Forest Retreat
A place to Play, Party or Ponder
Hidden away with just the sound of running water bird song and the odd dog walker you can find many quiet places to grab a mat and do some yoga, meditate, paint, just be with your thoughts or turn up the watts and dance.
Stream to sit by, water to jump in, lawns to play on (we have croquet, badminton and table tennis ) petanque "when in France" do as the French do!
Fountains, fruit and nut trees, woodland & river walks, stargazing (no light pollution) and so much more.
Quarry Pool with sandy beach
A calm water is like a still soul
This breathtaking freshwater reserve carved out of the bedrock, offers a truly unique oasis for fun and relaxation. A lovely sandy beach, 4m waterfall, undulating shallows and deeps with its almost Olympic length, who needs to go to the seaside! (Please note as this is not an offical swimming pool this area is not gated )
Spa Pool
Bubbles are happiness
Nestled into the rock this lovely slate plunge pool is the most beautiful spot for relaxation with massage jets, exercise against it's swimming jet or just cool off and splash around. This corner of the garden has the advantage of being partially in the shade or full sun at certain times of the day. Totally enclosed for child security.
Petanque
A game for all ages
This is The South so there has to be Petanque! Team up for some fun or serious 'pointing' in the dappled light of huge trees overlooking the river. Per with floodlights for evening entertainment.
Fountains, fruit and nut trees, woodland and river walks.
