The library and children's room
The Kids / music / TV room is ideal for occupiying kids on those rainy days. Or perhaps settle back to read an old classic, tinkle a few notes on the piano, play an assortment of boardgames found in an old chest, or while away a few hours watching a favourite DVD.
Indoor childrens play areas
In the mainhouse we have the TV room with boxes full of toys (further details below), but the main play area is the 70 square metre cider barn. When not in use for events here you will find a pool table, a soccer table, and a table tennis table. Until November 2007 these activities are found in the annex as the barn floor has not been completed.
Certified childminders and babysiters are available - please contact us to book in advance.
Childrens toys in the childrens room in the main house
In this room there are three boxes crammed full of all sorts of childrens toys and activities to keep children entertained. One is a dressing up box, another is for baby toys, and the other is full of various dolls (there is also a dolls house). The same room has a variety of childrens DVD's and videos - a TV (with 'black box' freeview etc), DVD and video player.There is a piano, tuned to concert pitch, a guitar, and a collection of penny whistles. There's also an extensive collection of Tim's photographs, from India, Bangladesh, Tibet, Laos, The Philippines etc.
Just some of the toys available.
In addition to the toys we also have some baby equipment available: a wooden baby cot, two travel cots, a baby monitor, a mobile, a baby bath,
and a bouncer, steriliser, play pen, baby sling etc. Please tell us if you want to use the baby cot as we have to bring it over to the house for you.
