Choose from spacious and modern cottages for up to six people, or lodges complete with hot tubs, verandahs and open plan living.
This exquisite estate is like stepping into a fairytale - a combination of historic hotel and exceptional new spa. From yoga in the woods, to bathing in a natural pool in the spa garden, this is a wonderful place for exploring the great outdoors.
