Booking Information

Please Provide Further Information When Booking

When placing your booking, please provide further information about your group (for example, is this a family group, how many children are there and the rough ages of all guests). So we can best help during your stay, please also let us know if there are any significant events that you are celebrating (such as a birthday or anniversary). Also, please let us know where you are based.

For example:

We live in Essex and are planning to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. Our group comprises my husband and I, our 3 children aged 12, 16 and 18, my sister and her husband plus their son aged 10, our friend and his partner, plus my husband's mother and father who are in their 70's.

Thank you!
