On Site Security

We are a small holding with the equipment that entails.  To help prevent unwanted attention, and improve the chance of success of any police action,  there are a number of motion activated security cameras around the broader property: these cover the main house, garage, stables and other outbuildings.  

These do not cover the guest private areas. The images collected auto-overwrite continuously over a period and would only be used if required in the event of a break in or similar incident around the property, in which case they would be provided to the police.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

Any changes we may make to out policy in the future will be posted on this site.
