37 dog-friendly lodges with hot tubs (UK)

In ancient woodland in the Whicham Valley below Black Combe, on the western fringe of the Lake District — a three-bedroom lodge with private outdoor hot tub. The pet-friendly designation applies to specific lodges only, so declare the dog at booking and confirm the lodge code; not every lodge on the park accepts pets. Two dogs welcome, charges apply at booking. The woodland setting buys quiet that the busier Windermere parks don't.

A big seven-bedroom Windermere townhouse built for the whole extended family — fourteen people, four dogs, and a seven-seater private hot tub in a walled rear courtyard that the listing calls extremely private. That combination (sleeps 14, takes 4 dogs, walled outdoor space) is genuinely hard to find, which is why it earns its keep for a multi-family reunion or a big group of walkers. Pet charges apply and are shown at booking.

A converted stone cottage in quiet Bampton, on the Lake District's eastern edge above Haweswater — the uncrowded side of the Lakes. A private hot tub for six and an enclosed garden make it a snug base for a small family with a dog. One dog only, but it stays free, which is rare on hot-tub stock. Worth knowing — the few pounds mentioned in the listing is parking at the village hall, not a pet fee.

A Scandinavian-style eco lodge above Patterdale, between Brotherswater and Ullswater, with a private hot tub on its own enclosed decking and panoramic fell views. Two dogs welcome and free — but read the small print — pets are allowed only in specific lodges on the park, and this is one of them, so book by name and confirm the lodge code. There's no garden, just the enclosed verandah; the walking, though, is straight into Patterdale's fells.

A peaceful Lakeland cottage a mile from Coniston Water, with its own private lawn and a private hot tub. Two dogs welcome and they stay free — an unusually generous combination for a hot-tub place. One honest caveat — the garden is described as private and lawned, but the listing doesn't confirm it's fully fenced, so if you've a dog that bolts, check the boundary before you let it off. Coniston and the Old Man are on the doorstep.

A Grade II listed Windermere house designed by Augustus Pugin, sleeping sixteen across five bedrooms and taking up to four dogs — the combination big multi-family groups struggle to find. Both front and rear gardens are enclosed, there's a private hot tub for eight in its own garden building, an Aga, an open fire and an eighteen-seat cinema room for the wet afternoons. Three steps up to the entrance, and a £400 security deposit applies.

A rural lodge with valley views near Cononley, just south of Skipton — a genuine southern gateway to the Dales, though strictly a touch outside the National Park boundary. Three dogs stay free, which is unusually generous, and there's a private hot tub and an enclosed patio. Sleeps five (one double, one room with three singles), so it suits a family with children and a couple of dogs. The Pennine Way and the southern Dales fells are close by.

A stylish three-bedroom lodge with a king suite, a private hot tub on its own decking and room for six — with a high three-dog limit that most hot-tub places won't touch. One honest point of geography — despite the name, it isn't in Malham. "Malham Lodge" is the unit's name; the park sits at Gisburn on the south-western edge of the Dales, in Ribble Valley / Forest of Bowland country, a short drive from the southern fells rather than inside the National Park. Good walking country all the same.

A chic two-bedroom lodge at Aysgarth, genuinely inside the Yorkshire Dales National Park and minutes from Aysgarth Falls — the truest "in the Dales" hot-tub option we could verify, in a part of the country where dog-friendly private tubs are genuinely scarce. Private outdoor hot tub on the decking, two dogs welcome, both bedrooms sorted for a small family or two couples. Wensleydale walking, the falls and the Herriot country pubs are all on the doorstep.

On Felmoor Park near Felton — a three-bedroom ground-floor lodge with a private sunken hot tub for six on a raised wraparound deck. Up to three dogs welcome, "pets stay free", though the deck enclosure status isn't specified on the listing — confirm at arrival or keep them on lead while assessing. On-site restaurant and café, EV charging, half a mile to Northumberland Zoo. Parking for one vehicle (worth knowing if you've a second car or trailer).

A two-bedroom timber lodge in the woodland at Percy Wood, near Swarland — handily placed between Morpeth and Alnwick and a short drive from the Northumberland coast. The private, enclosed decking with its hot tub for six is the draw, and two dogs stay free, which is rare. A quiet, wooded base for walking the coast path and the castle country, then soaking back at the lodge.

Another Percy Wood lodge near Swarland, sleeping four with French doors opening straight onto the decking and a private hot tub. It sits within 180 acres of grounds with a dog-friendly clubhouse, and it's well placed for both the Cheviots and the Northumberland coast. Two dogs welcome, with a charge at booking. A comfortable, low-key base for a walking-and-hot-tub week in the north.

On Loch Lomond Holiday Park at Inveruglas — sleeps 8 across four en-suite bedrooms, with a private outdoor hot tub overlooking the loch. Two dogs welcome at £39 per pet per week, complimentary dog welcome pack. Important caveat — this is a unit-class booking, not a specific named lodge. Hoseasons states images are representative and the actual lodge assigned at check-in may vary in finish or position. Confirm specifics at booking, or expect surprise.

A three-bedroom lodge — every room en-suite — on the quieter west shore of Loch Lomond, with a private outdoor hot tub on its decking and a complimentary dog welcome pack thrown in. It's the smaller sibling of the four-bed we already rate on this park, so if six is your number this is the tidier fit. Two dogs at £39 each; the loch, the Trossachs and the West Highland Way are all on the doorstep.

A roomy Aviemore house on the edge of the Cairngorms, sleeping nine across four bedrooms with a private hot tub and — the bit that matters for dogs — a properly fenced garden with patio and barbecue. That makes it a rare thing — a big-group Highland base where the dog has a secure space of its own, right in the heart of Scotland's best walking country. Two dogs welcome; charges apply at booking.

A luxury five-bedroom house near Castle Douglas in Galloway — Scotland's quiet, under-visited south-west — with both a private hot tub for six and its own outdoor heated pool. Sleeps ten, and one dog stays free. The back garden has a summerhouse, barbecue and furniture (mind the couple of steps down into it). Galloway is the bit of Scotland that dog owners overlook — dark-sky forest, empty beaches, and far fewer people than the Highlands.

A cosy two-bedroom cottage in Ballater on Royal Deeside, near Balmoral and the eastern Cairngorms, with a wood-fired private hot tub for four and an enclosed back garden. The wood-fired tub is the detail — you heat it yourself with a fire, which is slower but far more in keeping with a Highland evening than a plug-in one. One dog stays free. Deeside gives you Munros, pine forest and the Dee itself, all walkable with a dog.

A Highland farmhouse near Carrbridge that actually kits out for dogs — beds, a cage and bowls provided — with a private hot tub for six and pets staying free. There's a large enclosed lawned garden, but read the rule honestly — it must be kept closed at all times because of livestock, and dogs are to be on a lead outside (this is sheep country). Handle that and it's one of the most dog-ready bases in the Cairngorms.

On Silver Sands Holiday Park near Praa Sands — say so up front, this is a holiday-park lodge, not a standalone — Signature Cove sleeps four with a private hot tub, a fire pit with free firewood, and the kind of outdoor setup that makes a wet Cornish week tolerable. Two dogs welcome throughout the lodge and grounds. The listing currently still advertises "Pets free of charge for 2025 (specific accommodation only)" — confirm at booking whether that applies to your dates. The private garden isn't explicitly described as enclosed.

On Tregoad Holiday Park near Looe — a three-bedroom lodge with a private sunken hot tub on a large veranda. Two dogs welcome, "pets stay free" applies to pet-specific lodges only — confirm the exact unit at booking. Like several Hoseasons holiday-park bookings, this is a unit-class reservation rather than a specific named lodge — imagery is representative, the actual lodge assigned may vary. The 20ft width, wine fridge and dishwasher are standard across the spec.

A contemporary four-bedroom woodland lodge at St Ives Holiday Village, just inland at Lelant, with a private hot tub on its own decking and room for eight — a good fit for two families sharing near one of Cornwall's best stretches of coast. Two dogs at £50 each, and it must be this pet-designated unit, so book by name. St Ives' dog-friendly beaches (Porthkidney and Hayle's three miles of sand) are minutes away.

One of fourteen restored cottages at Kilminorth, in a wooded valley above Looe, and the pick of them for a dog — a large, private, fully enclosed terrace with a built-in barbecue and its own hot tub, plus gated access to the shared garden. Kilminorth takes dogs seriously — there's a dog shower on site and a welcome pack with a bowl, a towel for muddy paws and poo bags. Two dogs at £25 each a week, with woodland walks, a pool and tennis on the doorstep.

A two-bedroom cottage in the Kilminorth collection above Looe, with its own private hot tub and a private enclosed patio — the smaller, simpler sibling to Above Town and a tidy fit for a couple or small family with a pair of dogs. The site is the real draw for dog owners — a dog shower, a proper welcome pack, and woodland walks, a pool and tennis without leaving the grounds. Two dogs at £25 each a week.

A luxury barn conversion in the far west, near Land's End and the surf at Sennen Cove, deep in the West Penwith moors. A private hot tub, an enclosed patio with furniture and barbecue, and a welcome pack that actually includes doggy extras — a rare touch. Two dogs welcome; charges apply at booking. This is the wild, ancient end of Cornwall — standing stones, cliff paths and some of the best year-round dog beaches in the county within a short drive.

A big six-bedroom farmhouse in central Cornwall, between Falmouth and St Ives, sleeping twelve with a private hot tub and taking up to three dogs — the combination a large group with several dogs usually struggles to find. The grounds are large, private and secluded, but be honest with yourself about the layout — there are steps and a fenced drop, so it's not a fully sealed garden for a dog that can't be trusted off-lead. For a multi-family reunion with dogs, though, it's hard to beat.

A fifteenth-century converted corn mill near Launceston, on the quiet Cornwall–Devon border away from the coast crowds, with a wood burner, a private hot tub for six and an enclosed lawned garden to the rear. Two dogs stay free and are welcome throughout the house — a genuinely relaxed dog policy in a characterful old building. A good inland base for Bodmin Moor and the north coast beaches alike, without paying seaside-village prices.

On White Cross Bay Holiday Park near Windermere — a two-bedroom lodge with a private hot tub on gated decking, fenced on two sides (enough for most dogs but watch the open ends). Welcome hamper includes dog treats, the marina is 200 yards down the path, and Lake Windermere is on the doorstep. Hot tub usage capped at 10am–10pm by park rule. £250 good-housekeeping bond required; no EV charging permitted on the unit.

On Limefitt Park (Parkdean) near Windermere — a three-bedroom lodge with private outdoor hot tub on fenced decking. Up to three dogs, but the rule is small dogs only — verify before bringing a labrador. Indoor and outdoor dog bowls provided; an on-site dog field for off-lead exercise; the on-park Haybarn Inn pub welcomes dogs too. Park rules — dogs on lead at all times outside the lodge, not left alone in the lodge — and the hot tub runs 10am–10pm only.

An 1899 Lakeland stone cottage in Eskdale (not on a holiday park — properly standalone) with a covered private hot tub for six and fell views. Sleeps 8 in four bedrooms across two floors, plus a sofa-bed in the snug if needed. Two dogs welcome throughout, with a boot room for muddy gear, a wood burner with logs included, raised lawn-and-stream garden, and a welcome basket with dog treats. The pub at Santon Bridge is 0.2 miles.

On a working farm in Winston, County Durham — east of the Yorkshire Dales, despite the Sykes URL filing it under "North York Moors". A one-bedroom studio with a wood-fired private hot tub, year-round. Garden isn't enclosed, but the fenced field opposite is for off-lead. Welcome pack runs to blankets, towels, bowls and poo bags — closer to the strongest cottage stock than the lodge averages. Two dogs welcome; charge at booking.

On the Otterburn Hall lodge park in Northumberland — a three-bedroom contemporary lodge with private hot tub on fenced decking, four steps up. The 500-acre estate is shared but well-spaced; the unfenced lake on the grounds means off-lead near water needs supervision. Two dogs welcome, charge at booking. Slippers, robes and a welcome gift on arrival; barbecues prohibited per park rule, in case that matters.

In Bamburgh, Northumberland — a three-bedroom ground-floor lodge with a private wooden hot tub on raised decking. Critical to know before booking — the hot tub costs an extra £250 supplement on top of the rental, separately added at checkout. Without it, the tub stays switched off. Up to two dogs at £25 per pet; enclosed decking; about two miles' walk to Bamburgh village. Year-round bookings; £250 good-housekeeping bond also required.

In Balminnoch near Glenluce, Dumfries & Galloway — a single-storey two-bedroom lodge with ramp access, a covered private hot tub year-round, and curtained decking for privacy. One small well-behaved dog only — a hard cap, not a soft one. Garden isn't enclosed (dogs need supervising), and the owners live on site. Bowls, treats and throws provided per recent reviews; £150 good-housekeeping bond. Scottish short-term let licence DG-01664-F is on display.

A Canadian log cabin in 3 hectares of private woodland near North Kessock, ten minutes' drive from Inverness. Two-bedroom, single-storey, with private outdoor hot tub on a covered veranda — usable year-round and screened by canopy. Two dogs welcome, charge at booking. Enclosed veranda; on-site woodland walks for off-lead. Wood-burning stove; £150 good-housekeeping bond. Scottish short-term let licence HI-20364-F. The kind of place that quietens dogs out within an hour.

Sykes Gem Awards 2024 Gold winner — Best in Scotland — and the strongest verified hot tub property in the set. Sleeps 8 across four bedrooms, year-round private hot tub on the patio, fully enclosed rear garden, dedicated utility "dog room", and an outdoor hose for muddy paws. Two dogs welcome, charge at booking. Bowls and towels provided; games room with air hockey, pool and PlayStation 4. Pitmedden, Aberdeenshire — properly standalone, no holiday park.

A converted mill in Felindre Farchog, Pembrokeshire Coast National Park — two-bedroom, with original stone flooring and beams, a year-round private hot tub with retracting privacy screen, and a 7kW EV charger. Up to two small or medium dogs (a hard cap on size); private garden isn't fully dog-proof per the listing's own wording, but a separate enclosed dog play area is on-site. Dogs on lead at all times — there are ducks. Children 8+.

Four cottages on a 22-acre estate near Saltash — Owl Barn, Tree Barn, Heather Barn and Coach House. Each has a covered private hot tub, an enclosed garden, and access to "Central Bark", the estate's six-acre dog walking field, fenced to 90 cm. Up to four dogs per cottage at £25 per dog flat (regardless of stay length); assistance dogs free. Heather Barn is fully wheelchair accessible. The strongest dedicated dog-and-hot-tub setup in the South West.
