The Pruner's Hut is cosy and atmospheric on a rainy day — though the exposed, hill-top setting isn't ideal in extreme heat, which is why the experience runs April to November. If conditions call for it, we'll move your lunch to our private cellar at Slate, or out onto the deck. Both great options!
Unfortunately, The Pruner's Hut isn't wheelchair accessible due to its remote, hill-top location. The rest of our site is accessible, and we offer other experiences suited to all guests — visit our Experiences page or contact us directly to find the right fit.
