Private, tropically heated indoor swimming pool, in converted barn or outdoor SwimSpa both in stunning locations with far-reaching views of the Dark Peak, the north-eastern tip of the Peak District.  

Your Yorkshire Time’s private pool is heated to a tropical 32 degrees centigrade (it may be hotter depending on the outside temperature and other factors, for example it is 35 degrees at the time of writing, March 2019). It is 8m x 5m in size and has steps into both the shallow and deep ends. In addition to the swimming pool, for a small additional cost, guests can also book the sauna and spa bath which overlooks the pool.


We have now also added an outdoor SwimSpa with panoramic views across the Dark Peak. The Swimspa is a part hot tub and part small outside swimming pool. it is  19’ long and gives you a workout as you can swim against a current. or Simply just enjoy the relaxing bubbles. Perfect for when we can't let our guests use the indoor facilities. You can book these facilities along with any of our property bookings.
