Luxury Last Minute Hot Tub Breaks

Think you’ve missed out on the best properties just because you’ve left your booking to the last minute? Think again. The truth is, we have plenty of last minute cottages and hot tub cabins all boasting a range of home comforts and lots of luxury amenities. From swimming pools to games rooms, large open-plan living and beautiful landscaped gardens, last minute holidays can be as luxury as you like. You can even choose whether you want to be close to the coast, countryside or city. 

Last Minute Large Hot Tub Breaks

Whether all the family has decided to get together and head away at the last minute, or you’ve just remembered your mate’s big birthday and need a party house, there’s lots of large houses with hot tubs up for grabs. Plus, with enough space for everyone – even the kids – this is guaranteed to be a holiday to remember for the right reasons. Spread out over multiple floors, give the younger guests a playroom of dreams and enjoy separate bathrooms as you pamper or get ready for another day of fun. Off-street parking is another reason this group holiday will be stress-free. 

Last Minute Lodges with Hot Tubs

Just picture it now. You’re in a forest, surrounded by rich and dense greenery, the weather’s cool but you and your family are keeping warm with an open fire and a dip in the hot tub. Or, maybe your lodge sits pretty on the UK coastline. You hear waves crashing from inside, your morning coffee is made even better by the views and, come evening, you never get tired of taking in the stars from your jacuzzi. A last minute lodge holiday is a fantastic way to get up close and personal to some of Britain’s best landscapes.

Last Minute Romantic Hot Tub Breaks

Celebrating another year together? Perhaps you’re looking to ignite that all-important spark? Well, what could be better than your own private hot tub holiday? Start the day with breakfast in bed, before moving to your hot tub to awaken the senses. After a day exploring the nearby countryside or city, and refueling in some of the area’s best-loved pubs, it’s time to get ready for a romantic dinner out. Alternatively, opt for a night in, under the stars, and don’t forget to enjoy a nightcap in the tub. 

Last Minute Dog-friendly Properties

With our selection of dog-friendly properties, no-one has to miss out. Choose from those with doggy quarters and all the home comforts your furry friend needs, and don’t worry about having to leave them in the holiday cottage. There’s plenty of dog-friendly walks, activities, pubs and even restaurants popping up all over the UK, meaning it’s never been easier to plan a holiday for everyone. From cities up north to the south’s most incredible coastline, there’s a last-minute dog-friendly staycation for every kind of pup.

Here are the best property locations for your last minute hot tub break

London

Best for? Being in the heart of the action

London is a great option if you’re looking for a last minute break as there’s always something to do and you can get your hands on tickets and table bookings quite easily. Explore the capital on foot and tick off all the local attractions, head to the box office and see which shows are on and tantalise your tastebuds at the range of bars and restaurants, and pop up stalls. Adults, kids, even those young at heart, are sure to fall in love with everything the UK’s capital city has to offer. It’s also really easy to get to – wherever home is. 

Cornwall

Best for? Its food and drink

While the UK may have firmly established itself on the worldwide foodie map, one of the places that boasts the best food and drink has got to be Cornwall. Think fresh fish, the finest wine, and meat and veg that’s grown locally. Of course, that’s not the only reason why visitors flock to Cornwall. It’s also home to incredible coastal and countryside as well as shops, galleries, museums and plenty of family-friendly activities. One thing’s for sure, a last-minute trip to Cornwall definitely won’t be regretted. 

Wales

Best for? Its celtic culture

Wales is home to vast landscapes, beautiful mountain ranges, stunning coastal scenes and a few areas of natural beauty. Here, you’ll find plenty of things to do and see – whatever the weather – but it’s the Welsh culture that really has us going back for more. Whether tasting delicacies, enjoying a local tour or meeting those who own the independent shops and pubs, you’re guaranteed to feel at home here. Oh, and did we mention, the range of holiday homes is just as impressive? Think luxury lodges, large family pads and romantic boltholes perfect for a weekend away. 

Yorkshire

Best for? Long walks 

Yorkshire is home to some incredible cities and towns like Leeds and Harrogate, but if you’re looking for a last-minute break, you won’t go wrong with a trip to the countryside. Choose from national parks in the Dales or the Moors, and pack your hiking boots for a weekend of exploration. Dogs, children, grandparents – everyone’s invited and if walking isn’t their thing, there’s plenty of tearooms, shops or other indoor activities to keep them busy. York is also worth a visit and after a morning wandering around the walls, there’s nothing better than heading back to your hot tub property to relax. 

Scotland

Best for? A little bit of everything

Whatever the reason for your last-minute break and however you want to spend your days, Scotland is a great choice. Choose from city breaks in Edinburgh or Glasgow. Head to the coast at Southerness or Ayr. Or, venture into the gorgeous countryside in the Highlands or the Scottish Borders. Mix your days up with walking, hiking, watersports and more. Or keep cosy in a nearby pub or tearoom and peruse the local shops, galleries and museums. It wouldn’t be a true Scottish break without tasting some delicacies though so lookout for some of the finest Haggis.
