The bad news - our extended stay at Coverack CL had to be cancelled.

The good news our £200 deposit was returned the following day.   Now that is what I call service.  Thank you Nicola.

Well I never! Fancy that.😀

Somewhat contradictorily the website also says -

"Your Caravan or Motor home is your own self contained space which provides complete isolation from other individuals during these unprecedented times. If you need to be 100% safe & sure just don't use the site communal facilities, (shower & toilet) use your own. Caravan & Motor home time away in the remote countryside is surely a great deal safer than being in an urban environment, and a superb way to relax.
"Stay Healthy at Riverside"

I've alerted Rowena in case the club need to know about this.

TW, the words you quoted from the website were on the page I saw initially, where it said that "Despite the recommendations from the C. & M. club, Riverside intends to stay open".   It now still shows a lot of the original comments, including my other quote "If you need to be 100% safe & sure just don't use the site communal facilities, (shower & toilet) use your own". 

I was going to bring it to the attention of the CL team, but as you have already brought it to Rowena's attention, I'm sure it will get to them.

Hopefully although it would do no harm to tell the CL team as well.

Email sent TW.  Unbelievably, on checking again this morning, the same page was showing again that they are staying open:

"Riverside will remain open all year, despite the Coronavirus".

Despite the recomendations from the C. & M. club, Riverside intends to stay open.
The remoteness and isolation of our location has surely got to be one of the most safe environments.
Much safer than Buses, Trains, Schools, Supermarkets, Shops and the urban High streets.

Sheesh! Unreal!

It sure puts me off ever using that site as I wonder how many other rules/laws he flouts.

Isn't it?

Yes, quite, and from the sound of it he's a greedy so-and-so as well, not even willing to transfer the £40 deposit for another booking for the poster up thread.  I suppose his argument is that he's still open, so no need to cancel.  It beggars belief.

Given the reluctance to refund or transfer the deposit, if you get Coronavirus on site, you'll probably be invoiced for it as an additional service .., sealed

Maybe we should all boycott the place

Just let Cumbria Police know that he’s advertising. Our local Police have provided residents with a contact address to let them know of deliberate and unsafe breaches of the Government advice about restricted travelling and staying local. I’m sure his village neighbours will be more than impressed.

But on their website it says they are taking bookings for later in the year - so that's OK isn't it? They are not open.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm now busy taking your bookings for 2020.
(And prices have been kept the same as 2019)

Find the site on facebook and join the Riverside T.P. Group.
"Riverside will re-open, later in 2020 whenever possible".
The remoteness and isolation of our location has surely got to be one of the most safe environments.
Much safer than Planes, Cruise Ships, Buses, Taxis, Trams, Trains, Schools, Gyms, Supermarkets, Shops and the urban High streets.

In the mean time the grass will be regularly cut, trees & hedges will be manicured, weeds will be kept under control, the red squirrels and birds will be fed.
