Hot Tub - to the side of the property is a small patio area with a high jet hydrotherapy spa hot tub with screening for greater privacy. Maximum six guests. Rules of use apply. It is important to note that the hot tub is drained, cleaned and refilled at the end of every stay. Due to the generous heating and hot water capacity at the property, the hot tub should be heated to temperature and ready for use on the day of arrival.  

Important – please note that the hot tub needs daily testing and will require attendance by the owner or one of the property team to check the PH levels.  Privacy will be respected but this is essential for health & safety purposes. If guests are not agreeable to daily checks, then regrettably the hot tub will be removed from use for the duration of the stay. Please contact us if you have any concerns.
