Swimming

Your very own spring fed natural swimming pond

During your stay, you have access to your own private, spring-fed natural swimming pond — a peaceful place to cool off, relax and connect with the surrounding landscape. The pond is constantly refreshed by a natural spring, making the water clean, clear and invigorating.

Before using the pond, please take a moment to read the guidance below to ensure safe and respectful enjoyment. Enjoy the pond — take your time, stay safe, and make the most of this unique natural setting.

Important Safety Information

  • The pond is unsupervised and used at your own risk. Please do not swim alone.

  • Children must be strictly supervised at all times, and only enter the water at the responsible adult’s discretion.

  • The water is naturally cold year-round, as it is continuously fed by an underground spring. Please enter slowly and take care.

  • The pond ranges between approximately 1m and 2m deep, with a natural clay base. It is not suitable for diving or jumping in.

  • Access to the water should be via the deck ladder only. The banks are steep and can be slippery — please do not attempt to climb in or out elsewhere.

  • A life ring is provided at the bathroom end of the cabin — please familiarise yourself with its location before entering the water.

About the Natural Environment

  • This is a natural pool, with aquatic plants including reeds, lilies and other vegetation. These are essential for filtering and maintaining water quality — please do not remove or disturb them.

  • The base of the pond is clay, and silt may be disturbed during use, causing temporary cloudiness. This will settle naturally over time.

  • The water is clean and fresh, but we recommend showering after swimming.

  • The pond is home to wildlife — including ducks, newts and dragonflies. Please enjoy observing them respectfully. If you’re lucky, you may spot a flash of blue from the resident kingfisher.Key Info
