The rooms have been emptied of furniture and a building contractor is in the final stage of being engaged. Here is our new room layout, which creates an option for bedroom hire to individuals, families and smaller groups that are willing to share the kitchen and living areas, as well as exclusive hire to groups. We don’t know precisely when the Centre will reopen, watch this space where we will provide online booking as soon as we are ready to start taking bookings for 2026. Keep an eye on our social media channels and website where we will be posting photos as the building work progresses.

The floor plan shows the change from 6 bedrooms to 7 smaller bedrooms each with en-suite.

The bedrooms will contain bunk beds allowing up to 34 beds in the main building and up to a further 10 beds in two adjacent apartments.

The makeover plans include:-
• New reception area and new garden entrance
• Small family sized bedrooms sleeping 2 – 6 people
• All bedrooms have private en-suite
• Communal living, kitchen and dining spaces
• Boot room and drying area for wet walking or cycle gear
• Laundry
• Secure cycle storage
