All campsites and caravan parks in England, Scotland and Wales, including those with shared facilities, are now able to open as long as they have appropriate social distancing measures in place.
Please be aware holidays parks are having to keep some facilities closed, or operate them at reduced capacity, due to social distancing measures. The owner of the holiday home you are interested in booking can provide more information about this if required.
Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic we have been closely following government guidance to ensure we are doing everything we can to help keep guests and owners safe. Once lettings were allowed to recommence we provided holiday home owners with a guide on the changes they could make to comply with the new guidelines. This included advice on enhanced cleaning between lets and also changes to key handover procedures.
We will continue to monitor government advice relating to Covid-19 and provide appropriate advice to owners and guests where necessary.
Bookings – Changes and Cancellations
If you booked a holiday home that you can no longer stay in then you need to contact the owner to discuss your options.
If you booked via our online booking platform and your booking is directly affected by travel restrictions or a holiday park closure then you are entitled to a full refund. If the holiday home owner hasn’t already been in touch with you then please get in touch with the owner at your earliest convenience and request that they cancel your booking via their booking management area. If your booking is not directly affected by travel restrictions or a holiday park closure then any refund is at the discretion of the holiday home owner.
If you booked privately with the owner, outside of our online booking platform, then you will need to contact the owner to discuss your booking. The holiday home owner may be willing to offer you a full refund, partial refund or alternative dates but this will be at the discretion of each individual owner according to the terms and conditions both parties agreed to at the time of booking.
