Lodges With Hot Tubs Near Bristol (2026 Guide)

A hot tub on the deck of a timber lodge at dusk in the Somerset countryside

You can be soaking in a private hot tub within about 20 minutes of leaving Bristol, or take a little longer and explore hills, gorges and quiet Welsh valleys. The city is great, but there comes a point on a Friday when you want a rural log cabin or lodge, outdoor space and nobody else in sight.

Our guide to lodges with hot tubs near Bristol is for people who live nearby and want short breaks without a long motorway slog, as well as visitors who’d rather sleep in the countryside. Every place below has a private tub, and the drive times are by road.

Which lodges with hot tubs near Bristol are worth the drive?

These are the most popular places to start, ordered by how close they are. The nearest is the barn conversion at Aust, 18 minutes from the city, and the furthest is just over half an hour away. For a Friday night, that’s the difference between arriving in time for dinner and arriving hungry.

Hidden Well, Aust, Gloucestershire

About 18 minutes’ drive from Bristol – sleeps up to 10 – near a beach and a pub

Hidden Well is a barn conversion on a working farm just outside Bristol

With a big group, this is the one. Hidden Well is a luxury barn conversion on a peaceful farm, with three spacious bedrooms and room for 10 guests, so nobody trips over anyone else.

The tub looks out over the farm and countryside, a lovely location, and there’s an enclosed garden, and an electric vehicle charging point is a handy extra. Walk to the Severn Estuary and the Aust wetlands, then drive into the city for the day. You can even try surfing lessons at the Wave inland.

Bottom Lodge, Llanvair-Discoed, Monmouthshire

About 31 minutes’ drive from Bristol – sleeps up to 4 – pets welcome – near a pub – open fire

Bottom Lodge has valley views across to the River Severn

Cross the Severn and you’re in Wales in half an hour. This single-storey place has views over the valley towards the River Severn, a snug woodburning stove and a local welcome hamper on arrival.

It sleeps four, takes pets and has a pub less than a mile away, so it suits a small family with a dog. Browse more Welsh stays in South Wales.

Cheddar Woods Resort and Spa, Somerset

About 33 minutes’ drive from Bristol – sleeps up to 8 – pets welcome – indoor pool

Cheddar Woods has a tropical indoor pool as well as lodges with hot tubs

Families love the extras here. Alongside the hot tubs you get a tropical indoor pool, a gym and health club, and activities from target shooting and fencing to raft building and snorkelling. A soft play area and a Go Juniors programme keep the little ones busy.

The location, a popular one for guests, on the slopes of the Mendip Hills, is close to Wells, Weston-super-Mare and Street. Cheddar Gorge is on the doorstep.

Combe Hay at Strawberryfield Park, Somerset

About 36 minutes’ drive from Bristol – sleeps up to 2 – adults only – romantic – near a pub

Combe Hay has a luxury tub sunk into the decking for couples

For two, this one’s hard to beat. It’s a modern, luxury one-bedroom eco lodge with a tub sunken into the decking, a freestanding bath under LED spotlights and a Bang & Olufsen smart TV for when you fancy a film.

It’s a perfect spot to relax, with communal parkland, a small orchard and a cider barn at the entrance where locals gather.

Nyland Lodge at Strawberryfield Park, Somerset

About 36 minutes’ drive from Bristol – sleeps up to 2 – adults only – near a pub

Nyland Lodge is an adults-only lodge near Cheddar with a hot tub on the deck

Same park, slightly different feel. Nyland is a luxury, popular choice, with a super king size bed in its one bedroom, an open-plan kitchen island and a large L-shaped deck lit with LEDs for evening drinks. The tub is partly sunk into the boards, so you step straight out of the water.

Several more luxury places at Strawberryfield Park have the same set-up, so try Somerset if these are taken.

How far from Bristol is the right distance for a weekend away?

Quick rule of thumb. Under 20 minutes, you get the closest private tub and a night on a farm or in the country. Around 30 to 40 minutes, you’re into the Mendips and South Wales, where the scenery changes completely. Anything over an hour starts to eat into your weekend.

Big group of friends: Hidden Well sleeps 10 and is the shortest drive.
Couples: Strawberryfield Park near Cheddar, with adults-only lodges for two.
Families: Cheddar Woods for the pool and activities.
Dog owners: Bottom Lodge or Cheddar Woods, both pet-friendly.
Parking: check each booking page for parking at the accommodation.

How do you escape Bristol on a Friday night?

Traffic is the one thing that can spoil the start of a break, so a little planning goes a long way.

Leave before 4pm, or after 7pm, to miss the worst of the M5 and M32 queues.
Pick up groceries on the way, so the first night is all about the tub.
Check the check-in time with the park, as it varies.
Look at the road ahead on the day, as the Severn crossings can close in high winds.
Take a torch for the walk from the car park on rural sites.

Where do guests park?

Parking varies from stay to stay, so check the booking page for parking and EV charging details before you set off.

What can you do from a lodge near Bristol?

Walk the Mendips in the morning, then come back and soak. That’s the whole plan, really, but there’s plenty more to explore.

Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole

Cheddar Gorge is a short drive from the Strawberryfield and Cheddar Woods stays, and Wookey Hole’s caves make a good rainy-day plan. Or cross the Severn to the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley for woodland walks. Fancy a change of scene? Try the Cotswolds.

Bath and Wells

Bath is a short drive east and home to the Roman Baths. Wells, England’s smallest city, is the other easy day trip. Our Bath guide covers stays on that side.

Tyntesfield and the Severn Estuary

Tyntesfield is a Gothic Revival house run by the National Trust at Wraxall, with 540 acres of grounds, play areas and a working kitchen garden. Near Aust, the Severn Estuary path and wetlands are great for a quiet wander.

Bristol itself

Staying outside and visiting the city works well. The big sights are easy to fit into one day:

The SS Great Britain, moored in the Harbourside docks.
The Clifton Suspension Bridge across the Avon Gorge.
Lunch at Wapping Wharf, beside the harbour.
Banksy’s Mild Mild West on Stokes Croft.

When’s the best time for a break near Bristol?

Cold, quiet and made for steaming water under a clear sky. Pack a woolly hat.

Still chilly, so a log fire and a soak is the plan. Cheddar Gorge is quiet.

Daffodils appear and the days stretch. A good time for a mid-week escape from the city.

Lambs in the fields and showers in the air. Walk in the morning, soak in the afternoon.

Long evenings on the deck and the Mendips turning green. Bank holidays book up early.

Light until late, so you can sit out well after 9pm. Great for sharing a lodge with friends.

Warm and busy. Book early and save the soak for evenings when the air cools.

School holidays mean the Somerset attractions fill up and lodges are in demand.

Settled weather, quieter lanes and warm evenings. A favourite month for many regulars.

Autumn colour across the Mendips, then a soak when the nights draw in.

Dark early, which suits stargazing from the tub. Prices are often kinder.

Cosy lodges and woodburners, close enough to drive home on Boxing Day.

Board games and a pack of cards
Walking boots for the Mendips
