With the "Utmost Safety" of all our
Guests in mind,
we still continue to take every precaution possible, including following the "Updated Guidelines" from the Government
so that we can
open for Business
- Safely!
During the 1st Lockdown in March 2020, we invested in a
"Fogging Machine"
By useing a special solution certified
to kill ALL Viral
& Bacterial Infections,
(should there be any present),
We are confident that we can operate as safe as we possibly can be.
We also meticulously clean and sanitise all areas, before finishing with a "Steam Cleaner"
making sure that everything is safe.
There are Hand Sanitisers in all 3 Bedrooms, as well the Breakfast Room in the Main House.
The Lodges also have Hand Sanitisers in the Kitchen.
Thank You For
Your Custom and Patience,
and we will look forward to seeing you all again very soon.
