The pods are solely off grid so please take care to switch lights off and power outlets when you are not using them to conserve energy. 

Whilst the site is on mains water this is boosted by a pump so there will be some drop in pressure if all taps, showers are used at once.

The farm and pods are accessed by a 1.5 mile farm track. Whilst a 4x4 is not required please be aware that it is not a tarmac surface so we ‎ask that you drive slowly and carefully. We cannot be held responsible for any damage to vehicles. 

Ospreys which nest in this area are a Schedule 1a protected species. Whilst we want you to be able to see and enjoy these magnificent birds please do not disturb their nest site during the period April to August. If you do so you may find yourself in breach of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
