Cleaning and safety
We’re focusing on two key aspects of safety to combat the COVID-19 pandemic – improved hygiene and social
distancing. We want to reassure our guests and our team that we’ve taken every measure possible to help
keep everyone safe, while not losing sight of what we love to do every day.
Hand sanitiser is available around the park in high-risk areas, and at points where hand washing is not
practical.
- We’ve increased cleaning around ‘touch points’ such as doors, handles, switches etc and our
housekeeping team are working hard to ensure all areas are kept clean and regularly sanitised.
- Increased regular hand washing has become the norm and our team are all adhering to this before,
during and after their shifts.
- Social-distancing restrictions will need be complied with and signs to this effect have been
installed in all our public buildings. We ask that all guests are respectful to others during their
stay and make sure they keep to recommended social guidelines.
- We ask guests to wear a mask or face covering when entering any of our public buildings in line with
government advice.
Are you looking to book a break with us in the future?
Book your next holiday with us safe in the knowledge that, if the date needs to change, you can move
it for free.
These extraordinary circumstances make it difficult to commit to future holiday plans, but that
doesn’t have to stop us looking forward to when we can go on holiday again. Our book with confidence
guarantee means that if you’d like to plan your next holiday, we’ll hold the date for you. If things
change in the meantime, such as needing to self isolate or a localised lock down and you need to
change it, we’ll hold your deposit or move your break free of charge. However if we need to close
due to a local or national lockdown we will provide you with the additional options of holding the
price of your booking as credit on your account or a full refund.
Terms and conditions: Bookings are free to change up to 14 days before arrival. Offer is valid on all
2021 bookings and can be moved to an alternative date up to 12 months after the original stay date. If
the price of your new booking is higher, you will need to pay the difference. If the new price is lower,
we will refund the difference. If something unforeseen occurs – such as a requirement to self-isolate or
a localised lockdown – we will extend our book with confidence guarantee right up until the day of your
arrival. If we close due to a local or national lockdown, we’ll provide you with the additional options
(where they were not already available) of holding the price of your booking as credit on your account
or a full refund. If the new price is lower and you have booked to stay at
Whitemead or our cottages we will refund the difference. Offer excludes camping and caravanning at
Whitemead.
