Facilities

Courtyard

The courtyard is a sheltered sun trap in summer and spring and can be used for guest relaxation, barbeques, alfresco meals or meeting with other guests.  To ensure the tranquility of the courtyard we ask that cars be parked in the car park (except for loading and unloading) and that activities such as ball games etc are undertaken in the fields or the guest lawn area.

"The Mini-Fort has everything a child could wish for in a Climbing Frame. The tower makes a great play deck and look out point and offers a variety of different ways of getting up and down. Scale the climbing wall with its professional climbing rocks, climb up the angled ladder or swing across from the monkey bars, then make a quick getaway down 8' wave slide."

"Lovely Personal touches. Excellent break in excellent cottage and facilities"
