Bubble Bubble…. It’s Hot Tub Time!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This blog installment comes courtesy of our friends over at Concept Spa.<\/a><\/p>\n

They give us the lowdown on why a hot tub is a great addition to a holiday cottage and some hints and tips on which ones are the best!<\/p>\n

With the levels of competition within the holiday industry increasing, it\u2019s important to implement strategies that help you stand out from the crowd. Hot tubs for holiday lets is one way to stand out from the crowd.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Recent surveys suggest that rental properties with a hot tub perform up to 54% better than those which don\u2019t and bookings for properties with hot tubs are up 36% compared to 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But why? Well think about it like this, with more Brits swapping their sun-filled vacations for staycations in the UK, they\u2019re looking for something that their own property doesn\u2019t offer.<\/p>\n

Right at the top of that list is a hot tub, they want something which is going to add excitement to their holiday and a new experience for the whole family.<\/p>\n

Sea views and rolling hills are a great start, but what good is that if you\u2019re not showing up in the search results? More and more people are searching for houses with hot tubs and the more searches you appear in, the more likely you are to get a booking.<\/p>\n

The image above is from a house which started its letting journey with Menai Holidays. The red line indicated when the hot tub<\/a> was installed, look how much more traffic<\/strong> that house is getting daily! By installing a hot tub, you also appear on our ‘cottages with hot tubs’ page which will create more exposure for your property.<\/p>\n

Satisfied Guests<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We all know how important positive reviews are in this day in age! It’s so important to ensure your guests have the best experience possible! We often see a recurring theme in the testimonials. Comments such as<\/p>\n

\u2018Great location, great hot tub\u2019.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018Amazing property and the hot tub was a massive bonus\u2019<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018We absolutely loved the hot tub\u2019<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We all know that satisfied guests can result in repeat bookings, which has to be the goal, right?<\/p>\n

\n

Social Sharing<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Did someone say \u2018selfie\u2019? We all love a few cheeky snaps in the hot tub with the people closest to us. Hot tub snaps are more likely to make it onto the social media feed of your guests. They may decide to tag your property in them, congratulations their followers may very well end up being your next guests!<\/p>\n

Increase Winter Bookings<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Unfortunately, the UK weather isn\u2019t quite like that of the Costa Del Sol and when guests go on holiday, they\u2019re looking for any excuse to whip out swimwear and flip-flops. If it\u2019s too cold for a stroll down a sandy beach, then the hot tub is the next best thing. Even if it\u2019s stone-cold outside, your guests will still be able to utilise your outside space by taking a dip in the tub.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the Best Hot Tub for a Rental Property?<\/h2>\n

Is it as easy as just picking up any old hot tub? The short answer is\u2026 no. As the safety of your guests<\/strong> should be at the very top of your priorities, it\u2019s important that the hot tub is compliant<\/a> with (HSG) 282<\/strong><\/a>. If you\u2019re wondering what that is, (HSG) 282 consists of regulations and recommendations which have been designed to ensure safe water management.<\/p>\n

Some of these features include:<\/p>\n
