Well-behaved pets welcome

Please note the smart TV does not have aerial channels

Long term stays are allowed

This is a quiet residential area so parties and loud noise are not allowed

The hot tub

Please note that the hot tub heats up slowly: we have to replace the water for each stay so it may not reach temperature until your second day

IMPORTANT: If you notice the water is discoloured stop use immediately and inform Travel Fox, who will send a technician

The probe sensor must remain in the water at all times with the cap in place

Shower with soap before use to remove lotions, perfume etc which can affect water quality. Tie back long hair

Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol, heavy meals and exercise before use as the heat can affect your heart rate and heighten the effect of alcohol. Never drink alcohol or eat in the tub

Keep your head above water; never submerge your head

Never enter alone or leave non-swimmers alone. Children must be supervised at all times

To prevent overheating stay in for a maximum of 15-20 minutes per session

Do not allow the temperature to exceed 40℃ (lower for children)

Don’t overload the hot tub with more users than recommended

Please leave the lid on when not in use to prevent anything falling in

Out of consideration for our neighbours the tub must not be used after 10pm. As this is a quiet residential area no music is permitted after 10pm and loud music is not permitted at any time. Excessive noise, parties or behaviour that disturbs neighbours is prohibited and may result in immediate action or cancellation of the stay

Safety precautions

Keep out of reach of children. Young children (often under 8) are not allowed in the tub and those between 8 and 17 must be supervised by an adult

Don`t sit on the cover as it isn’t designed to bear weight and could break

No glass or sharp objects: use plastic or the (provided) non-glass drinkware. Broken glass is a serious hazard!

Remove all jewellery as it can cause damage and become tarnished

Do not use any electrical appliance in or near the tub

Health considerations

If you are pregnant, elderly or have a chronic health condition like heart disease, diabetes, or high/low blood pressure seek medical advice before use. Don`t use if you are unwell, have had diarrhoea in the past 14 days or have an infectious skin condition
