Facilities

Accommodation is basic, yet clean, warm and comfortable. The main building has two accommodation wings. Bedrooms consist of either twin beds or two bunk beds, a washbasin and a wardrobe. En-suite facilities are available for visiting staff, otherwise separate boys and girls showers and bathrooms are on the corridor. Sheets, duvets & pillows are provided for all guests.

The main building also has a large lounge with a pool table, table football and other board games along with jigsaws & books. Basketball & table tennis can be played in the Games Room and there is volleyball court on one of the lawns. There is also a non-alcoholic cocktail bar and tuck shop, which stocks sweets, chocolate, postcards and gifts, and all those essential items which often get left at home!

The dining room, which boasts beautiful views of the river, has round tables which seat up to 8. All meals are home-cooked by our excellent catering staff. We aim to promote healthy eating and offer a varied diet. We try to source as much food as we can locally and buy fair trade products if they are available.

There is always a choice of fresh fruit available.
