After a day of exploration, you can unwind and relax in the wood-fired hot tub located in the garden, imagine soaking in warm, bubbling water, surrounded by nature’s beauty, and overlooking the sparkling sea - it’s a truly rejuvenating experience that will leave you feeling refreshed. If the weather is bad, sit in the conservatory and snuggle up, watch the fantastic night skies, play one of the board games or read a good book.
