With Covid cases lowering daily the Scottish government has announced advice that will allow a gradual reopening of the tourist industry. Our priority is still very much the safety of our guests, staff and the population of Skye and we have had to make some major changes. In keeping with current UK government guidelines we can now offer the following:
From 3rd July 2020 Enquiries by email only please
The hostel is available for exclusive use only to a single party from one household during this first phase of reopening.
Minimum length of stay – 3 days
From 15th July 2020 Enquiries by email only please
Private rooms will be available to be booked by more than one household as per government guidelines. Procedures will be implemented to reduce risk for staff & guests including a good system for social distancing within all areas of the hostel. This may include time slots for using the kitchen and shower room with requirements for guests to disinfect and clean behind themselves.
Minimum length of stay – 3 days
There are justifiable concerns about the return of tourism and we need to build trust to make the reopening work. Along with many other hosts on Skye we are encouraging guests to stay for longer. We suggest a minimum of 3 days to lower the chances of transmitting the virus and will be pricing in such a way as to make this more attractive. You will be asked for social distancing details for all members in your party. Any booking that needs to be cancelled because of Covid will be given a full refund.
We also have 2 self-catering cottages available by the week in the picturesque village of Luib, just 7 miles north of Broadford available from the 3rd July 2020.
Because of the complexities involved all bookings are being dealt with individually. For room availability & booking info please contact us by e-mail on bookings@skyebasecamp.co.uk
