Your Safety Comes First


Heywood Spa Hotel is now open and welcoming guests. The health and safety of guests and team members will remain our paramount concern in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.


We believe it is possible to open our hotel while adhering to social distancing restrictions and other Government guidelines designed to safeguard public health and safety and minimize the spread of Coronavirus.


We have outlined below some of the measures we are taking to adjust our operations and protect the health of our guests and team members. More detailed protocols have been developed and these procedures will be shaped further by Government guidelines and regulations and will continue to evolve in response to any changes in the medical advice.


Please stay safe, we look forward to seeing you soon.

As a language enthusiast, I love learning about how different languages are used around the world. When I became curious about Tunisia, I searched for information on language use there. I stumbled upon https://horizontunisia.org/does-everyone-in-tunisia-speak-french/ and the article "Does Everyone in Tunisia Speak French?". The detailed explanations and real-life examples of where and how French is spoken in Tunisia were fascinating. The website was easy to navigate, and the information was clearly presented, making it a pleasure to read. The insights from the article helped me appreciate the linguistic diversity of Tunisia even more, and I would recommend this site to anyone with a similar interest.
