How do the new Covid Rules affect my holiday booking?

Holidays are coming!

Thanks to Boris’s announcement yesterday, the end of lockdown is in sight and we are so excited to be welcoming guests to Rock Cottage from 12th April. Whilst we are disappointed not to be open for Easter, at least we are able to host guests for the second week of the Easter holidays.

Open for Easter Holidays!

We have availability the week of 12th – 19th April (which is a Monday arrival day) which is the second week of school holidays for most children. We will be making sure our generous welcome basket is Easter themed! Do let us know if you have any allergies/dietary requirements and we will make sure our treats are suitable. You can book here – Booking Form

Easter in Cornwall is so lovely, lots of fresh air and wonderful walks and spring lambs. You’ll find many of the local attractions run special events for children too so look out for treasure trails and egg hunts in the local National Trust properties and at Camel Creek adventure park.

So how do the new Covid Rules affect my trip?

The first thing to note is that from 12th April we are only able to accept single household bookings.

The great news is that from 12th April the zoos, theme parks and other outdoor attractions can also open. We have a great family day out only 2 miles away at Camel Creek www.camelcreek.co.uk

It is also expected that local pubs with outdoor space will open – we have 2 within walking distance both with outdoor space (fingers crossed they open, do check their own websites first!). The Ring O’bells is a 2 minute walk and the Pickwick is only a 10 minute walk.

Lets not forget all our lovely local shops will open from 12th April too so plenty of local goodies to stock up from Cornish Fudge to stylish interior design shops. Padstow has a huge array of shops to browse in.

When can 2 households stay together?

Lots of people like to travel with friends or perhaps bring their parents on holiday with them.

The current “roadmap” suggests that 2 households will be able to mix indoors from 17th May. If you are planning a trip away with another household you will need to make sure you book for after 17th May.

Will all the local attractions be open?

We can’t promise that everything will be open locally or that local businesses will follow the suggested opening schedule set by the Government, but we think everyone will be raring to open and welcome back guests as soon as they can.

We suggest that if you have any particular queries about shops or pubs that you contact then direct as they will be happy to help.
