The Fire Assembly point is outside the reception on the gravel parking area.

PUBLIC AREAS WITHIN THE PARK

The touring pitches all have a level gravel surface and the roadways throughout the park are tarmac.

The park is set on a hillside so many of the pathways between areas throughout the park are on a gradual slope. There are some paths with steps between terrace levels. Most are tarmac paths but a few are gravel surface however they all have handrails to assist you where appropriate.

There are three amenity buildings each having sufficient toilet/shower and washing facilities within them. The central amenity building has designated disabled toilet/shower facilities although the others do have very reasonable access and services.

Our holiday caravan accommodation is accessed via 15 steps with a handrail leading to a sloping tarmac pathway. There is no parking immediately adjacent to the accommodation.

Gordon’s Bar and Poppies Restaurant are both fully accessible via single or double door entry points. However, management would ask you to advise them of your intended visit if wanting to use motorised chairs as seating may need to be rearranged to more easily accommodate them. Parking is available adjacent to the bar and restaurant. Flashing lights may be used in Gordon’s Bar.

The laundry room has two small steps on entry at a height of 14cms each and a door width of 670cms. Washing machines and tumblers are front loading with just the spinner top loading. The Ironing board is a comfortable height of 85cms.
