Hotel and B&B owners in Lincolnshire and Newark expect boost in bookings

With many lockdown restricitons now eased, foreign holidays are back on the table.

But accommodation owners across Lincolnshire and Newark hope people will look at taking holidays in the area instead.

Marianne Overton runs Hilltop Farms near Welbourn, she's expecting to see a rise in bookings.

"It's always difficult because you're there to provide a place for people to be in and then you're not allowed to.

"But we have had some people who are essential workers, so we have had a little bit coming in."

She says they're taking measures to keep people safe.

"It's very safe, we have thought very hard about it.

"It's important that we are careful between residents who come where there's a little gap, where we make sure everything is entirely aired and clean and tidy."
