New Lockdown update

Dear guests,
Latest update: 16th January

We are currently closedbut are raring to go as soon as we are given the green light.

For additional up to date information. www.gov.uk.

 

How we keep you safe after the lockdown

At Sands Resort, we are very fortunate to have plenty of indoor and outdoor space; ideal for social distancing and being able to enjoy your holidays worry free. 

Additionally, we have closed a third of our rooms to reduce pressure on facilities.

We have put a number of measures in place to make you feel safe and relaxed during your stay and are hoping for your cooperation and support during this challenging time. 

Please note that it is the hotel's policy to not accept bookings from guests who are residents in a Tier-3 or 4 areas.

Please inform reservations of any change in your tier status so that we can amend your reservation accordingly. 

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We look forward to welcoming you back to Sands Resort Hotel soon and in the meantime, stay safe and well.

All the best
Nicholas Malcolm

BASICS TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE

The health and safety of our staff and guests comes first. We have put a number of measures in place to make you feel safe and relaxed during your stay.

Please help us by:

  • not gathering with more than six people (rule of six)
  • only sending one person to reception or calling from your room where possible
  • pre-booking all your meals times and/or takeaways
  • following our one-way systems

Not feeling well? Be kind and protect our other guests by visiting some other time.

We look forward to seeing you!
