The Craftyard Garden
The Craftyard, which was previously the Greek Taverna has been transformed into an enchanting mini “European Courtyard”, in a blink, when the sunshines, one could easily be sitting in a little courtyard in Florence, or Seville amongst the wild passionflowers trailing on the historic brick surrounding the garden and the hanging baskets which cascade over the terrace. There are numerous ornamental flower pots ranging from an old Chicken Coop to an old Beer keg. The seating in the garden is surprisingly comfy considering its rustic industrial style which is mirrored throughout the entire Craftyard.
The garden is a natural sun trap and attracts any sun lovers popping in on their lunch breaks or a cool refreshing drink after a hard days work.
In the evening when the sun has gone down the warmed brick is replaced with our fiery dancing flames from our numerous heated lamps which decorate and enlighten our entire garden.
Even if the English weather is dampened, one can retreat to our decking area which offers a haven under heated lamps and comfy garden sofas.
