Wander down to the mystical river bordered by beautiful overhanging trees, such a peaceful spot for a picnic in the dappled sunlight, listening to the calming trickle of the river flow. There has even been an otter or two known to make an appearance! The magic doesn't end here… you also have your very own wood-fired hot tub to enjoy.
