the unexpected.

Insurance for B&Bs and Guesthouses

Bed and breakfast liability insurance

Providing accommodation for guests has many associated risks, and public liability insurance can protect you if they were to injure themselves while at your premises. For instance, if a guest were to fall down the stairs and sustain an injury, they may be entitled to compensation. Having public liability cover included within your B&B insurance can protect your livelihood against potentially large compensation awards and costly legal expenses that may be associated.

Guest house insurance can also cover your liability towards your employees, meaning that if they hurt themselves during the course of their employment, employers' liability insurance should cover any costs and compensation awards.

Buildings and contents cover for B&Bs

As well as considering your guests and employees; buildings, contents and stock will also be a major consideration. Typically, bed and breakfast insurance will cover against a host of perils, including fire, flood, theft, storm, subsidence and many more. With many guest house proprietors sharing aspects of their private accommodation with their guests, protecting your belongings and valuables is essential. The expense of replacing carpets, fixtures and fittings, lighting, plumbing and wiring can all be covered by your guesthouse insurance should something unfortunate happen, so it’s important to take everything into account when selecting the level of cover you require.

B&B Business Interruption cover

Bed and breakfast insurance can also protect your livelihood should you make a claim. For instance, if you suffered a fire at your premises meaning you were unable to trade, business interruption cover can safeguard your income, and may cover additional expenses while you get back up and running.
