Corona Virus Protection
The Coronavirus pandemic has impacted all our lives and although we still need to take great care to protect each other, the number of new cases in the UK appears to be falling. Our top priority, as always, is the safety of our staff and customers, and we are committed to doing our best to help prevent further spread of the virus. Following government guidelines, we have introduced a number of safety measures so that guests can feel completely safe whilst staying at Howgill, giving you the confidence to book a stay with us. We have received excellent feedback regarding our COVID protection strategy from customers who have already stayed with us this year.
