WATER SAVING

Please help us to save this most precious resource.

If possible, please take a shower instead of a bath.

Try not to over-fill the victorian baths.

Re-use bath towels if you are staying more than one night:-
Towels hung up will be left for re-use, towels left on the floor or in the bath will be washed and replaced.

Our thanks for your co-operation.
