All guests will be provided with a swimming pool key which is for their own use during their stay. Please always make sure the pool is locked when you leave as it is a danger to children.
All sessions are booked on the whiteboard outside the pool for each cottage for a daily private session of up to 90 minutes. Further sessions can be allowed ‘on spec’ if the pool is free. You can book up to the end of the following day ahead. Please do not go in expecting to able to swim if you haven’t booked a session, or share it with guests from other cottages.
Pool Bookings can be marked up on the whiteboard outside the pool up to the end of the following day with the name of the cottage and time eg. Brummell Barn 10 – 11.30.

The pool area will be cleaned using anti-viral disinfectant. Hand gel provided to use on your way into and out of the pool area.
A specialist pool company is advising on any additional chemicals required but the use of chlorine in the water is a powerful anti-viral and anti-bacterial additive. The pool will be closed on a Friday morning for maintenance.
All babies must wear swim nappies and please report any accidents immediately for the pool to be cleaned.
Please take all possessions away with you from the pool. We suggest Brummell Barn guests change in their cottage.
The pool is 10m long and 1.5m deep across the whole length with 2 sets of steps. It may not be suited to people with mobility problems.
