Holiday cottage in England - summer opening?
Posted: Tue May 12, 2020 9:44 am
Hello,
Just thought I'd check that my reading of the recent Government announcements is right and that English holiday homes will be able to reopen as part of ‘step three’ of the strategy, which will take place no earlier than 4 July? So any bookings before that date definitely shouldn't go ahead.
I have several back to back August bookings and wondering about their feasibility even if they are allowed to open by then, with the need to minimise the risk of infection. I know cleaners can wash linens etc in very hot water and use bleach on hard surfaces but it still leaves all the upholstery, rugs etc and it only seems really safe for visitors AND cleaners if we leave a week between bookings, so guest leaves, 3 day break, cleaner, 3 day break, next guest?
I'm not sure if I should be proactive and try to find out which of my summer guests are still planning to visit and then see what gaps I get, or adopt a wait and see approach at the moment as step 3 may not even happen in early July or things will surely get more clarity. I'm interested in your thoughts... please reply with what you are doing about your summer breaks at the moment.
Thanks
