While riders are on horseback, there are no separate activities planned for non-riders, who can enjoy the accommodations and region independently. Options include:
The Victorian Spa at the hunting lodge: This is Ireland’s first truly organic Victorian Spa where you can spend the whole day indulging in a comprehensive range of treatments and therapies. It’s also the perfect place to ease your weary muscles after a day spent riding. You can book any treatment directly at the spa, which is located in the hunting lodge - this is at your own expense.
