Our Lodge

We stayed in a Hot Tub Lodge at Marian Resort and Spa and it genuinely shocked me in the best way possible. Sometimes lodge stays can feel a little basic or tired, but this one felt really modern, stylish and luxurious. The lodge was spotless and had everything we needed for a family stay, including a well-equipped kitchen, comfy bedrooms and loads of space for the children to play.

The private hot tub was definitely the highlight for us though. During the day, the children absolutely loved going in after swimming and exploring. Then on an evening once they’d gone to sleep, it was so nice being able to sit outside and properly relax. One of the best things about the layout was that the hot tub area was directly outside one of the bedrooms in a private fenced section, so we could still stay close to the children while enjoying some quiet time ourselves.

Marian Resort and Spa Leisure Facilities

One of the things I really liked about Marian Resort and Spa is that you get access to the leisure facilities included with your stay. We used the swimming pool during the family swim sessions and the pool itself was lovely. It felt clean, modern and relaxing without being too busy. The children had such a good time splashing around and playing. Although I do have to laugh because despite us being there during the designated child-friendly hours, there was one woman tutting because the kids were laughing and enjoying themselves in the pool… which felt a bit ridiculous considering it was literally family swim time. Other than that though, the atmosphere was really nice and the facilities felt much more premium than we expected for the price we paid.

Spa Facilities

We didn’t actually use the spa, aside from the pool, during our stay at Marian Resort and Spa because we were mainly focused on spending time with the children and making the most of the lodge, but the facilities looked beautiful. The resort offers spa treatments alongside facilities including a sauna, steam room and hydrotherapy experiences, so I can definitely imagine this being an amazing option for a couples break or girls’ trip too. It’s quite rare to find somewhere that manages to feel both family-friendly and luxurious, but Marian Resort and Spa really seems to balance both well.

Food at Marian Resort and Spa

We didn’t eat in the restaurant at Marian Resort and Spa during our stay simply because the lodge kitchen made self-catering so easy. With three children between us, it was actually much easier to do relaxed breakfasts in pyjamas and simple evening meals in the lodge rather than getting everybody ready to go out for dinner. That said, the resort does have an on-site restaurant and sports bar, plus family-friendly dining options available if you don’t want to cook during your stay.
