The Grounds

For kids that have plenty of imagination and love the outdoors there is an abundance of things to keep them amused at the park.

Den Wars
               Finding loose branches and twigs around the woods and building dens in the fields around the lodges can sometimes create something of competition between the kids in different chalets....

The Art Gallery
                    For those quieter days ask for some paper and get the kids cracking on a picture for the Kids Art Gallery. We have quite a collection already.

 Wildlife Spotting
Collect a ticklist and have fun during your stay ticking off the wildlife you see including Red Squirrels, Hedgehogs, Butterflies and Dragonflies, Toads and Frogs, Lizards and Salamanders, Woodpeckers, Jays and Greenfinches, Bats, Owls and Glow worms for the later nights, and the more elusive but very special Hummingbird Hawkmoths and the much loved Deer. 

The Pool
Of course, on those hot days the kids love to spend loads of time in the pool. We provide a number of inflatables each year  for messing around in the water on. Kids that start off not too confident in the water will find themselves having great fun within a few days, and for the really little people we provide a moveable paddling pool for cooling off.

The extensive grounds at La Coterie cover 8 acres of field and forest which guests are free to explore at their leisure, being careful of the resident lawn mowers (horses) which are moved from field to field over the spring and summer.
 There is a wide range of plants and flowers throughout the seasons, such as bluebells and other wild flowers in Spring, and blackberries and mushrooms in the Autumn.

     
 

Bird life is abundant in and around the woodland. Highlights are the woodpeckers in the morning, buzzards during the day, bats flitting about at sunset, and the owls at night.
