The rooms are ideally suited for any visitors who wish to attend our twilight flying sessions and are unable to travel back in the evening. They are also suited for anyone attending our experience days or simply for anyone who wishes to visit us & would like to have somewhere to stay the night. The rooms are available throughout the year, including Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day (though our tea room will be closed on those days), making The Raptor Foundation an ideal place to stay if you are visiting friends or relatives in the area over Christmas & need somewhere to stay.

The cost of the accommodation is £40 per night for the standard rooms and £50 per night for the luxury rooms (additional sofa beds are available at £5 per night). Please contact us to find out more about the availability of the rooms and for weekly rates. (Printable Booking Form).
