The wide, flat lawn is perfect for outdoor yoga, while the generous terrace with ample seating for al fresco dining and a shallow splash pool (open year-round, though unheated) invite leisurely afternoons in the sun.

By the water’s edge, the riverside kitchen, complete with oven, induction hob and fridge makes serving tea and treats effortless. The river teems with life, home to 42 species of birds. Paddleboards, a canoe and life jackets are available in the boatshed. The jetty and slipway also offer easy access for wild swimming or invigorating cold-water therapy.
