Park Update on Covid-19

22 March 2021

Following last week’s announcement for the First Minister, we would like to clarify the current situation with our customers.

Owners of static caravans/lodges who reside in mainland Scotland are able to use their holiday homes from the 26th April, unfortunately travel restriction currently still prohibit any residents of England, Ireland and Wales from travelling into Scotland from the 26th April (this date is under review with the Scottish Government).

Booking of staycations (self-catering, touring caravans, motorhomes, glamping and camping) we are open for bookings from 26th April for residents of Scotland.
Booking dates for English, Ireland and Wales residents of staycations are under review as per Scottish Government guidelines.

We will update any changes as and when they happen, social distancing guidelines also still apply. These current dates are under constant review and may change at anytime.

We are so looking forward to welcoming you all back.  We have missed you….

26 February 2021

Following the announcement from the Scottish Government this week we continue to be in Level 4 until the 26th April. Therefore, all holidays starting prior to 26th April will unfortunately need to be postponed.  We have sent an email to all bookings the affected, but if we’ve missed you please contact us by emailing to info@gillespie-leisure.co.uk or call 01557 870267.
The English Government has announced the lifting of the stay at home from 29th March, however this doesn’t apply to Scotland. We remind our customers travelling from England that they cannot come to the Parks until the Scottish Government lift restrictions.

We are currently working with reduced office staff so your patience will be appreciated, we will respond to you as soon as possible.

23 December 2020

The recent restrictions announced by the First Minister and the Prime Minister on 19th December have effected what happens on our Park during the Christmas and New Year period.

Currently only customers from Tier 1 can travel to the Park but must leave before the end of Christmas Day. Then from 00.01hrs on Boxing Day the First Minister has put the whole of Scotland into Tier 4 for 3 weeks which involves strict travel restrictions and rules.

Though the Park will be open (until we are informed otherwise) customers cannot travel to their holiday home under the current legislation not even for essential repairs and no cross border travel between Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales will be permitted.

We ask all our customers to follow these rules, made by the government, to keep everyone safe during these difficult times. So please stay at home. For further information please use this link www.gov.scot/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-protection-levels/pages/protection-level-4/

On behalf of everyone at Brighouse Bay Holiday Park have a happy Christmas and all the best for 2021.  Let’s hope it will be better than 2020 for everyone.
