We provide an ample welcome pack of logs and kindling for the fire pit but you can purchase charcoal for Barbequing readily from Uppingham at either the garage or one of the local shops. For longer stays, should you require more logs or kindling we can provide these at £6 per large bag of kindling and £8.50 per large bag of kiln dried hardwood firewood.

Please only use the firewood provided or purchased by us as this has been kiln dried to minimise any fire risk to surrounding meadow land.
