The information on this database is for the sole-purpose of linking those travelling for work (or other travel exemptions as specified by Government) to Cumbrian businesses who may be able to accommodate them. Please see the specific guidance for NHS staff below.
Whilst overnight stays for leisure purposes (including second homes and caravans) are not permitted, people are allowed to stay overnight away from home if they:
- are visiting their support bubble
- are unable to return to their main residence
- need accommodation while moving house
- need accommodation to attend a funeral or related commemorative event
- require accommodation for work purposes or to provide voluntary services
- are a child requiring accommodation for school or care
- are homeless, seeking asylum, a vulnerable person seeking refuge, or if escaping harm (including domestic abuse)
- are an elite athlete or their support staff or parent, if the athlete is under 18 and it is necessary to be outside of the home for training or competition.
If you need any further help identifying accommodation that suits your needs, please get in touch with us by email at info@cumbriatourism.org and we will do our best to help.
Please be aware that:
- When liaising with a provider, they may request confirmation from your employer and/or require evidence of ID.
- Not all accommodation providers listed are members of Cumbria Tourism and as such, they will not have signed up to our code of conduct. Therefore, we cannot guarantee any of the products or services offered by the participating providers.
