A woodland nest for two

In Devon's tranquil woodlands, you’ll discover The Bird Box, a two-storey cabin designed as the perfect nest for lovebirds seeking seclusion or an unusual glamping stay. It features a Canadian cedarwood hot tub, set into a private deck and surrounded by softly lit trees, offering an intimate soak under the stars. 

You’ll find it hard to drag yourself away from the king-sized bed on the top floor, adorned with plush cushions and fur throws. French windows open to woodland views and the river down below, perfect for sipping coffee amidst nature. Pop out for a cream tea in nearby Okehampton or surprise your partner with an in-cabin massage. Whether debating scone etiquette or unwinding in the tub, this retreat ensures a stay to remember.

Hansel at Hinterlandes, Cumbria

Fairytale cabin for two

Tucked beneath ancient woodland in the Cumbrian mountains, Hansel is a cosy escape that dials up the romance. Soak in the wood-fired hot tub, perfectly positioned for ultimate nature immersion on the deck for a magical experience. 

Spend your days wild swimming and hiking, then return and make the most of barbecuing by the firepit. A favourite for celebrating mini moons, order the Date Night Box, full of local cheeses, prosecco to toast with and locally brewed IPA ales. This cabin is all about the candlelit date night dinners and proves that simplicity can be the most luxurious indulgence of all.

St Agnes, Cornwall

Stargazing from your own meadow

For couples who like their romantic escapes with a little personality, St Agnes is hard to beat. Hidden in its own wild meadow beyond an old church gate, this beautifully converted tin tabernacle feels wonderfully secluded, with fresh flowers and a wood-fired hot tub waiting on arrival. As darkness falls, the private slate deck becomes the perfect place to settle in for an evening of stargazing beneath some of the clearest skies in the country.

Inside, Scandinavian simplicity meets vintage charm, with stained glass above the bed and thoughtful details scattered throughout the space. Spend your days exploring Cornwall's beaches and villages, then return to light the hobbit stove, pour another glass of wine and climb into the hot tub as the stars begin to appear overhead.

"Me and my boyfriend stayed here for our first getaway together and we absolutely loved it, it was perfect for a relaxed getaway...

...there was a bottle of ale, bottle of cider and biscuits with a card left for us which were a lovely touch. Perfect place to stay to relax and switch off for a few days! We will definitely be back!! - Gemma, a guest at St Agnes

Ty Bach Bothy, Powys

Off-grid romance by the stream

On a Welsh farm beside a gentle stream, Ty Bach Bothy is a little love nest made for true romantics. Off-grid and utterly charming, it offers candlelit evenings, star-dappled skies, and a wood-fired hot tub for soaking in the stillness. The interior blends whitewashed walls and exposed beams with a cosy wood burner. 

You’ll find thoughtful extras too, like organic eggs, Black Mountains coffee, and even Hereford Tanners cava in your welcome pack. Pick up ingredients from Hay-on-Wye’s delis or cook local lamb that you can order from hosts over the firepit. Days are for exploring nearby wildflower hills or just dipping toes in the stream. Unplugged, peaceful and completely private, Ty Bach is the kind of place where special occasions are given the celebration they deserve.

Vineyard Cabin Retreat, Norfolk

Romantic stay among the vines

Romance and vineyards have always made excellent companions, and this Norfolk cabin delivers both in abundance. Overlooking rows of vines on a working vineyard just minutes from the coast, Vineyard Cabin Retreat feels tailor-made for anniversaries, birthdays and romantic weekends away. As the sun sinks behind the vines, the wood-fired hot tub becomes the best seat in the house, with uninterrupted countryside views and starry skies overhead.

The cabin's hosts have clearly thought about special occasions too. Celebration packages can be arranged before arrival, while pizza oven hire makes date night wonderfully easy. Spend the day exploring the coast, then return for wine, a crackling firepit and an evening soak overlooking the vineyard. It's hard to imagine a more romantic way to slow down together.

The Wagon Above The World, Herefordshire

A romantic spot on top of the world

Sweeping views are good for the soul and this one is epic. Perched nearly 1,000 feet above sea level, The Wagon offers panoramic views of the Black Mountains, with the Brecon Beacons in one direction and the Wye Valley in the other. Any recent stress will drift away on the breeze as you sit steaming away in the private wood-fired hot tub, toasting to your special occasion in your romantic spot on top of the world.  

Inside, The Wagon is cosy but deceptively spacious with glamorous touches that complement its classic vintage vibe with modern comforts. Cuddle up under warm woollen blankets in front of the wood burner, put a 78 on the retro record player and set out on a nostalgic journey through the musical ages together.

Carswell Beach Hut, Devon

Your own private seaside hideaway

Some romantic escapes offer sea views. Carswell Beach Hut gives you an entire private cove. Hidden above its own stretch of sand on the Devon coast, this remarkable beach cabin feels wonderfully removed from everyday life. Days are spent sea swimming, snoozing in hammocks and rinsing salty skin beneath the outdoor shower before slipping into the wood-fired hot tub with a glass of something chilled.

As evening arrives, dinner becomes an event in itself. Order one of the farm's generous hampers, eat outside as the sun drops into the sea and then settle into the hot tub for some serious star spotting. With waves providing the soundtrack and nobody else around, this is the kind of place that was practically made for honeymoons, anniversaries and romantic celebrations.

Green Retreat, Powys

Lakeside seclusion for two

Hidden deep in the Mid Wales countryside, Green Retreat offers the sort of privacy that makes the rest of the world feel wonderfully far away. Surrounded by pine trees and overlooking its own peaceful lake, this cabin was made for couples who prefer quiet evenings, beautiful landscapes and the kind of conversations that only seem to happen when nobody is checking the time.

The wood-fired hot tub sits on the deck with uninterrupted views across the water, making sunset soaks particularly magical. Spend the day exploring Hafren Forest's waterfalls and woodland trails before returning to your welcome hamper, lighting the firepit and watching the stars emerge above the lake.

Your guide to a romantic glamping stay with a hot tub

Here are a few ways to make your romantic glamping break with a hot tub unforgettable:

  • Choose your perfect setting – from woodland treehouses to coastal cabins, the right backdrop really sets the tone for your special escape. If woodland retreat is your vibe, then why not choose a treehouse stay under the canopy where fairy lights twinkle between branches. If you and your partner prefer seaside adventuring, pick a cabin by the coast where you can watch the sunset together before slipping into the tub. If views matter most, a hilltop hideaway with sweeping panoramas makes every soak feel extra special.
  • Add thoughtful extras – It’s often the little touches that make the biggest impression. Surprise your partner with an in-cabin massage, order a locally sourced hamper packed with treats, or bring along a favourite bottle of bubbles to pop once you’re settled in the hot tub. Personalising your stay creates memories that feel unique to you both.
  • Think seasonal – Hot tubs are magical all year round. In autumn and winter, there’s nothing more romantic than stargazing together as steam rises into the cold night air, wrapped up in robes before heading inside to a crackling fire. In spring, the setting feels fresh and alive with birdsong and blossom. And in summer, the romance lies in lingering soaks long into the light evenings, watching the sky fade from gold to pink, or taking a dip together after a day of exploring.
