Lodges with Hot Tubs in Thirsk

Hollybrook Lodges, Easingwold

Sitting midway between York and Thirsk, these lodges with private hot tubs make a secluded, peaceful base surrounded by open countryside.

It's a small and select park, so it feels properly tucked away. Four of you can sleep comfortably, and dogs are welcome too.

Nothing beats bubbling away under the stars with a glass of something cold after a day exploring the Vale of York.

With York's stunning cathedral and shops just a short drive away, you'd be mad not to explore a bit. Ripon's close by and the Yorkshire Moors and Dales are your playground for hiking and cycling.

Scarborough and Whitby are both doable for a day trip.

Couples and small families will love the relaxed pace here, and guests rate it highly too.

Cedar Retreats, West Tanfield

This pet-friendly spot is perfect for when you want your dog to join the hot tub party (though maybe keep them out of the actual tub). Six of you can pile in comfortably.

The setting is a beautiful lakeside one, and the stylish lodges have private decking areas and hot tubs. It's a lovely place for a morning coffee or evening drinks under the stars.

The hot tub is the star of the show. After a day out at Brimham Rocks or hiking the Pennine Way, those bubbles will feel like heaven.

It's a superb base for exploring the very best that North Yorkshire and the Dales have to offer, with the towering Malham Cove within reach for a day out.

Looking to plan your assault on the Yorkshire Dales or a day trip to the sandy beaches of Scarborough? It's a good place to start from.

South View Retreat, Great Busby

Fancy something a bit different? These quirky lodges for two to four people sit among the rolling green hills of Great Busby, in the North Yorkshire countryside, and offer a bespoke glamping experience.

Four of you can sleep comfortably, making it perfect for a couple or small family, and pets are welcome too.

With nature all around, it's a peaceful rural retreat, and the hot tub is an absolute winner with grown-ups after a day out walking.

Thirsk is a proper Yorkshire market town worth exploring, but you've also got York and Ripon within reach for cathedrals, history and shopping.

We think the Dales are particularly gorgeous in the autumn when the heather's in bloom.
