An array of activities can be enjoyed onsite, including walks through the stunning arboretum, croquet, and tennis. The outdoor heated swimming pool is open during summer. Please note that occasional essential maintenance may require the pool to be closed for a period. To avoid inconvenience, we recommend calling ahead or inquiring at reception upon arrival.
