Children from 12 years upwards are welcome. Larger superior rooms can accommodate three easily if desired. Two children may share a twin room at normal rate. All year round!

The rain is not torrential and the cold is never fierce (never lower than around 6°C) so it is a good idea to be able to add or subtract garments to get to a comfortable temperature.
