The rooms are equipped with toilet and shower and can accommodate up to 60 beds in the dormitory. They are ideal for hosting school groups, scout groups or sports stays. The guesthouse is completed by 6 large rooms on the ground floor of the Barracks for multi-purpose use, equipped with benches and tables.
