The hot tub can be a pleasurable and relaxing experience. However, there are strict rules and guidelines that must be adhered to when using the hot tub to ensure your enjoyment and safety. The lead guest is responsible for making sure that all members of their party, and their guests, are aware of, and strictly adhere to, the following health and safety guidelines.
Please note we must visit each day 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 lodges and ensures that the chemical balance of the water remains continuously safe for your enjoyment throughout your stay.

Failure to maintain a clean pool may result in the need to drain down, sanitise, and re-fill the Hot Tub. Guests should be aware that failure to maintain a clean pool could result in a deduction from their deposit to pay for the drain down and cleaning of the Hot Tub. If we do need to refill the hot tub then it takes approximately 24 hours to return the tub to a comfortable temperature.
