A huge open-plan living and dining room have sweeping views over the vast blue skies and untouched wilderness of the reserve, perfect for wildlife and cloud watching. The five double bedrooms can sleep up to 10 guests. Plenty of outside space for BBQ’s and games or discover the National Nature Reserve, renowned for its wildlife and conservation work.

Relaxed, sharing meals can be delivered to the house, or pre-book to dine on a menu of seasonal and local produce at the restaurant.
