The Hot Tub
A handcrafted wood-fired hot tub — perfect for stargazing, post-swim recovery, and long Devon evenings.
£100 Surcharge
The hot tub surcharge covers wood supply (25–30 logs), filling, and cleaning for one session. Additional sessions are approximately £30. Please note at checkout if you would like to use the hot tub.
How to Use
- 1
Fill from the filtered water tap under the kitchen window (not the old tap). Fill time: ~1 hour.
- 2
Water level: 10–15cm above the second pipe to the fire.
- 3
Never light the fire until water covers both pipes.
- 4
Heat time: 3–6 hours depending on the season. Patience is rewarded.
- 5
Keep the lid on during heating — it is critical to heat retention.
- 6
Never empty the tub while the fire is on or still hot.
Good to Know
The Lid
Insulated and critical. Handle the velcro seam carefully. Replace ensuring all edges are in position. Do not let children play with it.
Chemicals
Not needed for short stays — water is always filled fresh. For longer stays, a bromine tablet and holder is in the utility room.
Limescale
White residue on the surface is completely normal limescale — nothing to worry about.
Overnight
Add a few logs late at night, put the lid on, and the water will still be warm in the morning.
Cleaning
Soft cloths only — no scouring pads, as they will scratch the surface.
“No jets, no chemicals — just a wood fire, amazing water, and Devon stars overhead.”
