Top 5 Health Benefits of a Hot Tub

Soaking in a hot tub for 15-20 minutes can offer a number of benefits. Add to this the peace and tranquility of the Kernock Estate, wonderful views, and mood lighting and you have the perfect conditions to plunge into relaxation.

1. Relax and De-Stress

   Plunge into relaxation and let the warm water together with hydrotherapy jets help to relax muscles, ease tension, and reduce stress thus promoting overall well-being and revitalisation. The buoyancy of the water supports your body and relieves the pressure on joints and muscles. Hot Tubs at Kernock are heated to 38^o

2. Improve Circulation

   The heat from the hot tub can cause your blood vessels to dilate, which improves circulation. This can help with better oxygen and nutrient delivery to your muscles and tissues.

3. Pain Relief

   For those suffering from joint and musculoskeletal conditions, the heat and buoyancy can help reduce pain and inflammation. The soothing effect of the water and jets can also alleviate general aches and pains and rehabilitate muscles.

4. Better Sleep

   Soaking in a hot tub before bedtime can help improve sleep quality. The relaxation and stress relief it provides can help you fall asleep faster and enjoy deeper, more restful sleep.

5. Detoxification

   Turn the Hot Tub up to the 40^o max to help open up your pores and promote sweating, which can aid in detoxification. This can help eliminate toxins from your body and improve skin health.

The Hot Tubs at Kernock Cottages

If you love hot tubs, this is the place for you. Each of our four luxury holiday cottages has its own private hot tub in the garden. We chose Shoreline Hydrotherapy hot tubs because of their eco-friendly credentials. Not only do they have energy efficient pumps, low energy LED lighting, very high spec insulation (the covers have an R value of >20) and a heat recovery system, but they also give a carbon offset certificate for 20 years with every tub (paid by Shoreline), so you can soak with a clear conscience. They all have an easy-to-use control panel, continuous filtration, and they also all have a UV system for added protection. UV filtration means that in addition to the chemical sanitising and mechanical filters, the water also passes through a high intensity UV germicidal light ray which zaps the bugs… kind of an aquatic lightsabre!.  UV is also more environmentally-friendly as it requires lower chemical dosing than hot tubs using chemicals alone. The hot tubs also all have ozonator (which generates “energetic oxygen”, another natural purifier, which helps destroy bacteria, viruses, algae and yeasts, and helps reduce the amount of sanitiser required). We use bromine as the sanitiser. It has a number of advantages over chlorine for use in hot tubs, not least of which is that it tends to be less irritant than chlorine. We check hot tubs daily so you do not need to worry about monitoring chemical levels.
