A hot tub is one of the first things a guest looks for when they book a lodge, cabin or cottage. Get it right and your bookings climb, your nightly rate goes up and your reviews look after themselves. Get it wrong and you are stuck with a tub that breaks under heavy use, costs a fortune to run, or fails a safety check.
So the best holiday park hot tubs are not the flashiest ones. They are the ones built for the job. Here is what to look for, and three of ours that fit the bill.
What makes a good holiday park hot tub
A tub in a rental property is treated as commercial use. That means it needs to meet HSG282, the Health and Safety Executive guidance for spa pools used in a business. In plain terms, a holiday park hot tub should be:
Tough. No fragile headrests or fiddly parts that crack under constant use. Simple to run, with guest controls for heat and jets and the technical settings locked away. Quick to drain and refill between guests, so your changeover stays fast. Fitted for constant sanitiser and 24 hour filtration, so the water stays safe. Well insulated, so your running costs do not eat your margin.
If you want the full picture on the rules, we cover it in our guide to HSG282 compliant holiday let hot tubs.
