We often tailor make your stay to your own needs. Is specific clothing required? All activity safety equipment is supplied. Do you have first aid on site? Our highly qualified instructors are qualified first aiders, however, when not on activity the first aid responsibility would be with the school to meet their own local authority needs.

We have many groups with high dependencies who visit every year and find the Garden house a pleasure to use with its ease of access and space.
