This is a great holiday destination for independent outdoor enthusiasts – all year round – or for just chilling out!

The self-contained apartments Farriers, Forge & Anvil which sleep 2-7 persons. These are all independent & fully self-catered units with showers & toilets within that unit of accommodation.

The Smiddy Bunkhouse & Blacksmiths Hostel  sleep 10 and 14 persons respectively. In general only bookings  will be  taken bookings for the whole unit – with some low occupancy discounts and only a maximum of two rooms where folks in each separate room are not members of the same group. These are fully self-catered with separate  showers & toilets within that unit of accommodation. For now – until matters become totally  normal we will not be letting by the room where the sharing of all facilities would be the norm.
