Reasons to love the darker evenings...🌓

Our Hilltop transforms by night — and it’s quite the special atmosphere…

The stillness of the sauna
The twinkling of the lights
The gentle steam rising from the hot tubs
The sound of a crackling fire
The simple joy of dining by candlelight

If you’re looking to decompress, rest your eyes, release tired muscles, slow down and sleep more deeply - this is the place to embrace the night skies, whether solo or with your friends.

On Thursdays & Fridays, Hilltop Bathing sessions run until 8pm, and fireside pizza served in the Hilltop Bistro from 5:30pm - 8pm.

✨ Booking ahead is recommended, find the links in our bio to book.

The Cam Valley Orchards shop in Meldreth is open for the season now!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍎 From here, fresh, local apples find their way into our nostalgic Warm Apple & Cinnamon pie — the one everyone says tastes just like their grandma used to make.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥮 Time flies, and while not all of us are lucky enough to enjoy nana’s pies anymore, the comfort of honest, simple food never changes — and you can find a slice waiting for you at our Hilltop Bistro. ( served with whipped cream or ice cream - or both 😉)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🐶 ….and speaking of time — here’s our Ronko:
racing through the Cam Valley Orchards back in 2017, the year we adopted him;
and now, keeping his calm watch on the Hilltop as our wise Chief Stress Reliever, admired by so many of you.

Nature’s Abundance
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍂 Have you noticed an extraordinary number of acorns this year? On our barefoot walking trail, they’ve been crunching underfoot more than ever!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👣 And the more we looked around, the more we realised how rich all the trees and bushes in our meadows are looking with their fruits and nuts.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌰 Even our humble hazelnut bush, which fights for its place by the steps to the Bistro, has produced its very first nuts this year — cue the excited voice of our barefoot mamma when she spotted them!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our friends at recently shared about this natural wonder — it’s called a Mast Year:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌳 Every 3–5 years, trees and bushes produce a bumper crop — far more than wildlife could ever eat. This ensures that some seeds survive to grow into the next generation of saplings. 🌱
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s nature’s clever way of sustaining life. 💚💚💚
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Next time you’re outdoors, pause for a moment. Look around. The wonders of nature are always there, waiting for us to notice. ✨🍃
