Pool :
The pool is 12mx6m with Roman steps leading to the shallow end, this is level for 3 metres and is 0.9 metres deep. This makes it ideal for children of all ages, safe and ideal for learning to swim. The deep end is 1.5metres. Due to revised safety standards we have an electric pool cover, which is kept closed when there is no one in the pool and when children are playing. The pool is kept immaculately clean by the owner . It is a lovely experience swimming in the crystal water The pool is overlooked by each patio so the children are always in view.
