We are required to have full names and contact numbers of all guests over the age of 16. Please ensure you email us these details prior to your stay. All information will be stored in compliance with GDPR.
Please take a look at our terms and conditions, prior to your stay, as we have amended these with temporary updates in accordance with government advice.
Check-in
When collecting keys from our office in Perranporth, the following social distancing guidelines will be in place on arrival:
- Our office will be closed to the public. We therefore ask you to stay the recommended safe distance from the front door (this will be marked on the ground) and we will come to you
- Our aim is to stagger check-in times for guests, so we will contact you to confirm when your property is ready. However, please bear with us as cleaning may take longer than normal
- If you arrive and there is a small queue, please stay two metres from those around you and wait where marked
- We ask that only one person comes to collect the keys please
- All keys and permits will be sanitised

Our community
Our priority is to keep not just guests, but our local community safe too.
Our shops are open, our restaurants adapting to offer takeaway options and our pubs are serving, all with social distancing and safety measures in place.
As facilities open, and further guidelines are announced we will be sharing our guide to what’s open and how you can holiday safely. We will also put together a guide on which attractions are open to the public, and how you can visit safely.
Please bear with us as we adjust and adapt to a new way of working. We appreciate your understanding in following our guidelines, and hope that you enjoy a wonderful and well-deserved holiday.
