Once at their destination, they should follow <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/local-restriction-tiers-what-you-need-to-know" target="_blank">the rules in that tier</a>.</p><p>Individuals can stay in a hotel during the Christmas period, including accommodation in tier 3 areas, or with other members of your household. People can only meet their Christmas bubble in a hotel if it is the primary residence of one of the members of their bubble. This is also the case for other types of non-private residence, for example an educational establishment or bed and breakfast. Those in a Christmas bubble must not mix in any shared facilities or spaces, like a restaurant. However, households or bubbles can stay in private rented accommodation.</p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 11/12/2020 13:27:05 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries previous answer version 67817 answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries
