Failure to pay by this time will constitute cancellation by the Tenant, in which case condition 4 will apply.

3. Alterations or Cancellation by the Company

5. Corrections Upon receipt of the Confirmation.
The Tenant will check the details and the Company must be notified of any corrections within 14 days.

Hot Tub SAFETY

All hot tubs are emptied, cleaned and refilled after each stay, therefore the hot tubs may not be up to temperature until late evening / early next morning.

Some properties have hot tubs and to ensure the safe and enjoyable use of the hot tubs we request that you read through and adhere to the rules of this safety document.

  • We do not advise use of the hot tub during pregnancy, please contact your doctor for advice before entering the water
  • Hot tubs are only to be used by children aged 12 and above. Children aged 12 -15 must be supervised by an adult while using the hot tub
  • Hot tubs are not to be used in bad weather
  • People with skin, ear, genital or other body infections, open sores, or wounds should not use the hot tub because of the possibility of spreading infection or irritating your condition
  • Persons with heart disease, diabetes, low or high blood pressure, or any serious illness should not enter the hot tub without prior consultation with their doctor
  • Never use the hot tub while using or after using narcotics or other drugs that may cause sleepiness, drowsiness or raise/lower blood pressure
  • Hot tubs are not to be used whilst drunk. The heat of the hot tub water speeds up the effects of alcohol and can cause sleepiness, dizziness and unconsciousness
  • Avoid using the hot tub immediately after a heavy meal
  • At 39-40°C limit your time in the hot tub to a maximum of 20 minutes.
  • Do not immerse your head in the hot tub water.
  • Never use the hot tub alone
  • Take care when entering and leaving the hot tub. When leaving the hot tub leg muscles may be relaxed enough to make you unsteady
  • Never use glass near/in the hot tub
  • Do not use any electrical appliances near/in the hot tub
  • If any fault or damage occurs with the hot tub please contact a member of our team at the earliest convenient moment
  • Shower with soap and water before and after using the hot tub. Showering before use washes away many of the common skin bacteria and removes lotions, deodorants, creams etc which reduce the effectiveness of the spa sanitizer which disinfects the water
  • When not in use, make sure the cover is on and secured.
  • Do not sit or walk on the hot tub cover
  • Avoid entering the hot tub water immediately after exercising as the water temperature can affect the heart rate
  • Take care on the decking/hot tub steps as water from the tub can cause it to be slippery
  • If any allergic reaction occurs leave the hot tub and rinse off in the shower. If the reaction persists contact reception or go to a local doctor or A&E
  • Do not turn hot tub isolation switch off as the hot tub’s power needs to be turned on to carry out the cleaning cycles

NOTE TO PARENTS AND HOT TUB USERS

It is your responsibility to enforce the rules of safety within the house hot tub.

When you book in on arrival at reception and sign the swimming pool & gym liability waiver form it does state you have to refer to the hot tub safety document for your safety whilst using the hot tub, the document is in the Information Folder in your  house. 

PARENTS

The life and health of you, your family and friends are important. Please practise safety and supervise your hot tub

PLEASE NOTE

To comply with HSE regulations the hot tub water is checked every day.(If access to the hot tub is through the house, a member of staff will need access every day during your stay)
