Friday, July 1: Guests wake up to find that the manor has been magically moved to a beautiful seaside resort just for them!

There is a milliner, a dress shop, a public house with a nice bar and restaurant, a cobbler and other stores that guests might enjoy. There is a promenade pier, with fishing off the pier available, a lovely sandy beach with a wooden boardwalk, and plenty of changing spaces, tents and lounging chairs for enjoying the beach.
