Why Whitby is Perfect for a Hot Tub Break
Whitby offers a hot tub holiday experience unlike any other.
It’s a town steeped in history, from the dramatic abbey ruins that inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula to the bustling harbour where fishing boats still land their daily catch.
A hot tub here isn't just a luxury; it's your private viewpoint for a landscape of rugged cliffs and panoramic sea views, and a warm sanctuary after a day exploring the bracing Yorkshire Coast.
Romantic retreats
With its winding cobbled lanes, cosy pubs, and incredible seafood restaurants, Whitby is made for romance. A hot tub break here means watching the sunset over the sea from your private deck, enjoying a glass of wine under the stars, and feeling a world away from everything.
Dog-friendly escapes
Whitby is one of the most welcoming towns for dogs on the coast. With year-round dog-friendly beaches at Sandsend and miles of cliff-top paths on the Cleveland Way, there are endless adventures for you and your four-legged friend. Many of our properties feature enclosed gardens for added peace of mind.
Luxury lodges
For a truly special occasion, our collection includes high-end cottages and lodges that offer a premium experience. Think stylish interiors, modern amenities, and of course, a top-of-the-range hot tub, often positioned to make the most of those incredible coastal views.
Outdoor and fishing breaks
Nestled between the coast and the vast North York Moors National Park, Whitby is a haven for outdoor lovers. Enjoy world-class sea fishing from the pier, hike or cycle through heather-clad moorland, or simply take on a challenging section of the coastal path.
