Can we share rooms with others?

[HelloDaisy]

Quick question- can I go away for a weekend and share a room with others outside my household? There will be 4 of us.

I don’t think it’s a good idea but the others are saying it’s fine and I don’t want to be the bad guy who cancels but can’t find the answer anywhere in guidelines?

You are supposed to maintain the 2m social distance rule with those outside your family home.

Could a hotel room accommodate that? I can't imagine it would.

We can't in Scotland. Only with own household or bubble

Are you staying in the UK?

Yes it in the UK and we will be in a motor home.

I can’t work out if it’s a bad idea or just my anxiety.....

In England I think you can have up to 6 indoors but socially distanced.

In Scotland its only 2 households so wouldn't be allowed
Also take into account local lockdown restrictions if there are any where you are going

A motor home doesn't sound large enough to socially distance 4 of you

Plenty kids still having sleepovers so I can't see why not

They shouldn't be having sleepovers if they can't socially distance. I wouldn't allow my kids to host one or go to one

Although I'm in Scotland in local lockdown so we can't even go indoors on a social visit

I hope you're not planning to go to Wales or Scotland as this will be illegal in both places and things like this give motorhomes a terrible reputation

Not in Wales.

It’s a bad idea anywhere though TBH.

We were planning on going hill walking in the middle of nowhere In England but I will cancel. I wasn’t happy about it but others made me feel as though I was being overly anxious.

Thanks for confirming my thoughts...

You're in very close quarters in a motor home, sharing facilities too. That's one trip I absolutely wouldn't go on; regardless of what the guidelines say, I wouldn't feel at all comfortable with it.

You are supposed to social distance from everyone not in your household. So unless the motor home is absolutely enormous that will be impossible, and therefore not allowed.
