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. Which rooms and bathrooms work for a wheelchair or walker?
4. Are pets allowed?
