Our Hand-Picked Collection of Hot Tub Stays in Scotland
We have curated a collection that reflects the sheer scale and majesty of the Scottish landscape. In Scotland, "getting away from it all" truly means something. You might find yourself in a timber lodge hidden deep within the ancient Caledonian pine forests, miles from the nearest road, or in a glass-fronted cabin perched on the edge of a sea loch, watching otters play in the water while you soak.
Our inventory spans the entire country, from the rolling Borders in the south to the dramatic coastlines of the Highlands. We feature traditional stone bothies that have been luxuriously converted for couples, contemporary eco-lodges designed to minimise impact on the environment, and historic baronial mansions that allow you to live like a laird for the week.
Every property is chosen for its excellent guest reviews and its ability to immerse you in the spectacular surroundings that Scotland is famous for.
Why Choose Scotland for a Hot Tub Break?
A hot tub holiday in Scotland offers a sense of space and freedom found nowhere else in the UK. It is a land of epic scale, where mountains rise straight from the sea and the sky seems endless. The atmosphere is one of deep connection with nature, whether you are hiking up a Munro, walking along a deserted white-sand beach in the Hebrides, or simply stargazing from your garden in one of the darkest sky parks in Europe.
Beyond the landscapes, Scotland is a destination rich in culture and myth. It is the home of whisky, golf and some of the most dramatic history in the world. You can spend your days touring world-class distilleries in Speyside, exploring the battlefields of Culloden or hunting for monsters in Loch Ness. The "Right to Roam" laws give you unparalleled access to this playground, making it the ultimate destination for explorers and dog owners alike.
Scotland Hot Tub Lodges and Cottages
Our collection captures the spirit of the Highlands and Islands, from loch-side lodges with hot tubs to grand country houses with stunning views.
Highland Lodges & Loch Escapes
Water is the defining feature of the Scottish landscape, and our collection puts you right at the water's edge. We feature a huge selection of lodges and cabins situated on the banks of lochs or overlooking rushing rivers.
These properties are designed to blur the lines between inside and out, often featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and large decks. Imagine waking up to the mist rising off the water, spending the day fishing from your own private jetty or simply watching the changing light on the hills from the warmth of your hot tub. It is the perfect setting for a digital detox.
Luxury Romantic Retreats
For couples seeking solitude, Scotland is arguably the most romantic destination in the UK. Our collection includes intimate retreats designed specifically for two, ranging from cosy log cabins in the woods to remote stone cottages in the glens. These properties offer total privacy and are often located in areas of incredible natural beauty. Features like roaring log fires, super-king beds and private hot tubs with mountain backdrops create a sanctuary where you can reconnect with each other away from the distractions of modern life.
Dog-Friendly Scottish Adventures
Scotland is world-renowned for its warm welcome to dogs. Thanks to the Scottish Outdoor Access Code, you and your four-legged friend have the right to walk almost anywhere, provided you do so responsibly. This opens up a world of adventure, from the forests of Perthshire to the beaches of Ayrshire. Our pet-friendly properties are chosen to support this lifestyle, often featuring large enclosed gardens, utility rooms for drying off muddy paws and direct access to walking trails. It is a place where your dog can truly run free.
Large Country Houses for Celebrations
If you are planning a reunion, a milestone birthday, or a "clan gathering," Scotland offers accommodation on a grand scale. Our collection includes impressive country houses, shooting lodges and even converted castles that can sleep between 10 and 30 guests.
These properties provide a spectacular backdrop for a celebration, often featuring banquet-style dining rooms, games halls and acres of private grounds to explore. It is a chance to experience the grandeur of Highland living with your friends and family, with the added luxury of modern amenities and hot tubs.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to visit Scotland?
Scotland is stunning year-round, but the experience changes with the seasons. May and June often bring the driest weather and long daylight hours. Summer is vibrant but busier. Autumn is spectacular for photography as the glens turn gold and bronze. Winter is cold but magical, perfect for snow sports in the Cairngorms, spotting wildlife, and enjoying cosy fires.
Can I see the Northern Lights from Scotland?
Yes, Scotland is the best place in the UK to see the Aurora Borealis (or "Mirrie Dancers"). The further north you go, the better your chances. The prime season is autumn and winter, when the nights are darkest. Areas with low light pollution, such as the Galloway Forest Dark Sky Park or the Highlands, offer the best viewing conditions.
Is Scotland good for large group holidays?
It is exceptional. The tradition of "shooting lodges" and country estates means there is a high volume of large properties designed to host big groups. You can find venues sleeping 20 or even 30 people, providing a private and grand setting for reunions that hotels cannot match.
Are there good whisky distilleries to visit?
Absolutely. Whisky is Scotland's national drink. There are over 130 active distilleries across the country, divided into five regions (Speyside, Islay, Highland, Lowland and Campbeltown). Most offer tours and tastings. The Malt Whisky Trail in Speyside is world-famous.
What is the Scottish "Right to Roam"?
The Scottish Outdoor Access Code gives everyone the statutory right to access most land and inland water for recreation, provided they act responsibly. This means you can walk, cycle or camp almost anywhere (excluding private gardens and crops), making it incredibly liberating for hikers and dog walkers.
Are there midges in Scotland?
It is best to be honest: yes, the Highland midge can be an annoyance in summer, particularly near water at dawn and dusk. However, they are manageable. They are not usually a problem in bright sunlight or windy conditions. We recommend packing a repellent like "Smidge" or "Avon Skin So Soft" if you are visiting between June and September.
Is Scotland good for a romantic break?
Yes, the combination of dramatic scenery, isolation and cosy accommodation makes it a top choice for romance. Whether it is a boutique cottage near Edinburgh for a city break or a secluded log cabin on the Isle of Skye, the atmosphere is naturally romantic and peaceful.
