The staff were all really friendly and the food was exceptional. We ate in the bar both nights and was not disappointed with any of the meals. The rooms were clean but definitely not 4 star, the bed was very hard so not the best nights sleep. The location was great for sightseeing around ...

What are some of the general tips for travellers to Holy Island during the COVID-19 outbreak?
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling today comes with a few extra challenges. Cast your eye over these useful tips before boarding your plane to Holy Island:
  • Before booking anything, find out if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Keep informed with the latest updates by checking government and airport websites.
  • When you pass through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to briefly lower it for identification purposes. Anyone refusing to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
  • To decrease the risk of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA officer.
  • You're permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. This will need to be taken out for X-ray scanning.
  • Put any personal items (e.g, keys, phone and wallet) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during screening.
  • Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Separating food from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
