Hi All,
As many of you may know, Durley House has undergone a number of changes over the past year.
We had originally hoped to establish a children’s nursery and support centre within the house and grounds; however, despite our efforts, planning permission was ultimately declined.
Following this, we have recently taken the decision to bring the pool and grounds back under the direct management of Durley House. This will allow us to have greater oversight of the spaces and ensure they are operated in a way that best reflects the standards and experience we want to provide.
From 1st June onwards, the swimming pool will therefore be available exclusively for private swim sessions and birthday parties. Outside of these bookings, the pool will be reserved for guests staying at Durley House and for residents.
We have also reinstated our previous booking system and introduced longer intervals between sessions to help us deliver a higher-quality experience for all visitors.
All existing bookings made through GBHQ will, of course, be fully honoured, and we have a record of all confirmed reservations.
Please note that the events space and BBQ huts are unaffected and will continue to operate as normal.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support, and we look forward to welcoming you to Durley House.
Kind regards,
Matt
