Swimming
Pool
The swimming pool is open from 8am to 8pm Sunday to Friday and 12 noon
to 8pm on Saturday (essential maintenance is carried out on Saturday
AM). The swimming pool measures 9m x 4.8m and ranges from 1 metre to
1.5 metres in depth. The temperature is regulated between 27 and 29
Celsius and the Jacuzzi temperature is 34 Celsius. An adult must always
accompany children and non-swimmers. Lone swimmers should let us or
other adults know when they are swimming.
Games Room
Above the swimming pool is the games room which has a pool table (2
x 20p per game), a tabletennis table and darts. We will provide bats
and balls but you bring your own darts.
Tennis Court In the shared grounds there is a hard tennis court for your
use. We only permit the wearing of trainers, plimsolls or tennis shoes
on the court.
Barbecues
Within the walled garden there are barbecues for your use and plenty
of areas for you to be "private" within the gardens. There
is also a stream and water garden. In the trout pond there are some
trout that have survived the attentions of various otters, herons and
two-legged prey! But we do not allow fishing! Our guests are very welcome
to wander in all nine acres of the grounds, all we ask is that gates
are shut behind you and that under nines are supervised (we are very
aware of the dangers to young children of the streams and ponds).
There is a public payphone opposite the house on the A170.
