There is a small site shop selling basic necessities such as bottled gas, chemicals, groceries, bread, milk and ice cream. Newspapers can be ordered daily. Dogs are welcome and a designated dog walk has been established through part of the Estate woodland. We would ask however, that they are kept on a lead whilst on the main site. Visitors staying on the site (for two nights or more) have free admission to the grounds only of Stanford Hall during our normal opening times except on certain Event days. Details of these days can be found at the site office. There is a small charge for admission to the House. In addition to this, course fishing is available free of charge on the River Avon within the main Grounds of the Hall.
