    The Space:

    UK’s only Copper bath backing onto RSPB Reserve



    Tucked in the Knapwell conservation area, our romantic retreat backs directly onto the RSPB’s Hope Farm landscape, so your evening soak is accompanied by birdsong, not traffic. Step onto a private deck and sink into a deep outdoor copper bath for two and sky while you listen to skylarks and owls. The copper tub holds the heat twice as long as a normal bath and its naturally antimicrobial surface keeps your soak feeling luxuriously clean – a quiet, chemical‑free spa in the open air.
