The pool area at the house is decked and has sunbeds and chairs and is secure due to a fence all around it. A great place to chill.

We find this to be very warm in winter yet cool and airy in summer. Outside: The gardens are well established and very pretty. They are tended to twice a month during the summer season. The outdoor pool is private, but not heated. We find that the heat from the sun will make your dip pleasureable in the summer months.
