Enjoy a hot tub holiday whatever the weather
A special experience in every season
Summer hot tub holidays
Refresh and reconnect with the forest in full bloom. Jump on bikes and explore acres of woodland. Then fire up the barbecue and hop in your bubbling hot tub, surrounded by sun-dappled trees. Real natural wonder, real Forest Feeling.
Autumn hot tub breaks
As the forest’s colours change, take time to refresh amongst the fresh breeze and rustling trees. Hit the pause button and treat yourself to an in-cabin spa. Then sink into your hot tub and… breathe.
Hot tub breaks in winter
Step into a picture-perfect winter scene. Snowfall around the hot tub, and walks through the frost-tipped trees. Take a nighttime walk with your Forest Ranger, or settle into your cosy cabin for your very own forest spa.
Spring hot tub stays
As the forest springs to life, take a front-row seat in your hot tub. Enjoy misty mornings surrounded by birdsong. Days outdoors taking aim with archery and air rifle shooting. Then settle in for crisp evenings under the stars.
Health benefits of a hot tub holiday
More than just a bubbly treat
There’s so much to gain from time in the tub; from stress relief and muscle relaxation to improved sleep. After a day of discovery in the forest, slip into your hot tub and relax amongst birdsong and breath-taking views. It’s that extra dose of Forest Feeling that makes the difference. Why not create your own forest spa? Unwind with a treatment in the comfort of your cabin. We promise, it feels even better amongst the forest. Psst... looking for holiday cottages with hot tubs? Our Golden Oak Cottage at Keldy, North Yorkshire has a private sauna too!
Accessible hot tub lodges
Cabins with a little extra support
The forest is for everyone - so we offer extra support to give you a stress-free break in nature. A Silver Birch Wheelchair-adapted hot tub cabin is waiting for you at every one of our 13 locations. Adapted facilities give easy access to the bathroom, bedrooms and hot tub, so you can enjoy a comfortable stay.
To make things even easier, our cabin is always close to the Forest Retreat, with space for two cars just outside. And don’t forget… our accessible cabins are pet-friendly too!
Hot tub safety
Some handy guidelines for enjoying the hot tub safely
First of all, while furry friends are more than welcome here, we ask that they never join you in the hot tub! Let them relax on the decking while you enjoy it all to yourself instead. For safety reasons, children under 4 need to stay clear of the tub too.
No glass please — but you’ll see we’ve provided plastic glasses if you fancy a tipple in the tub. Don’t forget to remove all jewellery before hopping in too.
We clean the hot tubs regularly, but please remember to have a nice warm shower before and after. When you open the cover, don’t remove the cover lifter (this keeps the cover clean!). And be sure to cover it up again when you’re done, so woodland critters don’t get any ideas…
Finally, the decking gets slippery when wet — so go slow, don’t run and make sure to wear appropriate footwear. For more information on hot tub safety, have a chat with a friendly team member during your stay.
Frequently asked questions
Is the hot tub private or shared?
All hot tubs are situated on your own private decking area outside your cabin, for your use only. Sit back and relax as you enjoy views into the forest, stargaze the night sky or listen out for the wildlife around you.
Can you get in the hot tub whilst pregnant?
We recommend speaking to your midwife or healthcare professional.

How frequently are the hot tubs cleaned?
Our hot tubs are cleaned daily, and we follow guidance from The British and Irish Spa Hot Tub Association (BISHTA). You might see our team on your decking when they carry out daily checks. This is to ensure your hot tub is sanitised effectively.
Can the temperature of the hot tubs be adjusted?
Your hot tub is set at a fixed temperature so that the chemicals remain effective and water quality is maintained. Your hot tub is checked daily by our location team who will check the level of chemicals and water quality is safe for use.
If you are concerned about using your hot tub with a medical condition, please consult your GP or health professional.
