East Creech Farm Campsite

COVID -19

As with last season we will be following the Government guidelines, be assured we will operate with your safety and ours as our absolute priority.

We do hope to open on 1st April 2021.
However, we may have to postpone based on Government Guidance available closer to the time. We are also hoping to re-open as many of our facilities as possible, and are already working very hard to achieve this but it will depend on Government Guidelines.

Currently, we are only taking bookings for units that could manage with their own facilities.
Some dates are already fully booked as we moved many bookings from 2020 to 2021.

We will not be taking any group bookings at this time, as we need to wait for Government Guidelines on this and we do not want to take bookings and have to cancel them.

As with last season our capacity will be much less.
We are still not taking any "turn up" campers at all this year. BEFORE arrival you are required to read and agree to our COVID-19 precautions.

We have been adhering to the Government advice throughout and will continue to do so for the duration.
As the Government has said many times, the virus is still a threat and we must stay alert to its potential to infect any one of us at any time. It will definitely not be business as usual for us again season.

Businesses across the board are being encouraged to devise their own ways of managing their practices and premises in order to comply, bringing in a variety of different protocols that suit their circumstances. They are also being required by law to undertake a risk assessment with regard to Covid-19. Each campsite will differ to how they operate according to their own set up; what one campsite will be able to do, another will not and vice versa.

The main issues for us at East Creech Farm are:

• The safety of the working family owners, all of whom live on the farm, we all need to be fit and able to work, so our protection is paramount.
• The safety of our local community and our visitors.
• The social distancing rules which will need to be implemented across the site.
• Suitable and sustainable cleaning regimes everywhere.

The Measures we will be taking:

Apart from the self-explanatory and standard measures that all businesses are implementing such as hand gel points, cleaning regimes and PPE etc, these are the ones that are specific to our site.

1. In line with the thinking of many sites, we will be reducing the number of people on site at any one time.
2. Bookings will be pre-booked only.
3. We will require guest to pay in full by card over the phone or on line by BACS before arrival to lessen customer contact and alleviate the need to come to the Farmhouse.
   Details of how and where you will be pitched will be given to you nearer to your holiday.
4. Currently we are unsure what communal areas will be open; this includes the play park.
5. The farmhouse will not be open for bread, milk and eggs. However, this will be available from the Tea Room during their opening hours.
6. We will be issuing a new set of on-site rules and etiquette to those that do come and by paying us in advance you will be agreeing to these on-site rules we will be operating a zero-tolerance policy for any deliberate flouting any of these rules. This may sound rather severe but it will be for the benefit and safety of everybody.

We will keep our plans under review and update you.
All our measures are designed to comply with Government rulings and ultimately limit the spread of the virus and reduce risk for everybody.

The Farmhouse and Cottage

Will open but we have very limited availability for July/August.

Camping Pods

Will be operating and have access to a shower/toilet for the guest. Currently there is plenty of availability. These facilities cannot be shared with any camper under any circumstance.

Tea Room

The Tea Room will be following Government Guidelines on Opening and plans to open 27th March 2021.
The Tea Room will be open 7 days a week from 8.30am - 4pm. Orders will be taken at one door and delivered out another door.

Sorry but no facilities will currently be available (toilet) there is a very valid reason for this. Strict social distancing will be in place at all times.

As a small family business, we really do appreciate your continued support

STAY ALERT AND STAY SAFE
