WE REOPEN 8AM SATURDAY!!… Common Questions Answered!
We are incredibly excited to welcome you back from tomorrow. We have worked incredibly hard during the closure to make us COVID 19 safe and carry on with our ongoing improvements programme, such as refurbishing reception, a new volcano sauna, upgrading ventilation systems and refurbishing the original hydro pool area …
We have as advised by the government; the industry governing body and our own health & safety director made some changes to ensure we are safe but also that we can create an environment you can enjoy…
IT IS IMPORTANT TO STATE THAT THIS IS LEARNING CURVE FOR US TOO SO ALL PROCEDURES AND RESTRICTIONS WILL BE REVIEWED EVERY TWO WEEKS!!! I will say I have been over cautious on the numbers allowed in and I fully expect that after two weeks a lot of the booking systems will be relaxed.
