There are lots of balloon flights offered locally but most appear to be operated by virgin. If you fancy seeing the local area by air have a look online and book one in for your stay. Obviously this will be weather dependent. We frequently have them fly over the property so if the wind is blowing the right direction we can give you a wave!

Our favourite pub just five mins drive up the road. You could walk it but you’ll definitely need a drink by the time you get there - it’s all up hill! Food available most days and it’s dog friendly. You can see the track to the house from the garden across the valley.
