You're allowed to travel outside your area if you want.  It is advisory, not law.

People were "advised" against going abroad, advised against "socialising" in pubs, bars, restaurants, their gardens..

Ignore it, and enjoy your holiday.

And this is why we're in the mess we're in:  Self-exceptionalism.  Almost everyone agrees with the rules but almost everyone seems to find a justification for why they should break them.

I completely agree. We've really stuck to all of the rules and guidance throughout but feel like there's no other option go against guidance here (and I do appreciate that it's advisory, not law but it's in place for a reason). But if it's a choice between going, not going and losing £295 or paying £95 to move the booking, we'll be going
Thanks to everyone for taking the time to reply. It stinks but (for the 100th time this weekend), 'it is what it is'!

I would add a word of caution here.
What you do if you booked a hotel room & then got to the hotel, and on realising your address, the hotel refuses you a room?
We're in a welsh breakdown area and even going into a pub means showing proof that you are from that area....& you've got no chance in getting into a pub in another area!
