It’s also a popular spot for stag and hen parties wanting a more rural experience.

Dogs
I’m allowed in the wigwam paddock (not the other accommodation options). I must be tethered in the paddock and kept on a lead around the site. There are great walks around the farm where you can let me off the lead.
