On weekends you'll all but have the spa to yourself after 8 p.m., but whenever you arrive be sure to leave your modesty at the door: nude bathing is expected. Langgasse...
...first, Beltane, a historic festival in May, seemed a fitting choice. Formals are in May! Indeed, Beltane is an ancient Gaelic celebration that occurs on the first of May. Combined with the barbaric Goat Roast, maybe Beltane could be the perfect choice for an enduring Dunster formal name, assuming the ladies don’t mind bringing dates donning kilts and Braveheart war paint...
