On arrival the first thing you’ll notice are the woods on either side of the road making this a very hidden destination. Amongst the 1000 acres, over a third of which is semi-ancient woodland, there are a large variety of tracks and paths to explore.
Need a half hour walk after arrival? We’ve a loop for that. Need a morning or afternoon walk? We’ve a loop around different types of semi-ancient forest where you’ll see Norway spruce (and likely a few red squirrels) and lots of squirrel-munched pine cones. Other parts of the woodland have velvety moss and Downey birch – all with lichen and horse hoof fungus typical of a semi-ancient woodland – “magical” is what our guests say.
Whether it’s Guy Fawke’s Night, Bonfire Night, or New Year’s Eve rest assured you and dog won’t need to stay indoors – sit outside by the firepit and have a peaceful evening and all you’ll be able to hear is the bird song.
And your dog will love the treats from our specialist all things dog provider Kelso & Titch. And you’ll also find a dog bed, poo bags, bowls, towel and a 5m lead so you can relax outside with your dog nearby.
