20 lodges with hot tubs within a 2 hour drive of Newcastle Upon Tyne

*AD This post contains affiliate links

Who doesn't love a weekend break in a quiet lodge, log cabin or cottage with a hot tub attached?

A hot tub is usually high on people's list of requirements when booking a short break and readers will often ask for ideas and recommendations so I decided to put together a list of places you can stay that are within a 2 hour drive of Newcastle and all come with their very own hot tub.

Let me know which one you fancy!

You can find a hidden beer tap and help yourself to beer too! You can check out our review of the Crab & Lobster restaurant here.

  1. If I'm honest, I had no idea that there were this many lodges around the North East! I'm constantly looking at little weekend breaks and hot tubs are high up on my list of things that attract me to a lodge, so I'll keep coming back to list to see which one I fancy!
