What the valley puts in our water

Guests often ask why the water feels so different from a hotel pool. The short answer is that it has been travelling for a very long time before it reaches you.

Where the water comes from

Rain and snow soak into the hills above Sallowmere and sink slowly through the rock. Deep underground the water warms and picks up minerals along the way, then rises back up through a fault in the valley floor. The spring has been used for bathing here for well over a century.

Every pool is filled by the same spring. We simply give it somewhere nice to arrive.

How we care for it

• Pools are fed continuously, so the water is always moving
• Light filtration keeps it clear without heavy chemicals
• Every pool is drained and cleaned weekly

We do not make promises about what mineral water does for you, but we can say this: it feels lovely, it smells faintly of stone, and almost everyone leaves calmer than they arrived.
