How to use the hot tub

We want to make sure your stay at The Mole is jam-packed with fun and hassle-free - and that includes the hot tub in your lodge or cottage. To help you, us and our other guests have a fab time, here are a few top tips.

Our Mole maintenance team works hard to ensure that hot tubs remain clean and safe to use at all times. When they are cleaned and refilled, it can take some time for the hot tub to warm up - so your hot tub may not be fully warm for comfortable use until the evening of your arrival. This also applies to early check-ins.

If your hot tub needs a quick clean during your stay with us, it may also need time to reheat.

Your safety and comfort are really important to us, and that covers water quality, so while we want you to enjoy as much time in your hot tub, maintenance and wellbeing are vitally important, so bromine is added to the hot tubs to safeguard the level of hygiene.

If you are unhappy with the quality of water in your hot tub, or uncertain as to how to operate it, please ask a member of the team. A word of caution - if our usage guidelines are not followed or found to be abused, a warning and a £50 hot tub maintenance fee may apply.

WARNING

Please don’t use the hot tub for 30 minutes after it’s been cleaned by the hot tub maintenance team during your stay. The time you can re-enter the hot tub will be written clearly on the lid, so you know when you can get back in

Lodge Etiquette

We want everyone to get the most out of their Mole moments, so that includes considering fellow guests and neighbours when it comes to reasonable noise levels; bear in mind that sound travels much further in the countryside - and excessive disruption could result in you and your party being asked to leave. The same goes for anti-social behaviour or failure to follow safety signs. Please note - we ask for guests to keep noise to a minimum after 10pm.

Thank you and we hope you enjoy your stay!

Please note our lodges have a minimum 2 night length stay.
If you’d like to book more than 5 lodges or hotel rooms, please call our team on +44 (0) 1769 540561
