Golf buggy
A multi-seater golf buggy runs between Donnington & Co. and The Post Barn. Let us know when you RSVP if you'd like a seat, as we'll need to pre-arrange it. It only runs in daylight hours and depends on the weather. Please don't walk between the two; the route isn't safe on foot.
Parking
Free on site. Cars left overnight must be in the top car park and collected by 10:30am the next day. There is no shuttle the next morning, so you will need a taxi to fetch your car.
Taxis
AVE Cabs, 01635 31212. Please book in advance; a hotel–barn trip is around £6–10.
