Entertaining a large group is often easier if a few activities are booked in advance. Everything below can be brought to our holiday cottages. There is usually a minimum group size and often a maximum party size.
As always, the sooner you contact the provider, the more likely they are to be available.
To accompany your activities at your holiday cottage, ask Claire our recommended caterer to provide a sumptuous picnic, vintage afternoon tea, high tea, lunch or dinner to suit your day.
Our Day’s Out page has even more things to do if you venture away from your holiday cottage.
