More information about social distancing and Covid-19 safety

We would like to reassure guests that although restrictions are easing, the pandemic is not yet over, so we will remain cautious to protect our guests and staff whilst taking steps to return to normal operations. We will continually review our approach in line with the latest best practice guidance.

Please note: due to the additional intensive cleaning involved in complying with the Covid Safe cleaning procedures, arrival time is now 4.30pm and departure time 9.30am.ย We will be sending you instructions regarding check in along with the latest advice and guidance for you to get the most out of your stay three weeks before your arrival.

Most importantly please do not travel if you begin to feel unwell or show COVID symptoms before your holiday.ย We only have one hospital in Cornwall and the pressure on the NHS is already immense. If you should become ill during your stay, you will be required to isolate and travel home as per Government advice.

Please note we do not cover cancellation if you test positive for Covid, need to self-isolate or choose not to come and these situations are covered by our standard Terms & Conditions which can be foundย here. We strongly recommend that you can take out travel insurance to cover you in these circumstances.

All of our cottages have their own gardens set in 30 acres of woods and meadows, so there is plenty of space to roam and play. Our ethos is about giving families time to spend together which is so important, now more than ever.

As ever we will be operating in line with the latestย Government and industry COVID-19 guidelinesย and conducting a risk assessment and keeping in place processes to maintain cleanliness and aid social distancing as appropriate. We have been assessed by VisitEngland as โ€œGood to Goโ€ and have also attained theย AA Covid Confidentย andย Quality in Tourism Safe Clean and Legalย accreditations.

Guest feedback on our operations during the pandemic has been very positive:

โ€œExcellent management of the distancing needsโ€ฆmeant we were really relaxedโ€ S. Chapman

โ€œWe wanted to come somewhere that we knew would provide a first class holiday whilst fully adhering to the guidelines for everyoneโ€™s safety. There was no doubt in our mind that Bosinver could offer us that.โ€ Sarah Z-S.

โ€œAnother brilliant stay and canโ€™t thank you enough for clearly working tirelessly to ensure that you are COVID secure, whilst also being able to enjoy the Bosinver magicโ€ฆwe all agree that the changes you have made are great and still allowed us to enjoy the facilities and animal feeding. It was particularly nice to have the pool to ourselves!โ€ Laura B.

The additional hygiene and social distancing measures we will be maintaining are outlined below:

Cleaning Procedures

As many of you will know, we already have very high standards. However, we have increased the level and frequency of cleaning in the cottages and communal areas with anti-viral products for your protection, keeping very strictly in line with the COVID-19 Cleaning Guidance issued by the Professional Association of Self Caterers (PASC).

Hand sanitiser dispensers are now situated around the farm but we would appreciate you bringing your own small bottle of hand sanitiser to carry at all times for that extra peace of mind.

Facilities and Activities on Site

All of our activities are available but we have made changes to them to make them safer for staff and guests.

Animal feeding will be conducted to ensure there is enough space for social distancing. The animals are also available for you to visit in their sheds and out in the fields at any time.

Likewise with the swimming pool โ€“ when you receive the pre-stay email three weeks before your stay you will be able to pre-book hourly slots using an online calendar. There will additionally be an open swim session from 12 โ€“ 1pm every day except Saturday with a maximum of 25 people in the pool.

A pony ride will be available to you on either Monday, Tuesday or Thursday.

Our soft play is available to 2 families at a time. It will be closed for cleaning between 8.30 and 9.30am daily. The Games Room is also available to 2 families at a time.

The Gym will be available to 2 adults at a time or more if from the same household.

There will be Wild Kids forest school sessions on Thursday evening (requires 6 more than children to run in low season). Please book in reception on arrival.

Please still bring your own face masks and note that participation in any activities will be at your own risk.

Communal Areas and Equipment

All of our extras such as bed guards and travel cots are available, so please let us know prior to your stay if you require any of this kit. The welly and beach gear sheds are also now available for guests to borrow items from.

Out and About

We have developed a new Touchstay guest app which provides you with all the info you need for your holiday in a handy digital guide. This replaces our old cottage information folders. You will be sent a link to this three weeks before your stay.

The โ€˜new normalโ€™ has driven innovation across hospitality businesses and many attractions, restaurants and pubs are still implementing measures to ensure safe management of visitor numbers. To avoid disappointment please plan ahead, check their individual websites for opening details and how to book.

We have lots of advice about where you can go so you can avoid potential crowds. You shouldnโ€™t need to squeeze in to already crowded beaches and spaces.

We hope this information is helpful. Weโ€™d like to reassure you that we are doing everything we can to ensure your safety and give you the full Bosinver experience.

If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to email us atย reception@bosinver.co.ukย or call us on 01726 72128 and we will do our utmost to help.

Rest assured that we will continue to do all we can to still make your Bosinver holiday the best ever.

Pat, Dave, Paul and the Bosinver Team
