Maybe you had a heavy one last night. Maybe tomorrow’s your chosen day for seriously letting loose. Whatever your reason for wanting to hang back at the house, it could be one of the best decisions you make. Here are just a selection of the countless things to get stuck into during your day off from exploring…
Arguing over rules? Pfft. Make up your own!
The great thing about Northridge is its ability to put a hell of a show on right beneath its roof and no further than the walled garden. The weather’s misbehaving? Who cares when there’s so much fun to be had indoors? Head to the games area for table tennis, table football and pool. Plan a tournament and get everyone involved. Get the shots ready and you won’t be forgetting rules anytime soon! Those who do? Well, they’ll get a good head-start for the evening ahead…

Strip off and soak it up
Oh, so inviting. See the steam rise, feel the warmth rising from the surface. And take your pick! With two hot tubs there’s plenty of room to spread out and soak it up during a lazy afternoon. There’s nothing quite like laying back in those bubbles with the jets massaging your back as the sun goes down, darkness descends and a chill evening sets in. Nothing but bliss can get to you here. How long should one stay in a hot tub? Till your fingertips begin to prune? Ohh, just a little longer…

What’s that? The sun’s out? To the barbie!
Chargrilled, smokey cuts, homemade garlic bread, a fresh salad and a bucket of beers. Mouthwatering! We’re tapping into something primal and timeless when we gather around for food cooked over a fire. Add sun, comfortable furniture, tunes and chilled drinks and you’ve hit on something perfect. There really is nothing like a good BBQ. So get to work! Who’s turn is it for a beer run? Who’s DJ? Who’s making the salad? I’m hungry!

Pampering on site? Pass me that phone!
Yes, if you could do with some revitalising and a little loosening of knots after a heavy night in Leeds or York, or you just want some special treatment because – well, just because! – then chill and let it all come to you!
