Hot Tubs
We’re delighted to offer hot tubs at Standlow Farm (Highview Grange, Foxglove Cottage, and The Barn), Holly House, and with the Main House at Stainsborough Hall. They’re perfect for soaking away the stresses of daily life and adding a little indulgence to your stay. (Additional fees apply).
Hot Tubs at Standlow Farm & Holly House
Our electric hot tubs here are emptied, cleaned, and refilled before every arrival. The filters will keep the water clean during your stay provided that your follow our Hot Tub Rules (See below).
If you’re checking in after a same-day turnaround, the water may take until late evening or the following morning to reach the right temperature.
The hot tub must never be switched off at the mains. Only authorised maintenance personnel are authorised to control the mains power.
Hot tub cleanliness is paramount. For your own safety it is essential that the water is kept clean, as failure to do so results in the water balance changing, which seriously diminishes the effectiveness of the sanitising chemicals.
Our authorised maintenance personnel check the chemical balance of the hot tub prior to your arrival and if you are staying for more than two days, we will monitor the levels of micro bacteria, water balance and quality during your stay. Water balance/chemicals will be adjusted as necessary, and results recorded. This procedure is a safety requirement for hot tubs in holiday properties and ensures that the chemical balance of the water remains continuously safe throughout your stay.
If upon inspection the hot tub is found to be dirty due to misuse, it may be necessary for us to empty the hot tub and switch it off. We reserve the right to turn the hot tub off for the remainder of your stay, and charge a £75 cleaning fee or any additional damage costs.
If at any point during your stay you have concerns about the water, please call us immediately.
The Hot Tub at Stainsborough Hall
The Hot Tub at Stainsborough Hall is a log-fired hot tub that you'll find on the lawn below the Ha-Ha in a secluded area.
Before you arrive, the Hot Tub will have been cleaned, filled and the necessary chemicals added to ensure that you are safe during your stay and the water heated.
This type of hot tub can only be used once before the water has to be emptied, cleaned and re-filled. Therefore, we have budgeted for this to be done twice during your stay and someone from the company we use to manage our hot tubs will arrive to clean and refresh the hot tub, during your stay. Grace will discuss timings of this with you.
There are two buttons on the hot tub. One switches on the jets and the other switches on the lights in the hot tub. Please do not leave a fire burning unattended overnight or if you leave the house.
