Pool Complex: This comprises a lobby, changing room, wc’s and shower, the pool room and ancillary plant room and workshop.  The pool itself is 32 x 16 and the pool room has an insulated roof and three sets of French doors.  Included is the spa bath.

Camp Site: This lies to the rear of the house and cottages.  There are five electric points and the site is licensed by the Caravan Club for five vans plus unlimited tents.
