The possibility of a summer holiday is not lost after all.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has outlined the next stage of lockdown which will begin early next month.
Under new government guidance, hotels, B&Bs, holiday homes, campsites and caravan parks in England have been given the green light to reopen on 4 July.
There is no limit to the distance you can travel, but if visiting other parts of the UK - Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - you must follow their laws and guidance.
The government are still advising to avoid public transport when traveling, and also advise against sharing a private vehicle with someone outside of your household.
The official advice suggests you should only stay overnight in groups of up to two households, and continue to maintain social distancing as much as possible while doing so.
When will hotels reopen?
Hotels in England are set to open from 4 July under new government measures.
They will be allowed to open from 3 July in Northern Ireland, from 13 July in Wales, and from 15 July in Scotland.
However, just because hotels can open does not mean all will open straight away, as they will need to implement social distancing measures in accordance with government advice.
Accor, which runs 270 hotels in the UK, has announced that it plans to stagger the opening of its hotels from the beginning of July.
What are the new rules?
Under the government rules, hotels and holiday sites will be expected to adapt to social distancing guidelines.
Shared facilities and communal areas will be most affected as they are possible hotspots for contamination.
They will either be closed to visitors or require deep cleaning often.
Kettles in rooms, mini bars and complimentary toiletries may all be a thing of the past as hotels adapt to the new requirements.
Self-service buffets and shared utensils are also likely to be scrapped in a bid to stop cross contamination and limit contact between visitors. Instead many hotels will shift to disposable cutlery.
Like many shops are doing already, hotels are expected to go cashless and install plastic screens at check-in areas to protect their staff and minimise contact.
Visitors will also be asked to check-in online where possible to further minimise direct contact, and will be encouraged to wear face masks and coverings when in communal spaces.
