The company cannot accept responsibility from any loss, damage, or expense arising from industrial action, terrorist activity, adverse weather conditions or any other event outside the control of the company.

 

We are a back to nature campsite and as such there are natural hazards, such as tree roots, poisonous plants, and extremely limited lighting after dark. Also depending upon weather conditions, cold, wet and slippery surfaces. 

 

We are located near to a garden machinery workshop, quarry, dog kennels and children's activity centre. While none of these unduly affect time spend on our campsite we must point out that you may not find utter silence here.

​
