A Donegal glamping centre is dealing with a ‘nightmare situation’ after being forced to temporarily close due to an outbreak of Covid-19.
Corcreggan Mill in Dunfanaghy said that almost all of its team has been affected by the virus outbreak.
The camp has closed all serviced accommodation units for a minimum of 10 days from 14th July.
“The ongoing Covid-19 outbreak in the local area has meant that 90% of our team have now been affected by the outbreak and are now in isolation, leaving us with no alternative but to close our serviced accommodation units until such time as it is safe and viable to re-open,” guests were told.
The glamping accommodation (Bell Tents and Railway Cabins) and our Millhouse rooms have all been closed.
A post on Facebook said: “All guests affected by the closure have been contacted by our team but if you are due to visit Corcreggan Mill between now and 25th July, and have any queries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@corcregganmill.com and we will do our best to resolve your query.”
Future guests are being advised that management hope to reopen from 26th July onwards.
They said: “We will be re-assessing the situation next week and are hopeful that we can re-open subject to there being a sufficient number of staff available to provide the service. All staff will be retested and must return a negative result before they can return to work. If we need to extend the closure period beyond 25th July, we will contact guests directly.”
Management have apologised to all guests for the inconvenience.
“It is a very difficult situation for everyone involved and we would ask our guests and customers to bear with us whilst we navigate our way through a nightmare situation, with little to no advice or support being provided by the health authorities.”
