The small print, kept short
- All prices include VAT. Pay in full when you book. We strongly recommend XCover refund protection: see our FAQ.
- Pitches: check-in from 2pm, check-out by 12pm. No electric hook-ups or Wi-Fi.
- Launching your own canoe or kayak needs waterways permission; fishing needs a rod licence.
