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 a church bus or coach reach the building, and how many cars fit?
  3. Is alcohol allowed on the property?

Also read what "sleeps 30" really means and the full question list.
