ENGLAND is coming out of lockdown this week, with the official rules being relaxed from December 2.

However, the new rules will depend on what tier you are placed in – we’ve explained what this means for staying at hotels, B&Bs or other accommodation.

Are hotels and B&Bs open in tier 3?

In tier 3, no accommodation is allowed to stay open which includes hotels and B&Bs.

The government advice explains: “Accommodation such as hotels, B&Bs, campsites, and guest houses must close.

“There are several exemptions, such as for those who use these venues as their main residence, and those requiring the venues where it is reasonably necessary for work or education and training.”

Only restaurants serving takeaway or delivery services can stay open in hotels.

Anyone with bookings will be contacted by the hotel to move or cancel their stay.

Are hotels and B&Bs open in tier 2?

Hotels and B&Bs are able to open in tier 2, along with campsites and caravan parks.

However, households are still not allowed to mix in accommodation with the rule of six only allowed outside, so you can only stay with your household.

Hotels will also have to close their restaurants by 11pm but can still offer room service.

If you have booked to stay with people not in your household, you should get in touch with the hotel.
