Please note that the property is not suitable for bucks/hens groups or other groups looking to have loud parties. Dinner parties or family birthday gatherings etc are fine. As it is a working farm, the property is also not suitable for pets unfortunately.
Charleson is officially a B&B and there is an on site manager. Basic breakfast provisions can be provided but most groups prefer to self cater using the extensive kitchen facilities.
We endeavour to provide a 6pm checkout to enable guests to maximise their break, but this depends on whether there are other guests arriving that day.
