The area is in the process of preserving its military heritage, whilst enhancing its natural beauty. From a dour military base in a picture-postcard location, owners David and Heather Hagan could see its potential and turned it into a warm and inviting place to recharge. Furthermore, they wanted people with disabilities to also experience the pleasure of staying, evidenced by the name of their registered charity, Disability Life Enrichment.
