About Us
Situated in 80 acres of peaceful woodland Fairburn Lodge, Activity and Conference Centre has now been in operation for more than 15 years and is continually increasing the range of activities on offer. In December 2008 all the hard work proved worthwhile when the Centre attained the "Hospitality Assured" award. All staff at the centre were involved in the project and are very proud to have achieved this internationally recognised qualification for high standard of service and business excellence.
The Centre invites customers to "Explore Experience Enjoy" - our aim being to provide a range of opportunities tailored to suit individual requirements, be it activities, conference facilities, accommodation, catering or a combination of all four.
With comfortable accommodation, good home-cooking and a wide range of activities on offer, the friendly team of staff at Fairburn Lodge are waiting to welcome you. - Director Profile
