The national park is one of the UK's designated dark sky regions and guests can study the night sky using the telescope provided in the orangery. There are dozens of walks and mountain bike trails to take directly from the house and the Coquet river can offer fishing or wild swimming locations for the brave. The village pub, the Rose & Thistle, offers stunning views from its beer garden and traditional pub food including a first class Sunday lunch.
