  • Breathe freely in our 100-acre woodland, a short walk from the sand dunes and a long sandy beach
Breathe freely in our 100-acre woodland, a short walk from the sand dunes and a long sandy beach. This season, we can also offer up to ten 5 metre bell tents which can be hired as an extra. These can be provided fully erected either as a dry hire, or furnished to include beds and mattresses, a table, chairs, and lighting, together with exterior decking. We have recently completed our beautiful new and much improved washrooms on site. These include plenty of showers and toilets, as well as family rooms, a disabled facility and lots of hot water! Adjacent to the washrooms is the Forest Barn, an indoor space which includes electricity and wifi, a bar area, a small catering kitchen, and a wood burning stove.
