Diners are treated to exceptional culinary experiences at the AA Two Rosette-awarded Garden Room, where menus feature ingredients harvested directly from the estate. The expansive on-site Kitchen Garden and orchard supply fresh, zero-mile produce, elevating every meal with vibrant, seasonal flavours.

For ultimate relaxation, the luxurious Eden Spa offers bespoke ESPA treatments, a hydrotherapy pool, and soothing thermal rooms to completely revitalise the body and mind. Fitness enthusiasts can maintain their routines in the state-of-the-art gym, ensuring a perfect balance of wellness and indulgence.
