14 Best Lodges with Hot Tubs in Staffordshire (2026)

The suspended woodburning stove in the middle of the living space is the kind of design choice that makes you stop in the doorway. Stone floors with underfloor heating run throughout, and the open-plan kitchen has enough room to cook properly for six. Outside, the enclosed garden holds a large hot tub that stays warm around the clock, and the sky is dark enough to see stars from the hot tub. Two pubs are within walking distance, one of them serving food inside converted Pullman train carriages. The owners greet you on arrival with prosecco, cupcakes, and a tour of the property.

The wallabies come out before breakfast, the Highland cows take feed after lunch, and the sauna and hot tub fill the gap before dinner. Parlour Barn earned Sykes Gold in 2025 for Best Hot Tub Property, and the countryside views from the hot tub explain why. The games shack has pool, air hockey, table tennis, an arcade machine, and a karaoke setup, all under a Wild West theme that somehow works. Three bedrooms sit on the ground floor, so the main living space upstairs catches the evening light through large windows. The wood burner and heated garden hut cover the colder months.

Clear nights in the wood-fired hot tub mean shooting stars over Blithfield Reservoir with nobody else around. This shepherd's hut sits in open countryside near Rugeley, with no WiFi and almost no sound. The roll-top bath on the second floor looks out across fields, and the kitchen is simple but enough for two. Two resident cats tend to visit during your stay. Firewood for the first hot tub session comes included, with extra available if you want a second round. A flawless track record, and that is rare at any price.

The finish inside this barn is high enough to explain the repeat bookings. Underfloor heating, a log burner, and two bedrooms each with their own en-suite shower room make it a proper small-group escape. The hot tub in the rear garden is sheltered and private, strung with outdoor lights that come alive after dark. Prosecco and chocolates wait on arrival. The village of Marchington is quiet, and both Alton Towers and the Peak District are under 30 minutes by car.

Rudyard Lake is a five-minute walk from the front door, with boating, a steam railway, and a circular lakeside trail that dogs love. The lodge itself has three bedrooms, underfloor heating throughout, and an enclosed garden that backs onto a communal field for longer runs. A six-person hot tub on the side decking stays clean and warm because the owner checks it daily. The Rudyard Hotel pub is three minutes away and does a solid Sunday carvery. Between the garden, the field, and the lakeside trails, dogs have as much to do here as the people.

Pheasants cross the garden in the morning, cows graze in the fields behind, and rabbits appear at dusk. The hot tub faces all of this, enclosed and private. The Hen House is a converted barn on the Staffordshire Way footpath, so Cannock Chase walks start from the door. Inside, a wood burner and underfloor heating keep things warm, and the farmhouse kitchen includes a wine cooler. The space is cosy rather than spacious, and the sofa seats three. For a couple or a young family who spend most of the day outside, it works well.

The Horns Inn is close enough to walk to for dinner, and the food is worth more than one visit. This studio apartment on the outskirts of Rugeley packs a king bed, a full kitchen, and a hot tub into a single-storey layout with countryside views from the terrace. Cannock Chase is on the doorstep for walking and cycling, with the heritage trail behind the pub running into Rugeley itself. Complimentary toiletries, drinks, and chocolate bars sit waiting on arrival. The hot tub faces open fields, and the owner adjusts the temperature without being asked if the weather turns hot.

The freestanding bath in the master bedroom overlooks Rudyard Lake, and the view is the kind that stops you mid-sentence. The rest of the property keeps that standard: a wood burner in the sitting room, welcome prosecco, and a hot tub large enough to stretch out in with four people. The lakeside location puts walking and boating within minutes. Three bedrooms across two floors give everyone space, and ground-floor twins work for those who prefer not to use stairs. The path down from the car park is steep and gravel-surfaced, worth knowing before you book.

Jenkins the ginger cat tends to turn up most mornings and sit with you while you have coffee. Acorn Lodge is a barn conversion in Milwich, five miles from Stafford, with countryside views and a log-fuelled hot tub fitted with jets and colour-changing LEDs. The hot tub takes about two hours to heat, which most people treat as the first evening's warm-up activity. Inside, the log burner handles cold evenings while heated floors take care of the rest, and two king bedrooms with separate shower rooms mean no morning queues. The owner is responsive, and the welcome pack is generous.

The hot tub is covered and the balcony floor underneath is heated, so you walk out barefoot in December and never feel the cold. Watersview sits in the Rudyard complex near Leek. The lake is walkable for morning strolls, with paddle boarding and a miniature steam railway nearby. Three bedrooms serve families or friends, and the enclosed garden gives dogs their own space. The road in is rough and muddy, so expect that on arrival.

The dining table seats the whole group at once, which is the thing that large holiday lets almost always get wrong. Lee House is an eight-bedroom barn conversion in Cheddleton, near Leek, with a separate Ostler's Cottage next door for anyone who wants their own front door. Children head straight for the donkeys and chickens on the working farm. A hot tub with Bluetooth speakers sits in the garden and is cleaned twice a day. Two wood burners and an AGA in the kitchen anchor the communal spaces, and the surrounding countryside has enough walking to fill a week without needing to plan.

You cross a boardwalk over Rudyard Lake to reach the front door of a converted boathouse. The ground-floor bedroom sits at water level, with wooden panelling and sandstone windows giving it the feel of a ship's cabin. Upstairs, the living space opens onto a balcony where morning coffee comes with lake views and silence. A hot tub sits on the shore, and the woodland garden has space for barbecues. Low ceilings and a steep staircase add to the character but limit headroom. The adjacent Sheiling can be booked alongside for groups of up to 10.

Rain or shine, the hot tub works because it is inside a conservatory rather than out in the weather. Tixall Manor Farm sits four miles from Stafford with views over Cannock Chase, and the indoor setup is what sets it apart from every outdoor-only option on this page. Four bedrooms sleep up to 10, with a ground-floor single for anyone who needs it. The garden is enclosed and big enough for dogs to run laps. The kitchen could use more pans for cooking at full capacity, but recent stays show the property improving steadily.

Far Coley Farm puts a farmhouse and a log cabin on the same grounds, with two lakes, far-reaching views, and enough beds for 16. Groups who want two buildings instead of one big house will find the setup works well. The conservatory seats everyone for meals, and the kitchen copes with cooking for 12 to 14. A wood-fired hot tub sits in the side garden, though heating it takes real effort, so plan ahead on your first evening. Sunsets from the paddock are worth a barbecue. Living space inside the farmhouse runs tight once numbers go above 12, which is the trade-off for having this much outdoor space.
