Glynn Barton is the perfect setting for young families who want a relaxing child friendly holiday in breathtaking surroundings. There is plenty to do here for all the family, all year round, from feeding the animals, or simply relaxing by the pool while your children enjoy splashing around.

Steve and Shirley have also invested in a new children's play area, a maze for those sunny evenings and improved the animal feeding areas.
