Our Fife Hotel’s Top Safecation Tips

I think it’s safe to say, we are all ready for a holiday. It’s been a tough old year but with lockdown easing, a staycation might still be on the cards. With uncertainty around breaks abroad, it’s likely that many of us will keep it local and opt for a holiday in the UK instead. Luckily for you, the UK has tons of places to go and things to do!

Our Fife hotel understands that you may be nervous to travel again, so we’ve compiled a list of safecation tips to help quash those anxieties and get you excited about a post-lockdown escape! 

Plan your trip

It’s important to plan your trip. This might seem pretty obvious but it really is important! By planning your journey and activities, your trip is bound to run more smoothly and make you feel less stressed too. Some attractions may be closed, or have reduced opening hours so it’s important to check in advance to avoid any disappointment. Our Fife hotel recommends downloading a travel app, like TripAdvisor to plan your trip.

Pack plenty of supplies

Although lockdown may be easing, it isn’t over yet. It’s still vital to take extra precautions and put your wellbeing and safety first. If you’re planning a trip somewhere in the UK, be sure to pack plenty of supplies, including face masks, hand sanitiser and antibacterial wipes. If you are coming by train or coach, remember, it’s now compulsory to wear a face-covering on any form of public transport.

Avoid crowded areas

With uncertainty around what will be open, and what won’t, you may need to change your original plans quickly. It’s likely that popular attractions will be just that, popular, with long queues and waiting times. That’s why our hotel in Glenrothes recommends having a Plan B up your sleeve. Why not discover some of the local hidden gems? These are likely to be a lot quieter and may make you feel safer too. 

Limit interaction 

As per the Government’s advice, as individuals, we must still practise safe social distancing with those in different households. There are so many ways to reduce human interaction, many of which require little effort. Using contactless payment instead of cash is just one easy way to limit interaction. If you’re coming by train, opt for an e-ticket, this will enable you to be faster and safer. 

During this time, please remain safe and responsible, to enjoy your staycation as much as possible. Our hotel in Fife looks forward to welcoming you, as soon as we reopen our doors!
