Facilities

Children

We only accept children over the age of twelve years in The Byre and The Haystore. Guests staying in The Carthouse may bring children over the age of five years. We don’t have any play facilities within the grounds for children, although if your children enjoy the open countryside there’s plenty of that nearby!

You are welcome to bring your well-trained dog if you are staying in The Carthouse, and it is only a matter of moments to be out of our grounds and onto open land. However, do be aware that there are usually loose sheep close by, often just outside our gates, and chasing our Red Squirrels is definitely out! Please note that we have our own dogs, and guests’ dogs must be kept well under control in the grounds. No dogs in the bedrooms, please.

Please contact us in advance if you wish to bring your dogs.

We have included a number of facilities in The Carthouse for disabled guests, although the bedrooms are all accessed by stairs. However, all other facilities are on the ground floor and we are happy to provide a folding bed or sofa bed in the lounge. The front door of The Carthouse has ramped access and parking is immediately adjacent. The ground floor has a wet room with wheelchair access, with a shower, washbasin and wc designed for disabled use with suitable grab rails and an assist call. Please contact us to discuss your needs and to ensure that we can provide for them.

There is ample parking by each of the cottages. The Byre and The Haystore each have space for two cars, The Carthouse has space for three. We can accommodate more by arrangement.

Each cottage has a table and chairs in its own designated area. There is a communal area at the highest point with the best all-round views. In addition, guests are very welcome to use an area alongside the beck, which is a perfect spot to sit and relax, and maybe have a picnic at the tables provided.
