Do not be alarmed if you are asked to sign to the effect that your use of a hot tub is at your own risk. This is common procedure and just an attempt by cottage owners to protect themselves, because guests sometimes do silly things.

Indulging in the soothing warm water of a hot tub is pleasurable for most and is even a sociable activity if it is a large hot tub that can accommodate several people. Hot tubs are rather like Marmite – people either love them or hate them. Most of us have happily climbed into a hot tub or Jacuzzi at the local swimming pool without a thought about hygiene or safety.

The chances are that a hot tub with a cottage holiday is part of a leisure centre or a private one on the verandah, and the climate of Louth is not that suitable for spending hours semi-naked outside. The allotted time by hot tub manufacturers for each session is about half an hour. The massaging and pulsating jet action is timed from the press of a buttonand then it is a dashinto your country cottage unless it is the height of summer.

Most of us know not to expect wall to wall sunshine in Louth. It is best to take that umbrella just in case.
