Residents Garden

With tables and chairs for those sunny afternoons where relaxation is absolutely required after a long hard day exploring.  Set way off the road, Waterside is definitely the place to come for peace and tranquillity away from it all.  Listen to the gentle bird song and wake to the sound of the cuckoo.  Bring home a picnic or pre-order one from your host Vanessa.  There is also a BBQ available for those barmy summer evenings we're all so used to.  And there’s plenty of space for the kids to burn off some energy too!

Residents Dining Room & Lounge

After a hearty breakfast the dining room can be used for relaxing, making use of the free Wi-Fi and a cosy corner for a light read.  There is a selection of books for your amusement and puzzles and games for the kids.  Roaring log fires in the winter and a cool retreat in the height of summer.
