Finding the house

Marrow Springs sits on the river Slatebeck at the foot of the Marrow hill, fifteen minutes' walk from Kesselford Bridge station. Follow the steam; on cold mornings the yard marks itself.

Getting here

Train: Kesselford Bridge, then the Slatebeck footpath south. The sign at the footbridge says "warm baths" and has since 1932.
On foot: the towpath gate opens onto the drying yard. Ring the brass bell if the yard door is latched.
By car: six spaces behind the boiler house, free for bathers. On scrubbing Thursdays the lane doubles as the drying rack, so arrive early.
By water: the Slatebeck punt mooring accepts bathers arriving by punt, and the house pretends this is ordinary.

What to bring

A towel; or take a house towel from the deck and leave it folded.
A lock for the locker, or leave valuables at the deck desk with the steward.
Robe and sandals are provided. So is the tea.
Nothing else. The pool hall has been famously minimal since 1926.

Accessibility

The deck, Resting Hall and Cascade Bath are step-free. The Meridian has a hoist at the west steps and the Mosaic Room a cool bench at the door. Tell the house what you need in the booking notes and the steward will have it ready; nobody has ever been turned away for asking twice.
