Had enough of Covid-19?
Gillian Dunwell • February 27, 2021

Exaggeration or cause for concern? Covid-19 over the last year has affected everybody in one way or another.

It has made some people scared to go out, while other believe it has been blown out of all proportion. The majority are somewhere in the middle.

Which one you personally believe really does not matter. When we are under restrictions, the more people comply, the more the Government figures go in the right direction, the sooner the restrictions are lifted.


It is frustrating that we can’t do what we want, but there are always times you can’t do what you want. Be it financial restrictions, availability etc.

At the end of the day what we are being asked to do is not putting us at risk, but protecting us.

What do I believe?

That there is a virus that spreads easily, to most people not too bad, but can kill. So because of that I am taking as many precautions as I can.


  • At the Rose Dene we are cleaning all the rooms using a disinfectant as usual.
  • Only now after the initial clean, all services are getting disinfected again with appropriate product. Including all touch areas.
  • Some items may be removed from the room if we feel it can’t be disinfected between guests.
  • Hand sanitizer is provided in all public areas and touch areas are frequently sprayed with alcohol sanitizer. (Smelly stuff). 
  • We are allowing at least 3 hours between check out and check in (guidelines say virus is airborne no longer than this).
  • We are staggering breakfast so that we don’t have as many people in the breakfast room and we have done away with self-service elements.
  • Obviously we are abiding by all Government guidelines eg mask wearing, 2 metres etc.

If you are worried about the virus you can see we are doing everything we can to ensure your safety. If you are a non-believer, this does not impact your stay. So it is a win/win. We also have the “Good to go” certification and the AA accreditation.


We take the worry out of your stay.
