Pet Friendly Lodges with Hot Tubs

Booking pet friendly lodges with hot tubs means the whole gang comes along: you in the bubbles, the dog snoring on the deck with a chew, and nobody at home worrying about kennels. Every dog friendly lodge below has a private hot tub and welcomes pets, so the sofa-and-lead part of the holiday is sorted before you’ve even packed. Some are luxury lodges with log burners, others are simple cabins in quiet countryside, and a couple come with a secure garden that lets the dog roam while you soak. Better still, you can have both.

Take a long walk, come back, pull the cover off the tub. That’s the whole idea.

How many dogs are allowed? Is the garden enclosed? Can pets go upstairs? We’ve covered all of that below, with real dog friendly lodges from around the UK, from Cornwall to Scotland.

Which dog friendly lodges with hot tubs can you book right now?

Here are five holiday lodges and cabins from our live listings, spread across the country. Each one takes pets and has its own private hot tub, so you’re not queuing for a shared pool with a wet spaniel. Several sit in open countryside with views of fields or woodland, and the dog friendly lodges here suit anything from a cosy weekend to a week with the in-laws.

What should a dog friendly lodge have for your dog?

Pets welcome on the listing is the start, not the finish.

Before you book, look for the details that make a week with a dog easy rather than stressful. A fenced, secure area matters most if your dog is a runner, and a lodge near a pub that welcomes dogs makes the evenings easier. Here’s what to check:

• An enclosed garden or fenced deck, so you can sit in the hot tub while the dog potters about safely.
• An outdoor tap or hose for muddy paws after a woodland walk.
• A clear dog limit. Most lodges take one or two dogs, and a few larger properties allow more.
• Any extra fee. Some owners charge nothing, others ask for roughly £20 to £30 per dog, so check the listing.
• Rules on furniture and bedrooms, plus whether dogs can be left alone for short periods.
• A pub or shop within walking distance that lets dogs in.

Where are the best places for lodge holidays with dogs?

Coast, fells or forest? The answer depends on your dog as much as you. A spaniel who lives for the sea will be happiest in Cornwall; a collie who wants to run all day might prefer the Lake District or the Peak District.

Cornwall first. Bude has sandy beaches a short drive from several of the lodges above, and the coast path gives you miles of clifftop walking. Beach rules change, though: many Cornish beaches restrict dogs in daytime hours through the summer, usually from around 1 July to 31 August, and some Blue Flag beaches run the restriction into September. Check Cornwall Council’s current list before you set off, as the details change year to year.

Prefer the hills? Our guides to dog friendly Lake District accommodation with hot tubs and dog friendly Yorkshire stays cover fell walks, dog-welcoming pubs and the places where you’ll need a lead because of livestock.

Closer to home? There’s a pet friendly lodge in the East of England too, where flat footpaths and quiet lanes suit older dogs.

What does it cost to take a dog on a lodge break?

Quite often, nothing extra.

Some lodges include a dog in the booking, while others add a per-dog fee for the stay, so read the booking terms on each lodge page. A second dog may cost more, and some owners cap the number at two. If you’re set on log cabins with hot tubs and have two big dogs, check the sleeping and floor space too, because a small cabin can feel tight once the beds are down.

Our pet friendly cottages with hot tubs guide is handy if a lodge is full for your dates, as a cottage with a hot tub can make a similar week.
