Optional add-ons

Wood-fired hot tub - please read before booking.

Our wood-fired hot tub is available as an optional add-on during your stay.

This is a self-service experience: we provide the firewood, and you heat the tub by adding logs throughout the day. The water takes approximately 5 hours to reach temperature, with logs needed roughly once an hour.

Hire is for one specific day of your stay



There is one hot tub on site, so availability is limited



You must contact us in advance to confirm your chosen date



The booking is only secured once the date is confirmed

For something a little different, The Black Knights Skydive Centre is located nearby, offering tandem and solo jumps.
