Before you come
Bring
- Your swimwear. Robes, towels, slippers, tea and water are here for you.
- For pool hire, towels and floats too, and come ready to swim: changing is part of your time.
- Leave jewellery and valuables at home.
At the pool
- There's no lifeguard. The adult who books looks after everyone in their group.
- Up to 6 in the water at once, and children watched by their adult all the time.
- No diving, no glass and no alcohol.
- Shower before you swim. If you have an infection, tell us and we'll move your booking.
- Pool hire is for swimming: no parties or music.
Questions
Is it really just us?
Yes. Nobody else is booked while you're here. The pool, the lounge and the garden are yours; the rest of the house is our home.
Can my children come?
From 5, with Mini Me treatments beside yours. A child is always with their adult. Pool hire takes all ages.
Can more friends come?
Up to 6 for a spa booking, or up to 10 with private pool hire.
What if we're running late?
Your time still ends when booked, so leave a little early.
What if we need to move our booking?
Tell us 7 days before and you can move or cancel for free. The rest is in refunds and cancellation.
Anything to know before a treatment?
We ask a few health questions first. If you're pregnant, have a condition or take medication, tell us then and we'll suggest what suits you. Nails, tints and waxing come after your last swim.
