Cottages with hot tubs in Western Isles

holidaymakers new to spas sometimes have peculiar beliefs about safety and the effects on skin. They are safe to use assuming that correct disinfection programmes are employed and people do not ignore the rules. Yes, you will end up looking like a prune after prolonged hours in a hot tub, and sun tan oil will leave an oil slick on the surface, which is why guests are requested not to use sun tan oil before wading in.

Indulging in the soothing warm water of a hot tub is pleasurable for most and beats meeting people down at the local pub because it reduces inhibitions. 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 Western Isles is not that suitable for lengthy periods semi-naked outside. The maximum time spent in a hot tub in any one session is about half an hour. The bubbling and activity is timed for a periodand then it is a dashinto your holiday cottage unless the weather is very warm.

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

A hot tub is a lovely extra to have if you enjoy that kind of thing and as long as it is under cover, can be enjoyed despite the weather. Do spend a little time thinking about the kind of things that would add to your pleasure on holiday.
