Garden

The garden is not divided into two as this would spoil it, but there are separate private areas, with stone barbecues (charcoal - burning), for groups from each side to sit out and have meals. The West Wing's table seats 8 and the east Wing's table seats 12. Each side has its own herb garden for guests’ use. There is an upper garden, with great views to the hills and the llama field, and a large stone horseshoe-shaped seating area. Fruit bushes and trees have recently been planted in the top garden. Globe artichokes grow prolifically and Alan and Juliet can provide some organic vegetables from their garden in season.

Storage and Laundry

There is a seperate building with washing drying and laundry facilities, this can be used as a secure store for bicycles and canoes also used as a preparation area for your catch.

Special needs
There are 2 bedrooms and a bathroom on the ground floor of the East wing (shower room on ground floor of the west wing), which would be helpful for people with limited mobility. There is ramp access to the house but travel within the house in a wheelchair would be very restricted by furniture, size of shower room etc. We are very keen to make the accommodation suitable for people with special needs so anyone is welcome beforehand to call to discuss whether we can do this. We are also "multi-chemical sensitivity" aware, please read the page concerning this on the menu.
