In the current climate, we have to be very careful not to catch or spread the virus. If you need to cancel your booking, please do ASAP and not last minute.
If you feel you are unwell or you came in contact with someone who has the virus or you just came back from abroad we advise you to stay at home.
Coronavirus symptoms
- a high temperature – you feel hot to touch on your chest or back
- a new, continuous cough – this means you've started coughing repeatedly
How long to stay at home
- if you have symptoms, stay at home for 7 days
- if you live with other people, they should stay at home for 14 days from the day the first person got symptoms
- if you live with someone who is 70 or over, has a long-term condition, is pregnant or has a weakened immune system, try to find somewhere else for them to stay for 14 days.
If you have to stay at home together, try to keep away from each other as much as possible.
