From the serene beauty of Dedham Vale to the action-packed Southend-on-sea, You&#8217;re spoiled for choice on the kind of holiday you can book at the end of each week.<\/p>\n<h3>How to pick a cabin for the weekend<\/h3>\n<p>We&#8217;ve created this <strong>holiday-finder tool<\/strong> to quickly be able to pick out lodges that have bubbly hot tubs that are available over the weekend in and around Essex. It&#8217;s broken down into months and you can choose to stay Friday to Sunday, coming back on Monday. Or you can go for a shorter break returning on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Deals &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lodgeswithhottubs.org.uk\/special-offers\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Special Offers\">special offers<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; Hopefully, there will be some special offers and last-minute style deals to be had at the time you&#8217;re checking as we like to show good value for money too. We know a lot of people have found some nifty cheaper staycations through our deal tool!<\/p>\n<h3>What to pack on a shorter lodge break<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The fun stuff! Food and drink!<\/strong> &#8211; There&#8217;s nothing like loading the car up with all your favourite nibbles and treats. A trip to the supermarket on the way can save you packing the car and will mean your food is kept nice and fresh. The last time I was away for a weekend lodge break, the family in the next lodge got a shop delivered directly to their lodge. Genius!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pack stuff you can&#8217;t buy in the shops<\/strong> &#8211; Medication, clothing, any toiletries you need, cash and driver&#8217;s licence.<\/li>\n<li><strong>USB plugs, Phone cables and other chargers<\/strong> &#8211; The number of times I&#8217;ve been on a UK break and forgotten something like a charger or a USB cable. and it&#8217;s expensive to buy a replacement just for one weekend. I wouldn&#8217;t assume a lodge has USB sockets either, so it&#8217;s good to take a pack of them as pretty much everything charges via those.<\/li>\n<li><b>Don&#8217;t stress if you forget something <\/b>&#8211; Essex is still in the UK and you&#8217;ll be able to buy anything you need at a local village or sometimes in the onsite shop (if they have one). You can also sample some of the local fresh produce. Essex is famed for its <strong>Jellied Eels<\/strong> (if you&#8217;re feeling adventurous), <strong>Pork Pies and Kedgeree<\/strong> &#8211; a dish made with smoked haddock.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Swimming costumes<\/strong> &#8211; Another easy one to overlook but all weekend accommodations here are for hot tubs so remember to pack something to wear while you&#8217;re soaking. Pack swimming trunks and bathing costumes and a spare for the kids as <strong>your life will be hell if it&#8217;s too tight!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are some amazing lodges with hot tubs that make for the perfect weekend break in Essex whether you&#8217;re booking for a family, a group or planning that special romantic hot tub holiday with a loved one.
