We all know that the pool is awesome on a stinking hot day to cool off, but on those days where it's not quite as warm outside, and for the off summer months, the pool could do with being that little bit warmer!
Help is at hand - Kaz from the hotel is now running group exercise classes at 6am Monday & Friday. She is also available for personal training and may be able to help you at lunch times if the morning training sessions don't suit.
Each year we are seeing a steady increase in numbers coming to stay on long weekends. With Easter being early this year it's still really hot during the days and the lake has been stunning during the days of late.
Easter is difficult for hotel trading. We are allowed to be open for the purpose of dining on Good Friday and Easter Sunday only. We are not allowed to sell alcohol off license on either of these days. The following are our Easter Trading Hours.
