In 93 acres of grounds, the hotel invites you to put on your wellies and get out to explore. Or if a peaceful afternoon of boardgames and books by the fire is more your speed there’s ample opportunity for that as well. In addition, the spa is a world of its own. Brand new and ultra contemporary, the 44,000 sq. ft. luxury spa has a state-of-the-art gym and spin studio, an indoor pool, outdoor hydrotherapy pool and wild swimming pool and a thermal suite. Set into the natural contours of the land, the spa has been designed to showcase the best of modern wellbeing but also to be harmonious with the surrounding landscape. A grass and sedum roof as well as green oak cladding and lots of natural light all make for a peaceful setting.
