Sunnybank House- Outdoor Swimming Pool and Sauna facilities

The pool terrace, BBQ kitchen + dining area & sauna facilities are open for use all year around.

The pool is usually open and heated from April to September inclusive. From Autumn 2024 the pool will remain open and heated from October to March also.  Whilst the pool is maintained at a steady temperature throughout the Summer months, a static temperature cannot be guaranteed throughout the year and will be subject to winter weather conditions.
