Guests are welcome to walk the fields adjoining the property respectfully as sheep and lambs graze there. The patio is enclosed. A fence divides the garden from the fields but is not fully enclosed.

The riverbank area with its benches overlooking the river is available for guests to enjoy but care must be taken as the river may become deep and fast flowing at times. There is open access to water so children must be supervised at all times and ideally should be over the age of 5 and competent swimmers (in case of a fall). There is no separating wall between the benches and the riverbank which slopes gently into the water. However, there is a wall dividing the cottage from the river.
