The Estate facilities offer a range of activities, on and off the lakes, and include the ArtSpa with its pools (heated and an unheated eco-pool), gym and treatment rooms; there are tennis courts, another swimming pool, boating, canoeing and a children’s play area. But you may just want to soak up the beauty of the surroundings and enjoy the atmosphere of relaxation and tranquillity.
