On a clear night why not try stargazing in one of our two bubbly hot tubs available on site for hire; we have minimal light pollution which means you can immerse yourself into the massaging effect of the bubbles whilst the steam clears your stress away! Please book the hot tub as soon as you have decided you would like it so we can prepare it for your arrival.

Don’t forget the baby monitor! Each hot tub has a private changing area and is secluded. We appreciate the amenities may not appeal to everyone so we have decided not to include their facility into the price of your stay, therefore additional charges apply for their use. Cost: Every new guest will have a clean, freshly filled and heated hot tub ready for arrival. Due to this, we hire out the hot tubs on a per stay basis at the rate of £30 per day, i.e. if you book 3 nights and wish to hire the hot tub; the cost will be £90. Please note, for shorter stays, there is a minimum charge of £75 for the hot tub. Please ensure you pre book the amenities prior to arrival. All amenities are on a first come, first served basis.
