Glamping with hot tubs
There’s something ancient and luxurious about sinking into warm water under an open sky. Our collection of glamping places with hot tubs stretches across the UK, from steaming tubs in wildflower meadows to wood-fired barrels tucked beneath oak canopies, all designed to help you relax and reset.
Hot tubs have become the heart of a great glamping getaway, and for good reason. They’re perfect for a romantic escape, a wellness weekend, or a long, social soak with friends. Think of it as nature’s take on the spa experience, just with better views and starlit skies.

We inspect every place in our collection
We don’t trust glossy photos of a hot tub that may or may not bubble. We get in. Literally. When we inspect a space, we check all the things you’d want to know when booking a hot tub getaway, like how long it takes to heat, whether the view is as good from the water as it looks online, and how many stars you can see from the steam.
We also stay overnight to make sure the rest of the experience lives up to that first dip. It’s all part of checking that every hot tub break in our collection delivers the full experience you’ve been dreaming of.

Hot tub FAQs
Are hot tubs safe for pregnant guests/young children?
Hot tubs are best avoided in early pregnancy due to higher water temperatures. Kids under 5 are generally not advised in tubs either, due to safety concerns and heat exposure.
How hot should a hot tub be?
The ideal hot tub is about 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit). Most hot tubs have a thermometer bobbing around in them so you can check the progress. Remember to stir! The rising heat can fool you into thinking it's hot all the way down. Then when you jump in and mix the hotter surface water with the colder depths, you've got a lukewarm tub.
Are there any health benefits to hot tubs?
Warm water can relieve muscle tension and stress, lower blood pressure, improve circulation and induce a solid night's sleep. When you combine this with glamping outdoors and connecting with nature, the benefits can be immense. (Pro tip: individuals with circulatory or respiratory issues should check with a health provider first to ensure the heat and steam don't pose a hazard.)
How long does a wood-fired hot tub take to heat up?
This depends on the burner and tub size, but typically around 1.5 - 3 hours, depending on weather and water temperature, so make sure you fire it up in good time before you're planning to take a dip. Lots of our owners offer to heat the hot tub up for you while you're travelling to the glamping space, so it's ready for you to hop in on arrival.
How long should you soak in a hot tub?
Most hot tub aficionados agree that 15 - 30 minutes is the sweet spot, with long enough to let your muscles unwind and your mind drift, without leaving you feeling like a boiled lobster. Listen to your body, sip some water, and remember, you can always get back in later.
