The UK Prime Minister made it very clear that the pandemic is still with us. Whilst most legal restrictions have been removed, he also emphasised that the responsibility sits with all of us to do our best to keep everyone as safe as possible.
With cases of COVID-19 increasing at this time throughout the country we are making some tough decisions that we feel are right for our guests, our colleagues and our business. This means that we are stepping away from restrictions cautiously. On our villages, we feel this is the responsible approach and reflects government advice. As pre-bookable pool slots help us manage capacity they help keep everyone safe and this is the reason we’re keeping them.
We are planning to increase the number of pool slots once we feel it is safe to do so. We are then hoping to increase swim slots further and also add an extra evening ‘turn up and swim’ session to provide additional flexibility. Unfortunately, we cannot predict how things will pan out over the coming weeks and months and cannot therefore finalise details or dates.
We are sorry if this does not meet everyone’s expectations but we feel that this is the responsible approach. We are still offering our Book with Confidence Guarantee and we are happy to help any guests that would rather move their breaks to a later date or indeed cancel with a full refund.
