Can't they just shag in a bed? Someone else has to use that hot tub the next day.

Shagged in it I expect. I don't care at all, I just wanted to introduce some smut to the thread at an early stage.

Why?

Thanks anyway but your as much help as an ingrown hair follicle next to the anus.

If you want to some smut I can tell you they've been shagging for the last 12 years, so shagging in the tub is probably not on the list of priorities (anymore)

What on earth do they want the tub for? Enormous cheese fondue? 😐

Good looking call Somafunk, I'll pass that on.

No idea, maybe sit in it with a drink & watch the stars/clouds/rain on their budget honeymoon?

Why is this forum such ****ing hard work sometimes???

Well there is no point in having a hot tub unless it's swimming with dubious fluids.

Funnily enough when we got married 11 years ago we had a minimoon in those neck of the woods.

Stayed at Slaley Hall, went quad biking, landrovering and buggy driving.

Highlight for Mrs_s was a trip to Diggerland. She's a lucky lady.

Yeah sorry EGF, sometimes I forget that people use the forum to ask serious questions.

How about the posh camping pods at the golf course at North Ballachulish? They've got hot tubs (which, believe it or not, get emptied, cleaned and refilled each day).

I googled "couples cottaging" and now have no doubts that they will have a memorable honeymoon.

No probs, sorry I took off on one (but theyr'e in their 30's & have been shagging long enough already)
I'd reccommend somewhere like Ballachulish but he doesn't want to drive more than around 3 hours, which is a shame cos that part of Scotland's me & Mrs Egf's fave!

I know, he'd probably be able to see [i]that[/i] house from there. Pity, it's worth the extra hour I reckon.

Stop it, I'll cry. ( I LOVE that house, & will see it again in May. Won't be in it, but I'll see it)

Portpatrick is lovely TJ. We were there last September.

Laggan's a great shout - they've literally just opened it (and have spent a FORTUNE on the place) and it looks superb.

Pretty part of the area down there too - spot on for a few days away.

Skipton is ideal for access to the Dales

I thought the OP didn't want smut in the thread!

Although he's in denial about the hot tub usage.

@esselgruntfuttuck. They are! We've stayed at Keldy (the one near Pickering) a few times including over Christmas this year. We've been to both the Scottish ones, and the Cornwall one. They are great. Fit in with walking, running, biking and dogs. So great for us.
