Are there any changes to facilities due to Coronavirus (COVID 19)

Expand

Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, it has been necessary for all holiday parks to make essential changes in order to meet current Government guidelines, therefore the on-site park facilities, activities, events, etc. may have changed and there may be social distancing and other measures in place for everyone's safety. Some general changes are listed below but please check individual home pages and park websites linked from each page for the latest information.

Soft furnishings & decorative accessories (i.e. cushions, throws, artificial flowers, etc.) have been removed from all holiday homes as have all games, books, DVDs, paper leaflets and crayons etc.

Excess cutlery, glasses, crockery etc. have been removed (e.g. if the holiday home sleeps up to 6 we will only provide 6 cups, plates, bowls, etc.).  

Holiday homes are only be used by the person(s) named on the booking form. No other members of the public, other guests or friends are permitted in the holiday home or on the park at any time.

Any social distancing measures in place on or around the park are to be followed at all times. Please ensure you are aware of any additional park rules that have been introduced to support the wellbeing of families and staff working at the park, details of which can be found on the holiday park website.

Although we and the holiday parks will do our best to make sure families have a safe and enjoyable holiday, it should be recognised that each person is responsible for their own/family’s safety and welfare and must ensure they take all necessary precautions to prevent risk of infection from Coronavirus (COVID-19) during their stay.

In order to allow sufficient time for each holiday home to be cleaned in accordance with current government guidelines, it will not be possible to change the allocated check in or check out times.

What amenities can I buy on site?

Expand

Most of the holiday parks have a shop on site selling a variety of basic essentials and food, but not all sites do so please check on the relevant park website. 

You may wish to bring some essential items with you (e.g. soap, gloves, toilet roll, disinfectant, hand sanitiser, etc.) as well as food and drink supplies as this will reduce the need to visit on-site/local shops.

What does maximum capacity mean?

Expand

Maximum capacity is the total number of people allowed to stay in the holiday home - this number will vary depending on the holiday home you have booked but will include babies. This is to comply with the holiday park regulations and insurance requirements.

As an example, if the holiday home says 'sleeps up to six' then no more than six people will be allowed to stay in the holiday home.

What if I feel unwell during my stay?

Expand

If you or any of your party start to display signs of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) while staying in one of our holiday homes, you should inform the park's reception or owner services and contact us as soon as possible. Call 01344 771961 (option 1) or email [email protected] If out of normal hours, all holiday parks have emergency contact information for senior personnel at DEBRA.

It is also important that you immediately self-isolate in the home to minimise any risk of transmission, and request a Coronavirus (COVID-19) test as soon as possible. Please seek assistance from the holiday park if unsure how to do this.

If it is then confirmed that you have Coronavirus (COVID-19), arrangements should be made to return home as soon as you can using private transport - but only if you are able to do so safely.

Please ensure that you follow government guidance on dealing with possible or confirmed Coronavirus (COVID-19) infection: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/coronavirus-covid-19-list-of-guidance 

Both DEBRA and the holiday parks will make every effort to ensure families have a safe and enjoyable holiday, it should be recognised that each person is responsible for their own/family’s safety and welfare and must ensure they take all necessary precautions to prevent risk of infection from Coronavirus (COVID-19) during their stay.
