WHAT TO BRING

Evening clothing is casual/elegant, ties or dinner suits are not required. A pair of walking shoes is a great idea and an outdoor jacket over the autumn/winter months. Tennis shoes, sports socks and other recreational clothing for outdoor pursuits. Sunglasses help you to cope with our clear, bright light, a swimsuit for our pool (we have robes for you in your suite) and we recommend sun block cream for the summer months.
