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. Are pets allowed?
6. Is alcohol allowed on the property?
