Lodges With Hot Tubs Near Liverpool

You can be out of Liverpool by Friday teatime and sitting in a steaming hot tub before the sun has gone down. That’s the whole idea behind this guide to lodges with hot tubs near Liverpool: a proper holiday break that starts in the car park at work, not at the end of a long motorway slog. It’s a proper getaway with a hot tub waiting at the other end.

Most of the lodges below are 35 to 55 minutes away by road, across the Wirral and into Cheshire or over the border into Flintshire and Denbighshire.

Every one has a private hot tub, so you can book a short break, a weekend or a full week without planning a big journey. Some are luxury lodges for families and groups, others are log cabin style retreats for two, and several are dog friendly and pet friendly. The location of each is in the countryside, a world away from Liverpool city centre.

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

We’ve picked six holiday lodges and parks, all with a hot tub, and put them in order of drive time from the city. Allow a bit longer on a Friday evening. Each hot tub lodge has a kitchen, wifi and a garden or deck, and the bigger ones have several bedrooms for groups.

Delamere Forest Lodges, Cheshire

About 35 minutes’ drive from Liverpool – sleeps up to 10 – pets welcome

Closest to the city and still properly out in the woods. These lodges sit in the old royal hunting forest of Delamere, a big shady spread of trees on the Cheshire Plain, and the lodges have outdoor hot tubs, with a hoist-equipped tub for guests who need one. Explore from the door along waymarked paths, cycle routes and bridleways, then come back and thaw out in the water.

Ewe Two, Oakenholt near Northop, Flintshire

About 41 minutes’ drive from Liverpool – sleeps up to 2 – adults only – near a pub

A perfect couple’s escape on a working farm, and the nearest thing to a hot tub log cabin here. It’s a barrel-style pod with a private wood-fired hot tub on the decking, a swivelling Smart TV so you can watch from bed or from the water, and a pub only 0.6 miles away. The views run across rolling hills to the River Dee Estuary, a stunning backdrop for a night-time soak.

Delamere Lake Sailing and Holiday Park, Cheshire

About 45 minutes’ drive from Liverpool – sleeps up to 10 – pets welcome

This one wraps around a 120 acre lake in the heart of the Cheshire Plain, with Delamere Forest on the doorstep. The lodges have floor to ceiling windows and plenty of space for families and friends. Our favourite is the Country Lodge Six VIP Platinum, a roomy lodge with one double and two twin rooms.

Kittys View Country Lodges, Broxton near Chester

About 49 minutes’ drive from Liverpool – sleeps up to 4 – pets welcome

Plas Isaf Lodge Retreat, Caerwys, North Wales

About 52 minutes’ drive from Liverpool – sleeps up to 8 – pets welcome

Private decking, fully equipped kitchens and hot tubs in selected lodges, all in an area of conservation with clear streams running through it. It’s a good holiday base if you’d like the North Wales coast, castles and beaches nearby, but still want a quiet evening on the deck.

Clwydian View at ParcFarm, Mold, North Wales

About 54 minutes’ drive from Liverpool – sleeps up to 8 – pets welcome – indoor pool

The one to pick when the kids want a swim as well as a soak. The park has an indoor heated pool (seasonal, so check dates when you book), a gym, a play area, a restaurant and a bar, and the lodges look out at the Clwydian Hills.

How far is too far for a hot tub break near Liverpool?

For a Friday-night escape, under an hour is the sweet spot. That keeps you clear of the worst of the traffic and still leaves time for a late dinner and a first soak on the night you arrive. Every lodge above fits that, and the Delamere Forest Lodges are the quickest of the lot.

If you’ve got a long weekend or a full week, widen the search. North Wales and Snowdonia are an hour or so further, and our North Wales and Snowdonia lodges with hot tubs page lists the lot. Heading north instead? Lancashire lodges with hot tubs are in easy reach too, and Hambleton Lakeside Lodges near Poulton-le-Fylde is about 72 minutes away, with fishing from the deck. Fancy going further? The Lake District is an easy holiday drive north.

What can you do near the lodges?

The best part of staying out of the city is how many attractions sit nearby. In Cheshire, Delamere Forest has a visitor centre with a cafe, free graded path maps and bike hire, a choice of waymarked trails, and a Go Ape high ropes course for anyone aged 10 and over. Delamere station is on the Mid-Cheshire line, so you can leave the car at the lodge for a day.

Roman Chester is a short drive on, with its two-tiered shopping Rows and the city walls, and families can combine a stay with lodges near Chester Zoo.

Over the border, you can explore the Clwydian Range is a chain of heather-covered hills topped by hillforts. Moel Famau is the highest, and the ruined Jubilee Tower on the summit makes a cracking viewpoint. From Loggerheads Country Park near Mold, the walk to the top is just over a mile each way for the most direct route. Wrap up warm, then head back to the lodge and its hot tub.

Spending a day in Liverpool itself

Staying outside the city doesn’t mean missing it, and Merseyside’s best attractions are a short train ride from Liverpool city centre. The Royal Albert Dock, the Beatles Story, Liverpool Cathedral, the Merseyside Maritime Museum and Anfield tours are all easy day trips, and Merseyrail runs frequent trains. Check each attraction’s website for current opening times and ticket prices before you go.

• Royal Albert Dock: galleries, cafes and the Beatles Story, right on the River Mersey.
• Liverpool Cathedral: Britain’s largest cathedral, with a tower you can climb for views over the city.
• Sefton Park: a big Victorian park with the Palm House glasshouse, free to wander.
• Crosby Beach: Antony Gormley’s Another Place, a hundred cast iron figures staring out to sea. It’s about 20 minutes from Liverpool Central by train.
• Mersey Ferry: river cruises with views of the Liverpool waterfront.

What should you pack for a hot tub break?

Pack for water, wind and wet footpaths, and a spare pair of dry socks for the countryside.

Here’s a quick checklist for a break in Cheshire or North Wales.

When is the best time to visit?

Hot tubs work all year. Cold, clear nights are the best of all, and the hills around Mold and Ruthin get properly dark for stargazing. Here’s how the months stack up for a break within reach of Liverpool.

Sharing a lodge with friends or family?

The larger lodges at Delamere sleep up to ten, so a group holiday can work out far cheaper per person than you’d expect. Use the calculator to see what each person pays.
