Peckforton Castle is an enchanting hotel in the heart of Cheshire, built in the middle of the 19th century. It is now one of the North West’s leading venues for leisure breaks, corporate events, conferences and weddings.
The owners have set about enhancing the visual aspect of the Grade I listed building, yet still making sure it functions well as a hotel. It stays secure with a Net2 access control system from Paxton.
Simon Farmer of ACC Security Solutions was called in to specify an electronic access control system for the newly restored wing of the castle.
Simon said: “After taking a look around the hotel we knew aesthetics would be very important, Paxton’s Architectural readers were perfect because they are so low profile, it meant we could offer discreet locking for the rooms.”
ACC installed Paxton’s Net2 access control system on 22 doors, including the lift. To enhance the look and style of the hotel, Paxton’s Architectural readers were fitted and branded with the Peckforton Castle logo. They used the free card designer feature in Net2 to create guest access cards in the same way, for a really professional finish.
When guests arrive at Peckforton Castle they are given a professionally designed access card that works the lift and allows entry to their bedrooms. In the lift, they swipe their cards on the reader and the lift knows which floor to take them to – it will not give the guests access to any other floor.
