If you are considering coming on a course please note:

You will need a sleeping bag - we provide a matress and pillow with pillow case.
The bunkhouse is comfortable but communal! There are three sleeping spaces, with four or five beds in each room. If you prefer privacy, you may want to bring a tent.

Camping

There is ample camping space with lovely views and a tree bog! The campsite is flat and close to the bunkhouse, but far enough away to get some peace and quiet.


You will need ...

Clothes for practical outside work.
Work boots are a good idea, and wellies if you have them.
Inside shoes/slippers are a good idea.
Materials for taking notes.
No dogs or other animals please.
The food will be mostly organic and vegetarian.

If you are on a course or event that finishes on Sunday or late at night please consider arranging your travel home in advance.

Contact your course/event tutor to see if they can arrange a lift share for you.

If you need to get a bus or a train please consider booking a taxi to the bus/train station in advance. Rural bus services are scant in the evenings and on Sunday, and getting a taxi at short notice in this area can be difficult.
