Nature
Hidden away from the hustle and bustle of modern life, Underscar is a sanctuary for nature enthusiasts. Amidst this natural paradise, one might catch glimpses of the local red squirrels, these naturally shy creatures look striking with their fiery red coats and are often spotted near our feeders. With their bushy tails twitching in excitement, they diligently forage for nuts and seeds, preparing for the day ahead.
Accompanying the squirrels are the myriad of birds whose songs fill the air not only during the dawn chorus but throughout the day. From the melodious trill of thrushes to the cheerful chirping of sparrows, Underscar resonates with the vibrant melodies of our feathered friends.
The beauty and wonder of the natural world envelops us here at Underscar, continuously enchanting our guests year after year
