Experience an authentic snapshot into life on a farm with a Newton Farm tour. Located just a few miles from the resort, the farm is home to alpacas, cows, sheep, a micro-pig (called Lucy), goats, ducks, hens and highland cows. For an unforgettable experience in Spring you can book in to bottle feed lambs – ideal for any budding farmers within your family! It’s the ultimate Easter activity for all ages.
Hop along to our Angus Thistle Maze at Easter time and create your own fun by hiding eggs throughout the 1120-meter hedges. After you’ve worked up an appetite, head along to the resort for a bite to eat.
Ingredients
225g/8oz plain chocolate, broken into pieces
2 tbsp golden syrup
50g/2oz butter
75g/3oz cornflakes
36 mini chocolate eggs
Method
Line a 12-hole fairy cake tin with paper cases.
Melt the chocolate, golden syrup and butter in a bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water, (do not let the base of the bowl touch the water). Stir the mixture until smooth.
Remove the bowl from the heat and gently stir in the cornflakes until all of the cereal is coated in the chocolate.
Divide the mixture between the paper cases and press 3 chocolate eggs into the centre of each nest. Chill in the fridge for 1 hour, or until completely set.

If you’re staying in one of our lodges you’ll find all the tools you need to cook up a Sunday lunch feast for your loved ones, or you can sit back and relax while we cook for you in our Waterside Restaurant or Cairn O’ Mount bar.
Get your wellies on and get out in the fresh air to hunt around the resort for the perfect egg rolling spot. You’ll find lots of grassy knolls and woodland spots that are great for rolling your eggs, including a grass hill in between our Bankside fishing pool and Woodside fishing pool. When you’re out and about keep both eyes open for nature-filled discoveries, and make sure you’re extra careful around the open water.
Easter is a time for getting the family together, and what’s better than some friendly family competition? Putting is something everyone can take part in, from tots to grandparents.
