Indoor fun at Old Glebe
Of course the sun will always shine in Waldron (and we are in the sunniest part of the UK), but just in case:
- Watch an old movie from the large collection
- Dance around the kitchen using the sound system, maybe playing the hat game (hats and rules in the cloak room)
- Table tennis tournaments
- Loads of board games and cards
- Play with lots of children’s toys (mini shop in the Cottage)
- Enjoy cooking on a 1950's Aga (plus the modern range)
- Or just don the wellies and macs and head off to our favourite pub or a fantastic walk straight from the house
