Beyond the patio, the surrounding hills may reveal Cheviot goats—shy, sure-footed residents of the Cheviots that, on occasion, drift to the garden’s edge for a fleeting, memorable sight.
On-site, there’s plenty to enjoy: rack up a frame on the snooker table, test your reflexes at table football, slip into the swimming pool for unhurried laps, while play areas keep younger guests happily occupied.
