Other Things to Note:
Please note, unfortunately our hot tub service company do not work on Sundays. So in the event you are arriving on a Sunday on the same day another guest leaves, the hot tub will not be cleaned and therefore can't be used until the following day. We apologise for any inconvenience.
We may not always be able to prepare the hot tub for last-minute stays. If you are making a booking within 72 hours of your check-in time and would like to use the hot tub, please let us know prior to making your reservation.
