Before you Travel

• Please check back on this page for any updates.

• Until guidance changes, you should continue to wear a face covering in any shared indoor spaces, except when eating or drinking.

For Bed & Breakfast guests :

• We have changed the way we serve breakfast, to meet social distancing and enhanced hygiene standards, and expect this to continue for some time. We ask everyone to set a breakfast time so that we can be sure to spread out. We ask you to order everything from your table, rather than approach a shared buffet.
• Hand sanitiser is available where items may be handled by more than one person.
• We are making provision for you to bring take-away food back from local businesses and enjoy an evening meal here in the conservatory. Tables must be pre-booked to ensure rules on distance and numbers are maintained.
