ACCESSIBILITY

We have an inclusive policy; welcoming couples of any colour, religion and sexual preference. 

 

Sadly, the structure of the Shepherd's Hut with it's steps mean it is inappropriate for those with mobility problems to stay.  The limited space eliminates the opportunity for a cot, however we offer a prefect space to recharge young parents' batteries and enjoy some couple time away from their children.
