Eating & Sleeping
Children can have separate meal times and a separate children’s menu is offered. Parents can discuss and agree the menu for their children with the managers and head chef on arrival. The chef can cater to most dietary requirements if there are specific dietary requirements please advise prior to arrival. A baby-listening service is available when parents of young children wish to dine after the children have gone to bed. Typically, it would be one of the female housekeeping staff who do this and there is no extra charge although a gratuity at the end of the visit is very much appreciated by the babysitter..
