PRE BOOKING NOTES

Boloquoy Victorian Farm & Watermill is a fully authentic experience packed with period artifacts and historic archive documents. It has some naked flames, and no TV or digital communication - as such its unlikely to be suitable for children under 12. We will do all we can to accommodate those with limited mobility but you should note that, as a historic building, stairs are steep, paths are uneven and doorways are low.
