Facilities
Information about features, facilities and services at Shortlake Farm is to the best of our knowledge and belief accurate at the time of listing on our website, but it is possible that some of these features, facilities and services may not be available at the time you take your holiday.
Health and Safety
It should be noted that this is a working farm, and as such there may be various hazards. We do our utmost to ensure the safety or our visitors, but cannot guarantee that all parts of the farm are completely free from hazards.
As an example, there may be areas of rough ground or rabbit holes which may present a trip hazard. In addition, after heavy rain the ground in some areas can become slippery. You should take care, and wear suitable footwear to minimise the possibility of injury. Tent guy ropes are an obvious trip hazard which you need to be aware of.
If you visit Eweleaze Farm: We have some animals at Eweleaze Farm which are chosen for their placid temperaments. However all animals are unpredictable and they might bite, nip, scratch, kick, headbutt or tread on feet at any time so they must be treated with caution and respect. Parents must supervise their children with the animals at all times.
Due to the extensive nature of the camping facilities, and the natural ambience of the area, we do not provide artificial lighting. To ensure your safety you should bring a torch or lantern to help you when walking after dark.
Parents must supervise their children on the hay bale play areas at all times.
By making this booking, you accept that you must take reasonable care for you and your party's safety, while at the same time we will do our best to ensure that the farm is safe.
