Rare Bats At Bodidris

The Lesser Horseshoe Bat is now only found in Wales and South-West England and Bodidris Hall has its very own colony of over 160 of the endangered species. They live in the old stables block of the hotel. The tiny bats, which have become extinct in northern England and the North Midlands, are rare in the UK with only an estimated 14,000 left.
We are planning to install infrared cameras to that all our guests can see the bats and there are even plans to beam these shots into the hotel rooms.
Matthew Ellis, regional bat monitor for the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW), said the infrared cameras would helip with monitoring the bats, which have grown in number since around 60 were first discovered in 1997.
We are very committed to the safety of the bats and hope that they will increase increase in numbers in the years to come.
