Bridge launches cover for boutique B&Bs

BRIDGE Insurance Brokers has announced the launch of a new insurance scheme aimed at boutique B&Bs.

The product, Hospitality, is aimed at B&Bs and guesthouses with 3, 4 and 5-star or Rosette ratings.

The firm has partnered with Brit Insurance to develop a policy that is specific to their needs and offers revenue protection cover of up to £500,000 over two years, as well as public and product liability cover for up to £5m.

The Manchester-based broker’s head of schemes development, Jason Wootton, said: “From speaking to our customers, we identified a real need for bespoke cover for high end B&Bs.

“Proprietors of high-end establishments need enhanced protection and cover and we’ve ensured Hospitality provides this.  

“A recent survey revealed 40% of British people took their main holiday in the UK in 2011 and this trend is set to increase. Hospitality is aimed at proprietors who want to take advantage of growing market and the increase in demand for customer focused, boutique B&Bs.”
