A wood-fired hot tub adds something special to a romantic getaway. There's a particular kind of magic to feeding the fire yourself and watching the water slowly warm, glass in hand, as the countryside darkens around you. It's a slower, more hands-on kind of luxury than a standard electric tub, and one many of our guests come back for again and again.

Bigger celebrations are just as well catered for. Several of our holiday cottages with hot tubs sleep up to twenty guests, built for a proper gathering, whether that's a milestone birthday, a family reunion, or simply an excuse to get everyone together under one roof.

These hot tub cottages suit every season. Summer evenings call for a cool drink and a dip as the sun goes down. Come autumn and winter, there's nothing quite like sinking into hot water while the air turns crisp, steam rising against a darkening sky.

Location matters too. Many of our cottages with hot tubs sit close to Forest of Dean and the market towns of Stow-on-the-Wold and Chipping Campden, so a soak is never far from a full day out exploring.

Some hot tubs come as an optional extra rather than included as standard, so check each property's individual details.
