It’s been a long lockdown for everybody. So we are delighted to start welcoming you back from the 13th July’20.
We hope that you and your loved ones have kept safe and well during this unprecedented time. We’re working hard implementing the government guidelines for re-opening, to make sure our accommodation is as safe as possible for you and our staff.
We know that guests come to The Old Mill Holiday Cottages for a well-earned break and a chance to switch off. We are very lucky to be surrounded by stunning countryside with plenty of open space, to take advantage of. We are also very fortunate to have large landscaped gardens, with plenty of space to spread out, which is ideal post the lockdown period.
This short guide highlights the adjustments we've made to keep us all safe and well during your stay, and I hope that this puts your mind at rest before your arrival.

Covid Symptoms
The Welsh government have advised, in the event that you develop any symptoms of Covid-19 during your stay:
• Return to your primary residence immediately and self-isolate for 7 days (14 days for everyone else in the party) as instructed by the British and Welsh Government guidance. • Please inform Liz by phone and email immediately as our cleaning protocols are different in this scenario.
Needless to say if one of your party develops symptoms in the days prior to your scheduled stay with us, or if you have been told to self isolate as part of the track and trace programme please follow Government guidance – self isolate, get tested and DO NOT TRAVEL.
Please go ahead and book with us as usual. We will make sure that you get all of the information you need ahead of your stay.
Hopefully this will answer all of your questions about staying at The Old Mill Holiday Cottages, post-lockdown, but If you have any specific concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in touch and I’m always happy to help.
