Pet-friendly cottages with hot tubs
Date published: 8 May 2026
There’s something about dog-friendly cottages with hot tubs that just hits differently. Countryside walks, coastal adventures, muddy paws – and then straight into warm, bubbling bliss. It’s the kind of stay where everyone gets what they want, including the dog.
From romantic hideaways to big group getaways, these pet-friendly cottages are all about making time away feel easy. Think enclosed gardens, scenic locations and plenty of space to switch off – with a hot tub always ready at the end of the day.
Whether you’re planning long beach days, moorland hikes or simply a change of pace, these stays bring together comfort, character and a little bit of indulgence. The only question is where you’ll head first.
Bottomhouse Barn, Staffordshire Moorlands
Big group getaway? Sorted. Bottomhouse Barn is made for memory-making – think long, laughter-filled dinners around that huge oak table, then straight outside to soak under wide-open Peak District skies.
The views here do the talking, especially when you’re sinking into the bubbles after a day on the moors. Inside, it’s all beams, space and proper cosy corners – ideal for switching off without feeling cut off.
2 Bed Cottage, Norwich
This one’s all about low-key luxury with a side of fun. Tucked down quiet country lanes near Norwich, it’s a polished little escape for four – with a private garden that feels made for long, lazy evenings in the hot tub.
When you’re not soaking, there’s an indoor pool and even a snooker room to mix things up. Beaches, Broads and city days out? All within easy reach.
Badger’s Burrow, Rutland
Small but seriously well-kitted out, Badger’s Burrow packs a lot into its countryside setting. The wood-fired hot tub is the star – best enjoyed under dark Rutland skies, but it doesn’t stop there.
Think outdoor movie nights on the 70-inch garden TV, plus access to a full-on wellness setup with sauna and plunge pool. It’s equal parts peaceful retreat and playful escape.
Starwood, Northumberland
Woodland setting, total privacy and a hot tub waiting at the end of the day – Starwood nails the brief.
This pine lodge keeps things simple but seriously comfortable, with a big enclosed garden that’s perfect for dogs to roam while you unwind outside. Even better, you’re just a short drive from Northumberland’s beaches and castles, so days can be as full or as slow as you like.
Aspen Lodge, Whitby
Coast or countryside? At Aspen Lodge, you don’t have to choose. Tucked just outside Whitby, it’s perfectly placed for beach days, moorland walks and everything in between.
The hot tub sits on a private deck made for slow evenings, while inside keeps things calm, cosy and effortlessly stylish. Bonus points for dog-friendly stays and having a great pub within easy stumbling distance.
4 Bed Cottage, Lochgoilhead
This is the kind of place you book for the views alone – then realise everything else is just as good. Perched above Loch Goil, the hot tub comes with front-row seats to mountains, water and whatever wildlife wanders by.
There’s a private jetty for paddleboarding days, a hidden pool table for evenings, and even a treehouse for younger guests. Big, scenic and packed with personality.
Pump House, East Sussex
Romantic, rural and refreshingly dog-friendly, Pump House is a countryside escape done right.
Set within 10 acres of Sussex scenery, it’s made for slow mornings, long walks and evenings spent soaking in the hot tub with nothing but rolling views around you. There’s even space designed with dogs in mind, so no one feels like an afterthought. Peaceful, private and properly special.
Crift Farm Cottage, Cornwall
If your dog could plan the holiday, this would be it. Crift Farm Cottage comes with four acres of enclosed fields to roam, plus a cosy base that’s just as inviting for humans.
After coastal walks or trips to Fowey, the hot tub is ready and waiting for a wind-down under the Cornish sky. Quiet, comfy and brilliantly located for exploring – or doing absolutely nothing.
Bryn Hafod, Powys
This is romance with a serious upgrade. Bryn Hafod is a sleek, studio-style hideaway for two, set high above the Mid Wales countryside with views you won’t get bored of.
The hot tub is perfectly tucked away on a private deck, but the real twist? Your own sauna too. Doors open, fresh air in, bubbles on – it’s all about slowing things right down. Dogs welcome, obviously.
Rafters, March End Lodges, Georgeham
A countryside hideaway with a polished edge, Rafters is all about slowing things down in style. Floor-to-ceiling glass brings the Devon views right into your living space, while the hot tub is tucked neatly under cover – perfect whatever the weather’s doing.
Add in a roll-top bath, an enclosed garden for the dog, and Woolacombe’s beaches nearby, and you’ve got a seriously good excuse to switch off.
High Rigg Shepherd’s Hideaway, Cumbria
This is the kind of place you disappear to. Hidden down a tree-lined path, this shepherd’s hut feels properly off-grid – but with a hot tub that makes it anything but basic.
Think stargazing from the bubbles, mornings with wide-open countryside views and evenings by the fire. It’s cosy, quiet and just close enough to the Lake District for days out when you fancy them.
Chapterhouse, Cathedral View, Wells
Not many hot tubs come with a view like this. Chapterhouse puts Wells Cathedral front and centre, so you can soak up one of England’s most impressive backdrops right in sight.
It’s a clever mix of countryside calm and city break ease, with Wells just a short stroll away. Add a sleek, boutique-style interior and an enclosed garden for your furry friend, and it feels properly special.
