5 Best Lodges with Hot Tubs in Cheddar (2026)

By Ben Parkin · Updated May 2026

Cheddar Gorge cuts through the Mendip Hills, with the village of Cheddar close by for walks, caves, and pubs. These are the best lodges with hot tubs in Cheddar for a short break near the gorge.

Langford Premier

Best for Family Groups

3 Beds
2 Baths

On clear days the decking looks across the Somerset countryside to Glastonbury Tor. Two king-size bedrooms and a twin give six people room to spread out, and the open-plan kitchen and dining handle full meals. The hot tub is checked by staff every day, and after a November frost they gritted the paths and roads. The one weak spot is bedroom storage. Drawers are sparse, with no chest or dressing table in the bedrooms.

The freestanding roll-top bath has its own TV. Staff check the hot tub temperature and water quality each morning, and the elevated decking with a gas BBQ looks over the Somerset hills. The master king-size has an en suite shower, and the layout works well for a quiet adult group. Phone signal is patchy at this end of the park.

The sunken hot tub on the decking is the centrepiece, checked daily by staff. The master double has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite, and the twin has single beds for younger children. Cheddar Gorge is five minutes by car, the heated pool and spa nearby cover rainy days, and the lodge sits in a quiet part of the park where rabbits and birds outnumber neighbours.

At the top of the park, the long view from the decking is what Burrington Premier sells. A king bedroom set up for two, a hot tub looking out over the valley, and very little reason to leave once you are up there. The hot tub has seats at different depths and varied jets, and the bedroom patio doors open onto the same view. It suits couples who want the view to be the main event.

Cheddar Lodge Premier WF

Best for Accessible Stays

Sleeps 4
2 Beds
2 Baths

Cheddar Lodge Premier WF is the practical pick when mobility is part of the decision, with an accessible wet room, a right-height bed and a spacious open-plan layout. Patio doors lead from the living space to a large deck with a sunken private hot tub, so it still feels like a proper hot tub break rather than only an adapted stay. Staff are helpful with access questions, so call ahead before booking to make sure the lodge suits your needs.

Where to Stay in Cheddar

Cheddar sits in the southern Mendip Hills, best known for the limestone gorge that bears its name and the cheese first made here in the twelfth century. The Mendip uplands rise around the village, with the Somerset Levels beyond and Bristol and Bath both around an hour by car.

The lodges listed here sit on the slopes above the village, so they work best for travellers who want the gorge, caves and food stops close rather than a remote countryside base. The mix runs from one-bedroom lodges with views to three-bedroom stays with more space, plus one accessible layout, so the booking decision usually comes down to group size, access needs and the view you want from the decking.

Cheddar is busiest with day-trippers from May to September. Outside those months, the rim path and village are quieter, which makes an overnight hot tub stay feel more worthwhile.

Things to Do Around Cheddar Gorge

Most quick trips sit close to Cheddar, with Bath as the longer day out. That keeps the break focused on the gorge, the village and evenings back at the lodge.

  • Cheddar Gorge rim walk - for limestone cliffs, views and a proper Mendip walk
  • Gough's Cave and Cox's Cave - the main cave stops at the gorge floor
  • Cheddar village - cheese, tearooms, pubs and an easy food stop before heading back
  • Wookey Hole - a family cave trip eight miles away
  • Brean Down - a coast-and-fort day, thirteen miles away
  • Glastonbury Tor - a hill walk fifteen miles away, with wide Somerset views
  • Wells - England's smallest city, with its Gothic cathedral
  • Bath - the longer day trip, twenty-five miles away, for Roman baths and Georgian streets
