Things to consider before making your booking

  • We cannot accept bookings from or for guests under the age of 21. (The lead person staying on site MUST be at least 21 years old)
  • Group bookings can only be accepted for a maximum of 3 cabins and there must be no over occupancy.
  • If you are NOT bringing a dog PLEASE can you try to book a PET FREE pod in order for us to have plenty of pet friendly options available to those who wish to bring their dogs! (If we encounter difficulties we will look at the bookings we have in and where possible swap pods around if someone has booked into a pet friendly pod but has no dog booked in. This is subject to us having the same standard of pod available which is in the pet free category).
  • Our standard check in days are: Monday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday with arrival times between 4.00pm & 8.00pm.
  • The departure time is 10.00am prompt.
  • Under NO circumstances do we allow disposable BBQ’s on site. If anyone is found trying to or using one it will be confiscated. They are a high fire risk and due to the packaging used very environmentally unfriendly. 

Autumn / Winter 2024

Unfortunately due to the economic climate and rising costs in all areas of running a business we have to advise that from 1st November 2024 until 31st March 2025 we will only be opening the site for weekends with a Friday or Saturday arrival for a minimum of a two night stay unless we have a request for a significant booking to make it worth our while. This is to allow both of us to undertake alternative employment off site during the winter months. (We will be open for New Year Bookings with arrivals on Monday 30th December for a minimum stay of 3 nights).
