Northfield Hotel makes an ideal holiday base come rain or shine. Indoors there is a superb swimming pool heated to a tropical 84 degrees. A few refreshing lengths of this and then perhaps a hot and invigorating spa bath or, if you want real heat, then try the steam room to clear the skin and make you feel fit for anything - the gym maybe?

Outdoors, the gardens are a pleasure, especially for an evening walk. Two acres in which you can wander, taking in the many flowers and mature shrubs that thrive here, overlooking the bay. And for a little more activity you can even try your hand on the private putting green.
