Unless alternative arrangements have been made, we kindly request that you vacate by 10am on the day of your departure to give us time to prepare the property to the same high standard for the next guests. A later departure may be possible by special arrangement with reception, only if no one is arriving that day.

Please return the keys to the key box.  Make sure you have everything with you, you have logged out of any accounts on the TV, and let us know if there have been any problems.

If possible, please leave any feedback on the comments form for our team.

On departure, if you can strip the beds and leave the linen in a pile that is appreciated. We also appreciate you putting out the rubbish.

The hot tub will be cleaned out and filled with fresh water on the day of your arrival.  You do not need to empty the water during your stay, there is an anti-bacterial treatment for the water in the hot tub.

The hot tub is set between 37-39 degrees, and you will be able to use the temperature controls to adjust. Please see the control panel on the hot tub to operate the jets. Always ensure that the tub is left on auto when not in use. Please note that the tub will not heat when the jets are set to high.

There are lights over the hot tub area, controlled from a light switch.

A lot of factors play a role when heating the water, ambient temperature, weather conditions etc. Keep the lid on the hot tub when heating to conserve the heat. There is a hosepipe in the area for the addition of cold water if you would like to cool it down or need to top up the tub for any reason.

The water is heated by circulating through the system via an inlet and outlet pipe within the hot tub. DO NOT let the water drop below its original level. If necessary, please use the hose pipe provided to top up the water level.

The water is heated via an electric heater. This warms at around 1-2 degrees per hour so the hot tub may not be able to be used until later on the first night.
