The estate features an automatic bowling alley, which can be hired for a fun evening. A picnic table and barbecue are also available in the courtyard for all guests. Parking is available within the fully fenced grounds.

Electric heating and hot water are provided by a private hydroelectric system. A washing machine and dryer are located in the tack room and are available to all guests free of charge.
