Editor's note
The Hotel Brummell features a small outdoor pool, often described as a "plunge pool." It is unheated, making it suitable for a refreshing dip, particularly after using the hotel sauna. The pool is located in a quiet area, contributing to a peaceful atmosphere. Some guests use it first thing in the morning.

What guests say about the pool
In their own words
The rooftop terrace is so lovely for a drink or wind down coffees and the pool (small -more plunge pool) and sauna are great first thing in the morning.
Small sauna and pool was nice to use too.
The sauna was very welcome; the swimming pool is small and unheated so our friends used it as a plunge pool after the sauna.
