The hot tub is a wood fired one which means it is heated by logs being burnt/ fire.

Unlike electric hot tubs the hot tub is drained, cleaned and filled with fresh water for your arrival.

It takes approximately 2 hours to heat the hot tub and we provide detailed instructions for how to light and heat the hot tub. You are heating 1000 litres of water and a well stocked established fire is required.

Depending on availability we can offer a pre heat service as an optional extra but lighting and heating the hot tub is considered a key part of the glamping experience. Please get in touch for details.

If you want to bring more than one please get in touch to discuss before booking. The pet fee applies per dog and is to cover the additional cleaning, wear and tear and maintenence.

Please supervise your pet at all times as the cottage is next to Dutton Locks / the river Weaver.
