Outside, the stylish decked area is beautifully designed with twin chairs, a picnic table, a BBQ and a hot tub, neatly enclosed in one corner. Sit outside with a drink in the sunshine or cook up a tasty meal on the BBQ before enjoying a relaxing soak in the hot tub after a day out in the fresh air.
