Self-catered holidays are welcoming guests back again from April 12, which includes sites such as caravan parks, but only with one household sharing a property.
From May 17, groups of up to six people from different households or unlimited numbers of people from two households can share a holiday let together.
From June 21, there will be no restrictions on group sizes for holidays.
It’s worth noting though, that the dates for coming out of lockdown are not set in stone.
