The fine print
Phase one of our exciting Source Spa and Wellness refurbishment is complete and we no longer have a Snooker Room.

The indoor pool and spa area will be closed from mid-October 2023 until completion, which is expected in February 2024. However, rest assured final dates will be posted on our website and social media, and guests will be contacted prior to arrival.
Please note that gentlemen are kindly requested to wear a jacket and tie in the Jubilee Restaurant during evening dinner service.
