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!

We've stayed at the Crab Manor near Thirsk a couple of times now and definitely recommend booking well in advance as they are super popular. All rooms can access a shared hot tub or there are a fair few that have their own private hot tub too.

If you love seafood, the award winning Crab & Lobster pub and restaurant is on your doorstep (and they serve a cracking breakfast) and complimentary pre-dinner canapes are served in the Crab Manor lounge for overnight guests to enjoy.

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.
