Sat nav’s can be a bit temperamental getting you here so as you turn onto Helland Road (at the cemetery), keep going along that road until you get to the top of the hill and you will see the Hugs sign on the left. You can’t miss it, it’s a fairly big sign at the end of the drive. Please come through the first gate and following the parking attendant.
