Ask before you book

Built from what the operator's page left open when we checked.

1. Is your stated capacity the permitted occupancy, or a count of every bed and sofa?
2. Can meals be provided, or does your group cook for itself?
3. Is there one room where everyone can sit together?
4. Can a church bus or coach reach the building, and how many cars fit?
5. Is alcohol allowed on the property?
6. What is the minimum stay?
7. What is the full price, with cleaning fees and taxes?
