Anyone used the Harwich to Hook of Holland ferry service? I'm hoping to drive down to the holiday home later this year, and was thinking of using the service.

There is an interesting article in today's G2 section of the Guardian newspaper by a woman who moved to Italy, founded a successful business, and has now moved back to the UK [but still has the business] because she missed LondonÌý

Mergozzo is a beautiful place.
Have given up hope of getting to Italy this year.
Will keep you updated on changes.
(The Aachen route only adds 120 miles/2hrs to the trip back according to Via Michelin)
Has another look at the map.
If you drive through Germany as far as Aachan, you only have a 3.5 hour trip (about 210 miles) across France to Calais.ÌýÌýA pretty easy non-stop trip.
If you drive through Switzerland (Gotthard tunnel) and into Germany (my Lorrach route) and up through Germany to Strasbourg, you could fill up with petrol and food in Germany just before entering France near Strasbourg.Ìý In theory, you could drive non stop through France to CalaisÌý and avoid the quarantine requirements. ( but no toilet stops).
380 miles approx - 6 hrs on motorway?
Good luck
From 0400hrs Saturday, France and Netherlands join Luxembourg and Belgium etc on the Quarantine List.Ìý ÌýHope you're back in the UK before then
France and Netherlands on list of Quarantine countries from 0400 hrs BST SaturdayÌý
France now on Quarantine List
Ìý
Plus Netherlands and others - so if you drive back from Italy, 14 days quarantine on your entry into UK from 0400 hrs BST Saturday.Ìý
In theory, if you stop in Luxembourg you would have to quarantine on entering Swiitzerland.Ìý Not sure if you would be allowed to just stay overnight and continue your journey.
If you stop in either Luxembourg and/or Belgium on the way back its 2 weeks quarantine on your return to the UK
Ìý
Which route are you taking?Ìý Switzerland has some quarantine areas, such as Luxembourg.

We always stay at the Seerauch Hotel in Beckenreid,Ìý on the shores of Lake Lucerne.Ìý Best hotel we've found in that area, and very convenient to get to from the motorway (5 mins).Ìý
Food is great, service superb, and English spoken fluently.Ìý Their website appears to be in German, but give them a ring.
Good luck with the trip.
