Our swimming pool complex is a very popular facility with our guests.  It houses a 10 metre x 5 metre indoor heated pool , a Finnish sauna, a fully-equipped gymnasium and a large indoor games room.

The building, which from the outside resembles a barn, is carefully sited between mature trees and hedges so that it does not interfere with the natural beauty of South Coombe.

Outside it is landscaped with terraces, plants and shrubs enclosed by the existing natural Devon banks in order to make the most of its sunny south facing aspect. The main entrance is approached by a ramp in order to facilitate easy access.

The gym, which has a large glass window overlooking the swimming pool room, is equipped with Johnson Health Tech cardio vascular equipment (a treadmill, a cross trainer and a rower), together with a Life Fitness multi-gym.

(There is a separate charge for use of the gym).

Finally, the building also houses a family – sized changing room, complete with shower and toilet, and a separate disabled toilet.

The temperature and humidity of the building is maintained by computer-controlled air handling and heat recovery systems in order to make it a comfortable place to enjoy whatever you are doing.

Be sure to visit the complex during your stay at South Coombe. If you do, you will see why we are very proud of it!

The swimming pool is housed in a large airy space with wonderful oak beams straddling the large vaulted ceiling. The water is at a constant depth of 1.2 metres and is kept comfortably warm.

Overlooking the pool is our Finnish sauna, completely clad in specially treated timber and with a smoked glass door. Adjacent to the sauna is a shower for use before and after using the pool and the sauna.

Our games room, overlooking the terrace, is also a large airy room with a high vaulted ceiling.

It houses a full – size pool table, a table tennis table and a table soccer game. (There is a small charge for use of the pool table and table soccer).
