The rustic cottage is perfect for a peaceful getaway, complete with a private hot tub which overlooks Crawfordsburn country park.

Perched above Crawfordsburn Country Park, the Treetop Spa offers guests unrivalled forest views for a peaceful rural retreat. Begin your spa journey by enjoying outdoor bathing in the heated pool and hot tub, followed by a unique shower experience to awaken your senses with sounds and aromas transporting you to a tropical rain forest. Detoxify and cleanse the body and mind in our sauna and steam room and unwind in our relaxing cabana.
