LOCATION

Big Sky Retreat is located between the River and Railway line and is accessed via a footpath. Parking for 1 car ( poss 2 ) is a few hundred yards from the site. On arrival you will be greeted by a staff member who will take you and your luggage to the site and get you settled. Please arrive from 4pm and leave by 11am the morning of your departure. As there are farms nearby we are sorry we cannot accept pets.
As we are in a quiet rural location we ask that noise is kept to a minimum after 10pm. 

ENVIRONMENT

To limit the impact on our environment we have recycling bins on site. A state of the art ENVIROLET composting toilet system was shipped in from Canada and proivdes superb compost for our veg patch! At the end of each season the tent comes down and the wild bunnies get the site back until spring! We hope to get some ducks and chickens next season so fresh eggs will soon be on the menu too.
