HOT TUB RULES
We understand that having a hot tub in your cottage/apartment is a special touch to your holiday experience and adds that little bit of extra indulgence to your break. We want you to have pleasurable experience relaxing under the stars and enjoying the company of friends and family. For your (and your guests’ safety), it is essential to understand and adhere to the advice and guidelines for proper use as outlined below:

⦁ Hot tub cleanliness is paramount. For your own safety it is essential that the water is kept clean as failure to do so results in the water balance changing which seriously diminishes the effectiveness of the sanitizing chemicals. Our personnel will check the chemical balance of the hot tub periodically to monitor the levels of micro bacteria. This may be up to 3 times a day (dependent on usage) to check the water balance and quality. Water balance/chemicals will be adjusted as necessary, and results recorded. This procedure is a safety requirement for hot tubs in holiday properties and ensures that the chemical balance of the water remains continuously safe for your enjoyment throughout your stay.
