Our Hand-Picked Collection of Hot Tub Stays in Lancashire
Finding high-quality accommodation that offers both luxury and value can be a challenge. That's why our Lancashire collection is different. We don't just list everything; we have curated a specific selection of cottages, converted barns, and lodges that meet our strict standards for quality and guest satisfaction.
While we cover the vibrant coast, our speciality is the peaceful countryside of the Ribble Valley and the Forest of Bowland. Here, you can find high-end properties that rival the best of the Lake District, often at a much more accessible price point. Whether you want a large barn for a celebration or a cosy log cabin for two, you can book with confidence knowing these are tried-and-tested favourites.
Why Choose Lancashire for a Hot Tub Break?
A hot tub holiday in Lancashire offers a unique blend of experiences that few other counties can match. It is a land of contrasts, where you can spend the morning walking in the wild, heather-clad hills of the Trough of Bowland and the afternoon enjoying the classic seaside fun of the Fylde Coast.
The Ribble Valley is widely regarded as a "foodie heaven," dotted with award-winning gastro pubs and historic market towns like Clitheroe. It's a walker's paradise that still feels somewhat undiscovered, offering a sense of peace and space that is hard to find elsewhere. It also offers exceptional value compared to the neighbouring Lake District. Returning to your private hot tub after a day of exploring these diverse landscapes is the perfect way to unwind.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Lancashire a good alternative to the Lake District?
Yes, absolutely. It offers very similar scenery, such as rolling green hills, stone villages, and dramatic moorland, but is generally much quieter and offers better value for money. Areas like the Ribble Valley and Forest of Bowland are often compared to the Lakes for their beauty, but lack the heavy summer crowds.
How close is Lancashire to the Lake District?
Very close. You can drive from North Lancashire (near Lancaster/Morecambe) into the South Lakes (Windermere) in about 30-40 minutes. This makes Lancashire an excellent base for day trips into the National Park while avoiding the premium accommodation prices of staying inside the park itself.
Where should I stay in Lancashire for a peaceful break?
If you want peace and quiet, we highly recommend the Ribble Valley or the Forest of Bowland. These areas are rural, scenic, and relaxed. In contrast, the coastal resorts like Blackpool are vibrant and busy. Choosing a cottage near Clitheroe or Lancaster will ensure a tranquil countryside experience.
How far is Lancashire from Manchester and Liverpool?
Lancashire is incredibly accessible from both cities. You can drive to the heart of the Ribble Valley or the coast from Manchester or Liverpool in under an hour. This makes it a perfect destination for a convenient weekend escape without a long drive.
Can I book a last-minute hot tub break in Lancashire?
Yes, last-minute breaks are often available. Because Lancashire has a diverse range of properties, from large barns to small cottages, you can often find spontaneous availability. We recommend checking our listings for the latest dates, especially if you are flexible with your location within the county.
