19 Best Lodges with Hot Tubs in Lancashire (2026)

A working equestrian farm sets the scene before you even unpack. Horses graze in the paddock outside the window, lambs wander the fields in spring, and the family dogs are never far away. The stone-built cottage itself is compact and warm, with a log burner that earns its place on cooler evenings. Outside, a private courtyard holds the hot tub, sheltered enough to use comfortably year-round. Bolton-by-Bowland is a 10-minute walk for pub food, and Clitheroe is a short drive for proper shopping.

The owners have thought of everything here, right down to welcome packs with milk and extras you would normally have to bring yourself. The lodge is modern and well-equipped, with a super-king bed and a bathroom that has both a bath and a separate shower. Out the back, the patio hot tub comes alive after dark with evening lighting that turns a soak into something worth lingering over. A bus stop sits right outside the door, running direct to Blackpool and Knott End, so you can leave the car behind for a day on the coast.

A wooden bridge crosses a brook to reach this cabin, and from there, you are on your own. Deer appear on the slope opposite at dusk. Pheasants amble through the clearing. A bold squirrel taps at the window, looking for treats. Inside is simple and compact, with a woodburning stove, a small kitchen, and patio doors onto the wraparound decking. The hot tub sits under some of the darkest skies in Lancashire, right on the edge of the Forest of Bowland AONB. On clear nights, you can pick out meteor showers without moving. The double bed is on the small side, worth knowing if you are tall.

The hot tub here is wood-fired, not electric, so plan three hours to heat it on first use. No jets, no bubbles, just still water and panoramic views across Pendle's hilltops. That slower pace suits the rest of the place. Inside, an A-framed super-king bedroom sits under Velux windows with a freestanding roll-top bath at the foot of the bed. The wet room has twin basins and a walk-in rain shower. Downstairs, a woodburning stove anchors the ground floor. Barn owls hunt the fields at dusk, and the owners are next door if you need anything, but otherwise leave you to it.

A welcome hamper, bathrobes and towels by the hot tub, and flip-flops for the walk across the garden are all ready on arrival. The hot tub itself is undercover, so rain does not cut an evening short. Church bells from next door mark the hours while you soak. Inside, a woodburning stove warms the main living area, and there is a mini pool table and dart board to keep older children busy. The garden is fully enclosed and secure for dogs. Walk the coastal path from the door to Knott End, grab lunch, and catch the bus back.

Robes, slip-on shoes, and dedicated towels come with the hot tub, which is covered, so it works whatever the weather. That level of detail runs through the whole cottage: exposed stone walls, beams, a woodburning stove, and a kitchen stocked well beyond the usual holiday cottage standard. The rear garden is large, fully fenced, and has outdoor ping pong alongside a BBQ under the covered patio. Pilling is quiet, properly rural Lancashire, with coast and Lancaster both within easy reach.

Thirteen people, a mezzanine games room with a pool table and air hockey, an astro-turf basketball court, and a hot tub ready at temperature when you walk through the door. The owners run the farm next door and will let children meet the horses and chickens. The kitchen has double ovens and pans big enough for group cooking, and the bedrooms sit away from the main living space so early risers and late-night pool players do not clash. The balcony railing has a gap at the bottom, and the garden gate does not lock, so it's worth checking if you are bringing toddlers.

Sykes Gem Awards 2024 Gold winner for Best in North West England, and the standard matches it. The hot tub is spring-fed and heated around the clock, paired with a fire pit kit so you can have flames going while you soak. Host Diane leaves homemade cakes on arrival, plus robes and slippers for the hot tub. Adults only, set on a working farm in Cockerham, where llamas, alpacas, and cows are your nearest neighbours. The pod is compact but well thought out, with a power shower and a skylight above the bed for watching the stars at night.

The 75-inch TV, Nespresso machine, Hotel Chocolat velvetiser, and Bluetooth ceiling speakers set the tech spec higher than most lodges manage. Outside, the hot tub looks across a private lake where ducks and ducklings paddle past each morning, and Roxy the resident dog drops by to say hello. Everything is ground floor, modern, and immaculately clean. Garstang and the Forest of Bowland are close by car, though the lakeside setting is quiet enough that an evening by the water beats a night out. The heating system has been slow to kick in on first days in the past, so it's worth confirming before you arrive.

The 18-seat outdoor Vitality Spa is one of the largest in the UK, and there is a separate hot tub and sauna alongside it. Add a cinema room, a dedicated games space with pool, air hockey, arcade machine, and driving simulator, a grand piano in the lounge, and grounds large enough to host a wedding, and you have a venue that handles 27 without running out of things to do. The spa seats 18, so nobody waits for a turn. There is a restricted check-in schedule and a refundable bond, so read the small print before confirming.

Panoramic views stretch across the Pendle and Yorkshire border from a raised position above Earby, and you take them in from a wood-fired Scandinavian hot tub in an adjoining hut. You light the fire yourself, which becomes part of the ritual rather than a chore. Festoon lighting and a fire pit make the outdoor space feel designed rather than thrown together. Inside, the shepherd's hut is compact but considered: woodburning stove, induction hob, and a pocket-sprung double that sleeps better than most hotel beds. Adults only, four-night maximum.

Single-storey layout with two en-suite bedrooms, which keeps things simple and avoids the usual holiday cottage stair shuffle. The Ribble Valley view from the living room carries through to the hot tub on the patio, so the scenery follows you outside. Robes, slippers, and separate hot tub towels are provided, small touches that make the transition from sofa to soak feel effortless. The L-shaped sofa is tight for four adults, and the twin beds run narrow, so this works better as a couples retreat than a family stay.

The welcome hamper is unusually generous, stocked well beyond the standard bottle and biscuits. The hot tub is maintained daily, so it is always clean and ready when you want it. Inside, the rooms are large, tastefully decorated, and genuinely comfortable for eight. A conservatory with tree lights makes a good evening spot when the weather turns, and the jacuzzi bath upstairs gives you a second option when the hot tub queue gets long. Cleveleys seafront is walkable, Blackpool is ten miles south, and Hickory's is nearby for an easy dinner out.

The dog amenities here go further than most: a warm outdoor hose for muddy paws, dedicated dog towels, and an enclosed rear garden so your dog can be out while you are in the hot tub. The hot tub is genuinely oversized, kept at 38 degrees and ready on arrival. The cottage itself is 300 years old, renovated to a high standard with a woodburning stove and comfortable beds. The Ship Inn sits directly across the road, does proper pub food, and is dog-friendly. The owner provides local walking routes and restaurant tips before you even ask.

Everything is on one level, with en-suites in two of the four bedrooms and a freestanding bath in the main bathroom, which makes this genuinely workable for mixed-mobility groups. The lodge sits on a private gated site in Wennington, with a hot tub, fire pit, and Weber BBQ on the enclosed patio. A 75-inch TV anchors the open-plan living space, so film nights are sorted. M&S welcome touches and Christmas hampers for winter stays are a nice detail. The Lune Valley setting puts Kirkby Lonsdale and the Lake District within easy reach.

Lancashire's only Visit England Rose Award winner in 2024, and a finalist in the Lancashire Tourism Awards 2026. The standard is obvious from the moment you arrive: six super-king bedrooms, far-reaching Ribble Valley views from every room, and a games room loaded with snooker, football table, darts, and bean bags big enough to disappear into. Host Liz is responsive without hovering. The hot tub has a covered roof and direct indoor access to a wet room, so nobody tracks water through the house. Chipping is walkable for pubs and Brabin's, officially Britain's oldest continuously trading shop.

Five bedrooms, four with en-suites, and a ground-floor room for anyone who struggles with stairs. The external games room has a pool table, darts, and its own bar, which means the late-night crowd stays separate from the sleeping crowd. Views from the hot tub stretch across Pendle Hill and the Ribble Valley to the Yorkshire Three Peaks on clear days. Walk the Ribble Way to the Spread Eagle pub in Sawley for lunch and earn that second session in the hot tub on the way back. The owners are hands-on and respond quickly when anything needs sorting. Bring your own bath towels.

Cinema room, sauna, outdoor shower, and a games cabin with its own bar, jukebox, two pool tables, table tennis, and table football. The hot tub is log-fired, set on the patio with the sauna alongside it, and on cold evenings, the combination of hot water, cold air, and open sky is hard to leave. The grounds include a full tennis court, a children's play area, chickens that lay fresh eggs, and seasonal fruit and vegetables you can pick and cook. Fence village has a Michelin-starred restaurant within walking distance. Manager Leanne arranges decorations for birthdays and celebrations before you arrive, and 15 people will not feel squeezed.

Hen weekends, milestone birthdays, and family reunions all work here, and the space is bigger than the photos suggest. Owner Naima leaves wine, fizz, dog treats, and dedicated hot tub towels. The garden is massive, fenced on all sides, and safe for up to four dogs. Blackpool is 25 minutes away for the Pleasure Beach and Sandcastle Waterpark. Exposed brick, beams, and an AGA give the barn real character. The hot tub is ready when you get back from a day on the coast, and 11 people will not feel on top of each other.
