Lodges With Hot Tubs Near Plymouth

Couple relaxing by a steaming hot tub at a lodge near Plymouth at dusk

If you live in Plymouth, or you’re driving in from further afield, you don’t need a long journey to get a lodge with a private hot tub. Some of the best ones are a 20 to 40 minute drive away, across the Tamar in Cornwall or out towards Dartmoor and the South Hams. That makes them ideal for a Friday-night stay in the countryside: finish work, pack the car, and be soaking under the stars before bedtime.

Below are real lodges and holiday parks near Plymouth, with honest drive times, who they suit and what’s close by. Whether you searched for hot tub lodges near Plymouth because you want a quick weekend away or a proper week by the sea, you’ll find something that fits. If you’d like to see everything available, browse our Devon lodges with hot tubs and Cornwall lodges with hot tubs pages.

Things to do around Plymouth

Staying close to the city means you can mix a lodge break with a day out. Here’s what’s worth your time.

Plymouth Hoe and the waterfront

The Hoe looks out over Plymouth Sound and is open all day and free to visit. Smeaton’s Tower, the old Eddystone lighthouse, can be climbed in the season, and Tinside Lido, a 1930s Art Deco seawater pool, is open in the warmer months. Check the official Visit Plymouth website before you go. Opening times change!

The Barbican and Royal William Yard

The Barbican is Plymouth’s old port, full of galleries, cafes and seafood restaurants, and it’s where the Mayflower set sail in 1620. Royal William Yard is a restored naval victualling yard with waterfront places to eat, a good choice for a celebration meal before you drive back to your lodge. The National Marine Aquarium and Plymouth Gin Distillery are both close by too.

Coast, beaches and walks

Whitsand Bay, on the Cornish side, has miles of sand and the South West Coast Path runs right along it. On the Devon side, Wembury and Bovisand are easy coastal walks. For something wilder, the national park is on Plymouth’s doorstep, with tors, rivers and woodland walks that suit a muddy-boots day followed by a long soak in the hot tub.

Further afield

The Eden Project is an easy day trip from the area, and the Tamar Valley has cycling trails, orchards and the National Trust’s Cotehele house. For more lodge ideas along the coast, see our guide to Devon coastal cottages with hot tubs.
