4 Best Lodges with Hot Tubs in York (2026)

By Ben Parkin · Updated May 2026

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.

Baggergate House

Best for a City-Centre Stay
Baggergate House hot tub filled with water under glass canopy
Baggergate House Victorian terraced front with garden in sunshine
Baggergate House living room with fireplace, sofas and bay window
Sleeps 6
3 Beds
1 Bath

Ten minutes on foot from the train station, five from the city walls, and close enough to Bishopthorpe Road's delis and wine bars that you do not need a car at all. The kitchen is well equipped, with grey tiles and turquoise cupboards, and the arrival basket includes Prosecco. Robes and slippers add a useful hotel-style touch. The hot tub in the rear garden earns its keep after a full day walking York's cobbled streets. The third-floor twin bedroom has a low, sloping ceiling and short divan beds, so it suits children rather than tall adults.

Jorvik Villas

Best for Celebrations
Jorvik Villas private courtyard with barrel sauna and seating area
Jorvik Villas dining area with botanical wallpaper and glass courtyard doors
Jorvik Villas styled bedroom with floral wallpaper, chandelier and vaulted ceiling
Sleeps 14
6 Beds
6 Baths
Pet Friendly

Six individually styled bedrooms across three floors, a private sauna, and a courtyard hot tub that fits six. Four bedrooms have their own en-suite, while the two on the top floor share a large shower room. The interior leans into original features: fireplaces, a freestanding slipper bath in the master, and French doors opening from both the kitchen and dining room onto the enclosed patio. The space handles hen weekends, milestone birthdays, and multi-generational trips well, with York's centre about 15 minutes on foot. An evening hot tub curfew applies, so late-night soaks are off the table.

Copmanthorpe Hall

Best for Large Groups
Copmanthorpe Hall red brick farmhouse facade with lawn
Copmanthorpe Hall living room with fireplace, grand piano and exposed beams
Copmanthorpe Hall dining room set for 10 with cast iron range
Sleeps 12
6 Beds
6 Baths

Six bedrooms, six en-suites, so nobody queues for the bathroom in the morning. The farmhouse sits on a working farm outside Copmanthorpe village, with cows in the next field and a hot tub on the lawn, and enough garden space for football or croquet. Inside, the ground-floor super-king with a wet room suits anyone who needs level access. York is about 10 minutes by car, and the Park and Ride is nearby for hassle-free city trips. Quiet at night, with just the farm for company.

The Hayloft

Best for Families
The Hayloft shared hot tub under wooden pergola with festoon lights
The Hayloft converted 18th century brick barn exterior
The Hayloft double-height living room with exposed beam and wood burner
Sleeps 6
3 Beds
2 Baths

Converted 18th-century farm buildings around a landscaped courtyard, two miles from York city centre, with the Park and Ride walkable from the door. The stairs between floors are steep and narrow, so younger children will need a hand. Beyond that, it works well for families: a games room with a pool table, air hockey, and darts keeps teenagers occupied, and a shared BBQ area with seating opens up in summer. The hot tub and sauna are shared facilities rather than private, but there is a choice of two hot tubs on site, which gives families more flexibility.

Choosing Between City and Countryside in York

York is awkward for hot tub breaks because the city is compact, parking is tight, and many rural stays sit beyond an easy walk. The properties on this page stay closer to the action: two are walkable to York Minster, The Shambles, and the National Railway Museum, while the other two keep the city within a short drive or easy Park and Ride trip. That matters because York is a walking city. The narrow medieval streets, the riverside path along the Ouse, and the full circuit of the city walls all work better on foot than from a car park.

Larger groups have two clear routes: Copmanthorpe Hall gives you six en-suite bedrooms, farm space, and easy access back into York, while Jorvik Villas keeps celebrations walkable to the city's restaurants and bars. For smaller groups, the choice is sharper: Baggergate House is the city-centre option, while The Hayloft trades that doorstep location for a games room, shared hot tub facilities, and a quieter edge-of-town feel.

Hot Tub Breaks in York

York works year-round, which is not true of every hot tub destination. Winter brings the Christmas market, one of the largest in Europe, with stalls stretching from Parliament Street to St Nicholas Fair. The Knavesmire racecourse hosts flat racing from May through October, and the restaurants along Fossgate and Micklegate keep improving. The city walls are free to walk, and the National Railway Museum is free to visit, so even a quiet midweek break has plenty to fill it.

Summer opens up day trips beyond the city. Castle Howard is half an hour away. The North York Moors start within 40 minutes, and the coast at Scarborough and Whitby is under an hour. After a full day walking cobbled streets or hiking moorland paths, the hot tub earns its place with a long soak before dinner.
