Outside, the gardens are simply spectacular - a haven of mature landscaping, lawns, a rockery and a gentle waterfall flowing into a pond. Several terraces offer perfect spots for alfresco dining, sundowners or morning coffee. The heated outdoor pool and bubbling hot tub take centre stage, creating a true sanctuary for sun-drenched afternoons or starlit evenings.
