Facilites for families

Baby-changing facilities can be found in the disabled toilet in the stableyard.
Buggies are welcome around site, but not inside the manor (hip carriers can be borrowed free of charge from the front desk). Hughenden is on the top of a hill so some paths are steep and paths through the woodland are rough and uneven in places.
