The Oyster Catcher is a ground floor cottage with an open plan living and dining area full of natural light. There is one ground floor double and twin bedroom with a bath and shower room.
The kitchen is fully equipped for a home-away-from-home stay, and we provide fresh linen, towels, natural skincare products, superfast Wi-Fi, and access to on-site washing facilities.
During your stay, you’re welcome to enjoy everything across the site, including:
Communal games room with pool table, table tennis, air hockey and seating
(Please note: the games room may occasionally be unavailable due to private events)
BBQ areas and fire pits
Small gym with free weights, bench, rowing machine and treadmill
Over 4km of nature trails through private woodland, ponds and open fields
Paddock areas with football goals and rugby posts
Two 3-acre fishing lakes (please bring your own equipment)
Our wood-fired hot tub is available as an optional add-on during your stay.
This is a self-service experience: we provide the firewood, and you heat the tub by adding logs throughout the day. The water takes approximately 5 hours to reach temperature, with logs needed roughly once an hour.
Hire is for one specific day of your stay
There is one hot tub on site, so availability is limited
You must contact us in advance to confirm your chosen date
The booking is only secured once the date is confirmed
Events & experiences
We have two private event spaces available to hire for gatherings and retreats. You can also explore our on-site team, Land + Sea, who run a calendar of seasonal events, workshops, fire cooking and foraging experiences.
For something a little different, The Black Knights Skydive Centre is located nearby, offering tandem and solo jumps.
Planning a group stay? Patty’s Barn has 13 properties on site, along with shared dining spaces, an open fireplace, catering kitchen and a dedicated retreat space. Ideal for family gatherings, celebrations, retreats and corporate stays.
Contact us to book multiple cottages or to ask about group rates.
