Children are specially welcome and as well as cots and a crib we can provide pushchairs, highchairs a changing mat etc. to make travelling a little easier. Just let us know what would be helpful and we will do our best to provide it.

Our rates are fully inclusive and we offer guests a simple welcome meal on the first evening which includes some of the excellent local wine.
