I'm not saying they'll get in or not, just saying they might. Also it lists the restrictions only until 12.00hrs 26.03, although like you I do expect it to be extended. But in these circumstances, via the UK Consulate, they might be able to get a Temporary Permission to access their main residence.

Have read boarders closing tonight. Only Spanish and residents allowed in. I would suggest you check out the situation on offical Spanish site for definitive information.
Suggest checking out Citizen's Advice.
Thanks. Do you have the weblink?

Going on the Portsmouth to bilbao ferry. Have booked a hotel near Madrid as a stopover but will just drive down without a stop if necessary
We will drive through France. How will you make sure they let you enter Spain?
