UK Holiday Lodges with Hot Tubs - Any experience/recommendations?

[FinglisHobbit]

Hi folks,

As title really.

Looking to spend a couple of days in a lodge somewhere in the UK (Lake District, Yorkshire maybe?), but requirements are that we can take our dog, and also that the place has a hot tub for us to chill out and look at the stars.

Just been trawling a few websites and the majority are all pretty crap to navigate and seem dated. However I guess its because they are often independent amateur websites.

Would appreciate anyones experiences or input. Thankyou

My recommendation is not to use the hot tub - breeding ground for bacteria.

I don't think you're allowed to take dogs into Hot Tubs sorry.

I found this

There is also one at Kielder halfway up a hillside situated on its own with a hot tub that overlooks Kielder water, but I cant for the life of me find it again.... might be worth a search.

I've used Forest Holidays a few times and its been great. We go to Cornwall in Deer Park. No phone signal and no internet, just a hot tub, cabin in the woods and a log burner. Great to get away from it all.

Sitting in a hot tub with a glass of wine while it's snowing is pretty cool, until you need to get out

Also they can sometimes be time machines.

We had a lodge and a hot tub at Centre Parks earlier in the summer, it was lovely.

Only if its badly maintained.

Hi guys, Thanks for the input. Some good links given.

I'm not looking at the Forest Holidays ones and the prices seem reasonable for the facilities they seem to provide.

Think Im going to look into their Yorkshire ones. Keldy/Cropton.

3 miles from Bowness, a mix of static caravans and lodges, take dogs and some have hot tubs

With a bit of a google you can rent from the privately owned ones direct for some decent savings

Forest Holidays always have some offers on.

I can't imagine anything grosser than a shared hot tub. There'll be loads of barteria. Pubes. Love juice. Grim!

Id like to think they clean them between occupancies.

If not, then yeah, I might spew lol.

Hot Tubs are like swimming pools. As long as they are maintained and by that I mean correctly chemically dosed and cleaned, then they are fine but smaller amounts of water are harder to keep balanced.

Some of the stuff I use to fish out of the filters in our local leisure centre pools would make you go WTF!

We stayed here in May, hot tub was awesome. Take the temp down a bit and you can sit in there for hours with an ice bucket of beers.

May be others on that site in the regions you're looking at.
