Jacuzzi

Whether your visit to Camillaun is for relaxation or exertion the Hot Tub is a favored spot to unwind. Located within the lodge, indulge yourself with views to the gardens. Our jacuzzi is one of the small luxuries that sets Camillaun apart as not being just an ordinary B&B but an experience in itself.

Our full sized tennis court is located at the side of the lodge and is well maintained. It’s free for guest use and rackets and balls are available from the lodge but if you have a favorite racket feel free to bring your own. The tarmac court is fenced so as to keep the balls in and it is floodlit should you have the desire to keep going late into the evening.
