Everyone has their own lockdown story to tell. Whilst we have no guests we are still keeping ourselves active and busy with maintenance tasks, gardening amd looking after our spring lambs.

We’re recruiting for the 2020 season.

3 x General Assistants required.

We have a busy full year ahead and we’re confident that you will enjoy working with our close family team and other co-workers.

Our recent survey results are in.

We asked our current guests and followers on social media what they thought through a very short guest attitudes survey.

Our initial results show very positive feedback and strongly expressed concerns for the environment and the need for better approaches to sustainability.

We are embarking on a new project looking out our sustainability and how our guests are helping us to achieve our goals.

Please help by completing this short 2 minute survey.
