Our Fine Wines & Champagne
It must be around 30 years ago when I first worked as a stagier for an Alsace wine producer, since then my keen interest has become a great passion. So, as you can imagine, the production of our hotel wine list is an area of the business I love and absolutely refuse to let go of! That said, I have made some good friends on the journey and I am particularly grateful to Peter Rowe of Liberty Wines for his help with this list. After many years of travels in the vineyards together, visiting producers and studying the wines of the world we have developed a great working relationship. While he does not always agree with me, he has acted as a great foil to my self-indulgent tendencies to ensure balance prevails without the loss of care and attention to detail and a personal touch in the selection! Our wines are currently sourced from: Enotria Winecellars. Please see our special purchases pages for a selection of wines of limited availability, including wines from around the world and fine Bordeaux. *My Personal Selections - All wines are equal, but some wines are more equal than others! My Personal Selections are my favourite wines from the list! Simple as that! - Craig Jarvis

L ea r n to f ly . . . Learning to fly an aircraft and gaining your Private Pilot’s Licence is one of the most rewarding activities you will ever undertake. It requires a serious commitment from students in the form of both time and money, being comparable in cost to interests such as sailing or motorcycling. Choosing a flight school is therefore an important decision, and one you should feel comfortable with. Skyward Flight Training ensures that all of its students benefit from not only the highest level of tuition and support, but are also able to enjoy the social aspects of a small and very friendly club. Our historic airfield, our fleet of well-equipped and maintained aircraft coupled with our competitive pricing structure, offers real value to our students.
The Taster Flight is a short, yet unforgettable and thrilling flight experience that will take place in the vicinity of the airfield.
The Endeavour Flight allows an experience beyond the vicinity of the airfield, taking in the beautiful towns, villages and landscapes of the area and climbing to greater altitudes.
The Discovery Flight represents the ultimate trial lesson. You will enjoy extended time controlling the aircraft, visiting the coastlines and estuary towns before descent and landing.
