Swimming Pool / Spa Area:
Home Farm has a Swimming Pool and Spa Area; throughout your stay, we will discreetly monitor the chemical levels for your health and safety. Swimming Pool & Spa Area rules are provided prior to your stay and ALL guests must follow them to ensure safe use. We reserve the right to close the Swimming Pool & Spa Area facility at any point throughout the stay on the grounds of misuse or for health and safety reasons. The use of the swimming pool and spa area should be booked in advance if at all possible, especially for the use of the sauna. This guarantees private time and this avoids too many guests at any given time and also gives us time to heat the sauna up if needed.

2. Children aged 16 and under MUST be accompanied and supervised in the pool and the pool area by an adult at all times.
3. Diving is not permitted under any circumstances.
