Best Lodges with Hot Tubs in the UK
A lodge with a hot tub is one of the most popular ways to get away in the UK, and for good reason. You get the privacy of your own space, the comfort of a well-kitted-out kitchen and living area, and the luxury of stepping outside into warm water after a day of exploring.
We've spent months researching lodges across the country, from the Lake District to the Cornish coast. Every property on our lists has been selected based on genuine guest reviews, the quality of the hot tub setup, overall value and the surrounding area. No filler, no sponsored placements.
Below you'll find curated lists for some of our favourite locations across the UK, with more being added regularly. Each guide features our top picks with honest mini-reviews, key features and direct booking links.

19 lodges →East
Norfolk
A Norfolk hot tub break works best when the setting does some of the work: dark Broads skies, quiet beaches, marshland views, and villages where evenings slow down properly. These 20 lodges with hot tubs in Norfolk range from clifftop stays near Cart Gap to Broads barns, coastal cottages, and larger farmhouses around Heacham, Dersingham, and King's Lynn.

These 14 lodges with hot tubs in Suffolk stretch from Newbourne near Woodbridge to Wangford near Southwold, covering converted barns, working farms with highland cattle, lakeside glamping, accessible pods, and a 12-person hot tub big enough for the whole group.
14 lodges →Yorkshire
Scarborough
Fish and chips on the seafront, a walk along the Cleveland Way, then back to a private hot tub as the sun drops. These 15 lodges with hot tubs in Scarborough cover barn conversions for two up on the moors, family cottages, and group houses right in town.
15 lodges →York
York is one of the few cities where you can walk the medieval walls in the morning and soak in a hot tub by evening without getting in a car. These four lodges with hot tubs in York range from a terraced cottage inside the city walls to a farmhouse ten minutes out, with prices starting from £747.

Cannock Chase in the south, Rudyard Lake and the Peak District fringe in the north, and Alton Towers in between give Staffordshire a strong mix of walks, lake days, and family attractions. The 14 lodges with hot tubs in Staffordshire below include wood-fired setups in open countryside, a conservatory hot tub you can use in the rain, and covered decking with heated flooring for barefoot winter soaks.
14 lodges →East Midlands
Nottinghamshire
A tractor-trailer ride through ancient woodland, then back to a hot tub with no streetlights for miles is the sort of stay Nottinghamshire does well. These seven lodges with hot tubs in Nottinghamshire range from shepherd's huts near Retford to farmhouses outside Newark, with Sherwood Forest and Southwell close enough for easy days out.
7 lodges →Leicestershire
Leicestershire sits between the Cotswolds crowd and the Peak District rush, which means quieter lanes, lower prices, and more hot tub availability than either. These five lodges with hot tubs in Leicestershire spread from Rutland Water's eastern border to the National Forest fringe, covering pie-town Melton Mowbray and the Foxton Locks towpath along the way.
5 lodges →South East
Oxfordshire
Honey-stone villages, wood-fired hot tubs, and the Cotswolds without the Bourton-on-the-Water crowds. These eight lodges with hot tubs in Oxfordshire range from lakeside glamping studios for two near Banbury to a seven-bedroom Cotswold stone barn that sleeps 14.

13 lodges →What to Look for in a Lodge with a Hot Tub
Not all hot tub lodges are created equal. The difference between a great stay and a disappointing one often comes down to a few details: is the tub private or shared? Is it maintained well? Does the lodge itself match the quality, or is it a basic cabin with a hot tub bolted on?
We look at the full picture when selecting properties for our lists. The hot tub matters, obviously, but so does the kitchen, the sleeping arrangements, parking, WiFi and the overall feel of the place. A lodge should be somewhere you genuinely want to spend time, not just a backdrop for a hot tub.
Best Time to Book a Hot Tub Lodge
Hot tub lodges are in demand year-round, but autumn and winter are peak season: there's something about sitting in hot water when the air is cold. If you're flexible, midweek stays in spring and early summer offer the best value and availability.
Booking 6 to 8 weeks ahead is usually enough for most locations. For popular spots like the Lake District or Cotswolds during school holidays, you'll want to book 3 months or more in advance.
