Retreat stays
Twelve garden rooms sit along a stone path through the ferns, each with a low linen bed, a rattan reading chair and a window onto the trees. There are no televisions, the phone signal is patchy, and the only sound at night is water. A retreat stay includes unlimited time on the thermal circuit, breakfast by the spring, a morning movement class with Priya, and one treatment of your choice for every two nights. Guests arrive from 3 pm and are welcome to soak until the hall closes. Most tell us two nights is good and three is better.

we came for a day and stayed three
Warm water, cold air, and nobody in a hurry.
Rest is the whole plan
We built the rooms small and warm on purpose, so the day happens outdoors and in the water. Each has a deep tub, a rain shower, a kettle and a shelf of well loved books. Breakfast is slow food from the kitchen garden, and dinner is served on the terrace from 6 pm. If you want a quieter stay, ask for one of the rooms at the far end of the path, where the ferns grow tallest.
Arrive on a Sunday or a Tuesday and the path is at its quietest. Many guests bring a book, leave the car in the lot for the whole stay and walk into Sallowmere for dinner one evening along the river trail.
