Indoor pool

Discreetly tucked away in a secluded corner of the garden is the luxurious, 36' x 18' (11m x 5.5m) indoor swimming pool (max depth is 2 metres). It is heated to 30 degrees Centigrade and is open all year round. There are full changing facilities including a shower and WC.

There are steamer chairs to relax in and decking outside the pool with expansive views over the Otter Valley.

Giant chess

Relax in the evening with a glass of something whilst playing chess and watching the sun go down over Dumpdon Hill.

Large trampoline

Playing in the garden would be incomplete without the large trampoline.

Walking and cycling

You don't have to get in the car to experience some delightful walks and cycle rides. Dumpdon Hill provides panoramic views across two valleys; the walk through the Otter valley to the Sidmouth Arms in Uppottery is rewarded by one of the Otter Brewery's beers; and the meander through the calm and peaceful woodland tended by the Buddhist retreat is a must.

Goal!!

Always popular with kids of whatever age.
