Temporary Room Closure
Temporary Room Closure
Please note that Room 6, which contains the toilets, hot water, reconstructed cells and contraband items is temporarily closed off on advice from our Health and Safety representative whilst they conduct monitoring of radon gas levels.

We have been provided with temporary toilets on site at this time, outside in the courtyard.

Items of contraband can still be viewed in the barn area and we have a handling collection at reception which can be viewed on request.

We apologise for any inconvenience and disappointment caused but we have been assured by our H&S representative that this will be remedied in the near future.
