Its Hot Hot Hot and time to go surfing!

Its been scorching here at The Elmfield and we have our boards and Barbecue constantly on standby ready to dash off to Woolacombe or Barricane Beach at the slightest chance.

The pool is warm, the surf is up it must be May!

We have been splashing around in the heated pool with the little ones as have our guests now that the weather is splendid.
