There’s no on site accommodation but loads nearby. We have lists.

Yes, we do. We also have a customised pay bar.

Of course, but they need to be supervised. At all times. We have a lake, fish pond and duck pond. Enough said.

We have horses on site so dogs are not encouraged. If they are invited they need to stay on leads and any mess cleared up. It’s not much fun for them and they’d much prefer a dog sitter.
