Hot Tub Breaks in Suffolk
There’s only one thing that would make your next staycation even better: a hot tub.
Suffolk
Combining the best of the UK’s coastal resorts and countryside havens, it’s no surprise that visitors have been flocking to Suffolk for years. A county that’s filled and surrounded with plenty of beauty and nature, it’s bordered by more than 50 miles of coastline and nestled amongst the greenest landscapes. Areas like The Brecks, Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and Southwold make this a luxury destination that’s well worth a visit.
Quiet getaways, adventure-packed weekends, lively day trips – whatever you’re looking for and whoever’s invited – you’re sure to find something to keep you busy here. Think quaint towns, medieval villages, bustling cities and everything in between. The finest food and drink, endless walking and hiking trails, family-friendly attractions and scenes that have inspired writers and artists. And for those that are feeling lucky, a trip to the home of horse racing at Newmarket should definitely be on your list.
The cottages with hot tubs are just as impressive too – whether you’re here for a long or short break. Choose from those smaller pads with just the right amount of intimacy, larger log cabins with hot tubs and space for all the family or pet-friendly properties that offer a home away from home for all guests. One thing’s for sure when you start the search for a Suffolk hot tub break, you’ll definitely be spoiled for choice.

Offering the best of both worlds, and everything you could want from a UK break, these are some of the most popular Suffolk locations.
Newmarket

There’s even a local distillery serving up the most delicious treats.
Bury St Edmunds
Best for? A short break
It was once called “the nicest town in the world” by traveller and essayist William Cobbett – and today, many would still agree. Often shortened to Bury, it’s a historic market town and cathedral town that’s close to Ipswich, making it a great base for your family trip. Of course, with such a rich history surrounding it, a day spent exploring the local heritage is a must. But there’s also museums, shops, theatres, bars and walking trails to keep you busy.

That’s not all either as there are also lots of independent cafes and pubs, with owners who are more than happy to stop and chat. Walking and hiking trails along the coast are sure to keep everyone entertained too.
Lavenham

Nestled in the finest Suffolk countryside, Lavenham is often said to be one of the UK’s best-kept medieval villages.

Today, over 300 buildings are listed and the thriving community spirit can be found in independent shops, galleries, restaurants, cafes and pubs.
