Lodges with Hot Tubs in the Cotswolds

Things to do whilst on a getaway to the Cotswolds

You'll definitely want to head out and explore a few of the local hubs before you settle back into the lodge for the night.

• Visit the iconic villages You've got to stop in Bourton-on-the-Water to see the little bridges over the river, or head to Chipping Campden for that classic high street look. They're both great for a slow afternoon of window shopping and a bit of people-watching.
• Get out into the fresh air If you want to stand at the highest point in the range, head up to Cleeve Hill for some massive views. For something a bit flatter, the Cotswold Water Park near Cirencester has some great lakeside trails and plenty of water-based activities.
• See the local wildlife The Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens is a fantastic day out. It's not every day you get to see rhinos and giraffes wandering around a traditional English parkland setting, and the gardens there are just as impressive as the animals.
• Hit the market towns Spend a bit of time in Cheltenham if you're in the mood for some sophisticated shopping and decent restaurants. Alternatively, the weekly markets in Moreton-in-Marsh are a great shout for picking up local crafts and bits of food to take back to the lodge.
• Soak up some history: You're right in the heart of some serious heritage. You can visit the massive Blenheim Palace or hunt for Roman ruins around Cirencester and the surrounding Gloucestershire countryside.

Whether you're planning on walking the trails until your boots are muddy or you just want to spend the whole week testing out the local tea rooms, the Cotswolds is a fantastic place to just stop for a bit.

Why the Cotswolds is great for a hot tub escape

There's a reason this is one of the most famous parts of the country for a relaxing trip. It's less about high-adrenaline adventure and more about leaning into a slower, more relaxed way of spending your time.

• That famous limestone backdrop The local stone gives the buildings a really warm, distinctive look. It makes for a very scenic environment for a holiday, especially when you're tucked away in a quiet valley or on the edge of a village.
• Foodie heaven on your doorstep This part of the country is packed with top-notch farm shops and traditional gastropubs. You can spend your morning picking up some local treats and your afternoon enjoying them back at the lodge between dips in the tub.
• Miles of easy-going trails If you like a walk but don't want to spend all day climbing vertical cliffs, the Cotswold Way is perfect. You get those big, rolling-hill views without the exhausting trek, which makes the evening soak feel like a proper luxury.
• Quiet and protected landscapes Because it's a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you aren't going to be bothered by much noise.
• Beautiful gardens everywhere: The area is famous for its world-class arboretums and manicured estates. It adds to that peaceful, green atmosphere that makes it so easy to actually switch your brain off for a few days.
