Company information

Living so remote can be exciting and challenging, Guests will drink the water pumped up from a well over 100 foot deep as the water makes its way to the River, all fully maintained and safe but, no additives, just a beautiful flavour. The main building is 175 years old, it does creak a bit, it is made from solid granite with no blocks the same size, to cut a door through the granite to make a door took the builder a week and the loss of a lot of equipment. The air is very pure & the skies clear, there is very little light pollution. It is possible at times to see the Aurora Borealis, and on extremely clear nights the Milky Way can be seen by the naked eye in the sky. Celebrities have stayed with us, we provided accommodation for 3 weeks for all the drivers & staff working on the film 'Stardust'. We have Blue Plaques on the outside to provide additional interest & information for guests. There is a car park at the front of the main building for guests staying in Stag View & River View, Mountain View & Owl View have dedicated parking spaces & Woodlands Rest & Tonita guests can park directly outside the properties. Free Fishing Guests can ring/emai
