Friday night, work done, and the Tyne Bridge is in your rear-view mirror. Forty minutes later you’re lowering yourself into a steaming private hot tub with nothing ahead but dark hills and a very long list of things you aren’t going to do. That’s the whole appeal of a hot tub stay on Newcastle’s doorstep. The escape starts almost as soon as you’ve parked.
Simple as that.
Both sides of the city have a good run of choices for a short break. North and west, Northumberland has Hexham, Hadrian’s Wall and the countryside around Kielder. South, County Durham has farm conversions, coastal pods and the quiet Weardale hills. All of them are a straightforward drive from the city centre, so you can leave after work and be soaking before the first stars come out.
If you live in Newcastle upon Tyne or Gateshead, or you’re visiting the city centre for the weekend, the closest private hot tub lodges are actually just over the border in County Durham, around Witton Gilbert and Knitsley. The picks below are ordered by road drive time from Newcastle upon Tyne, not as-the-crow-flies guesses. Every one has an outdoor hot tub for guests to use in the garden or on the deck.
| Lodge | Drive (mins) | Sleeps | Pets | Pool |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stackyard | 26 | 6 | Yes | No |
| Durham Coastal Lodges | 33 | 4 | No | No |
| Haystax Holiday Lodges | 34 | 6 | Yes | No |
| Heathergate Boutique Holiday Park | 36 | 4 | Yes | Yes |
| Sandy Park | 39 | 4 | Yes | No |
| Hillside View | 40 | 4 | Yes | No |
About 26 minutes’ drive from Newcastle – sleeps up to 6 – pets welcome – fishing – near a pub
This is the one to book when you want to be in the tub within the hour. Stackyard is a converted grain store on a working farm, so the countryside arrives almost as soon as you leave the A1(M). Inside it’s open-plan, with sleek sofas, a big TV and a glass staircase up to the bedrooms.
Durham is on your doorstep for a Saturday wander. The North Pennines are a short hop west, and guests with dogs get plenty of countryside to roam.
About 33 minutes’ drive from Newcastle – sleeps up to 4 – luxury
A small cluster of boutique lodges, each with its own outdoor hot tub, remote-control mood lighting and a wood burner with logs supplied. Wi-Fi is included, which helps if somebody in the party can’t fully switch off. Haswell sits between the city of Durham and the coast, so you can do cathedral in the morning and sea air by the afternoon. Out on the decking, the tub does the rest.
About 34 minutes’ drive from Newcastle – sleeps up to 6 – pets welcome – woodland – luxury
Haystax was designed so that everybody can enjoy a break, with level-access floors, wide doorways, a wet-room shower and an enclosed deck for the private hot tub. Dogs are welcome. There’s a wild woodland play area for children and a forest school area with bookable sessions, which makes it a strong pet friendly choice for a family holiday with grandparents along too.
About 36 minutes’ drive from Newcastle – sleeps up to 4 – pets welcome – indoor pool
Every lodge here comes with a hot tub, and when the weather turns there’s a heated indoor pool, sauna and steam room on site (free for Hoseasons guests). The town is about two miles away, with its abbey, and Hadrian’s Wall is about five miles off, so you can walk a stretch of the Wall without needing a long drive.
About 39 minutes’ drive from Newcastle – sleeps up to 4 – pets welcome – glamping – luxury
Soak with a view of Crimdon Beach from your own veranda. The beach is a few minutes’ walk away, with the England Coast Path running along it, and the park sits beside a nature reserve. Good for couples and small families who’d rather have the sea than the hills. It’s a pet friendly stay too.
About 40 minutes’ drive from Newcastle – sleeps up to 4 – pets welcome – near a beach – golf – romantic
A wooden log cabin style lodge, with a small private garden feel, in the grounds of Percy Woods Holiday Park, looking over the golf course. The hot tub sits on the decked veranda, and the Northumberland coast and its castles are close enough for a day out. Bed linen and towels are included.
For a Friday-night getaway, an hour is about the limit. Beyond that, you’ve spent a fair slice of the evening in traffic, and the whole point is to arrive relaxed. Everything above is under 45 minutes by road, so you can be having a Friday takeaway on the deck rather than still driving. Nice.
Staying longer, say a midweek break or a long weekend? Then go further. A holiday in the Dales feels a world away from the city. Briar Barn in Ireshopeburn, Otters Holt near Staindrop and the big group house Jacob’s Lodge at Eggleston are all about an hour or so from the city. They’re more remote, in the Durham Dales, so they feel like a proper holiday. See our guides to County Durham lodges with hot tubs and Northumberland hot tub lodges for the full choice.
Hexham’s abbey dates back to 674AD, and the market town has independent shops and a good Saturday atmosphere. Walk out along Hadrian’s Wall in Northumberland National Park for sweeping views, then be back in time for the tub at dusk.
Kielder is the largest man-made lake in northern Europe, and the forest around it is a Dark Sky Park. Kielder Observatory runs stargazing evenings, but check its website for the current dates and book ahead, because sessions sell out. Choose a clear, moonless night and avoid midge season in summer.
From the County Durham lodges you can take in Durham Cathedral and Castle, then head west to Hamsterley Forest and Weardale for waymarked walks, or south-west to Teesdale and High Force, England’s largest waterfall by volume. Beamish, the open-air Living Museum of the North, is close to Stackyard, though winter opening days change so check before you set off.
A little further north, Alnwick has the castle and garden, and the coast road runs past long empty beaches. Our guide to Alnwick lodges with hot tubs covers the area properly, and Wooler lodges in Northumberland gets you further up towards the Cheviots.
Plenty of people want a dog friendly hot tub cottage in Newcastle that lets the pet come too, and most of the lodges here do accept pets. Stackyard, Haystax, Heathergate, Sandy Park and Hillside View all welcome them, and the open farmland around Witton Gilbert and Knitsley suits dogs well. Always check the pet terms on each page before you book.
For bigger gatherings, Jacob’s Lodge near Eggleston sleeps up to 16 and has its own hot tub and sauna. Sharing a big lodge between friends is usually the cheapest way to get a private hot tub. Try the calculator below.

Yes. Stackyard, Haystax Holiday Lodges, Heathergate, Sandy Park and Hillside View all welcome pets. Durham Coastal Lodges doesn’t list pets, so check before you book.
At the lodges we’ve featured, yes. Each lodge has its own private hot tub on a deck or veranda, so you aren’t sharing with other guests.
Yes. Otters Holt near Staindrop is a riverside log cabin with a log-fired hot tub, about 50 minutes from Newcastle, and sleeps two.
Heathergate Boutique Holiday Park near Hexham has an indoor pool, sauna and steam room alongside the hot tubs.
Autumn and winter give you the darkest, longest nights. Kielder Observatory runs evening events, so check its website for dates and book early.
A Friday to Sunday stay in a nearby lodge keeps travel time low, so more of your short break is spent actually relaxing. Splitting a lodge between several friends brings the cost per person down too.
