Other considerations

There is a train line that runs along the back of the site. The trains are infrequent (2 an hour) and fewer at weekends. This does not bother most people, but if you are noise sensitive, you might want to consider this.

The gates onto the site are closed and locked at night. They open automatically from the inside, but you will need a code to open the gate from the outside. The code will be given to you when you arrive☺.
Using the code will allow you to access the site at any time of day, but please be considerate to other guests if coming back late. 

Please observe our noise policy.
