Terms and Conditions
GENERAL
Campfires may be lit in our designated fire pits unless we decide that there is a safety risk, such as in prolonged periods of hot and dry weather.We sell wood from our felled trees in the winter and foraging for wood is not allowed (it damages our hedges, trees and wild woodland). Please don’t bring firewood with nails in it – it’s very dangerous for our livestock.
Sorry, we don’t accept bookings from single sex groups such as hen parties, stag nights etc…
We welcome tents and camper vans. Unfortunately, the roads here are too narrow for motorhomes and caravans. We don’t have electric hook-up points.
