Enjoy our pool, games room and gardens

We have 2 acres of gardens that guests can enjoy for relaxation or play. The established shrubs and trees divide the gardens into smaller areas meaning you can find a quiet spot to read while the children play nearby. The shared games room and sandpit allow children to play together and make new friends.

Outdoor heated swimming pool

**NOW OPEN for the 2025 season**

Jump in and make a splash in our heated pool from the start of May until the end of September each year. It's the perfect setting for everyone, including the littlest swimmers, to take a dip.

The pool is 11.5m long x 5m wide and is 1.68m deep at the deepest point. The shallow end has a set of steps so you can easily and safely access the pool.

As a child-friendly site we prioritise safety so the pool is surrounded by secure fencing and a code is required to access the area. This ensures that small explorers can't end up in the pool area unsupervised.

Free use of the swimming pool is included in your cottage rental.

We don't have a booking system for the pool; it is a shared facility and open to all guests.

"Getting to help feed the animals each day, a lovely swimming pool, a sandpit and a games room were all brilliant, particularly for the kids."
