Please do not dispose of anything other than what nature intended and small quantities of toilet paper down the toilets so as not to clog the septic tank. If this happens you will be charged for the work required.

The swimming pool has an electrically-powered cover and is also fenced-in for security. Please ensure your group is all water-safe or, where young children are concerned, they are supervised by a responsible, water-safe adult at all times. The use of the swimming pool is entirely at your own risk. The pool is usually opened and heated from May through September, depending on the weather, and at the owners’ discretion – it can be kept open for October but will not be heated. No glass or breakables are allowed in or near the pool. If it is windy please make sure that all parasols are down.
