If you, like us, tend to click ‘hot tub’ whenever you’re browsing for a UK staycation, then this list of options near Greater Manchester should tick a few boxes for you.
While we can never guarantee good weather here in Britain, none of that matters once you submerge yourself in hot, bubbly water with a glass of cold bubbly in your hand.
Luckily for us Mancs, we have the Peak District, Lake District and Yorkshire Dales all right on our doorstep (not to mention all the beautiful countryside in Lancashire, Cheshire, North Wales and beyond), and there are plenty of places you can stay with hot tubs.
Did you know that Hoseasons, which has holiday parks, lodges, cottages, and caravan holidays right across the UK, has the largest collection of hot tub holidays in the entire country?
So you can quit searching high and low for your perfect staycation and sink your teeth into the list below, right in time for the August bank holiday.
10 of the best hot tub holidays near Greater Manchester
Charlesworth Lodges
On the edge of the magnificent Peak District National Park you’ll find Charlesworth Lodges, a collection of eight beautiful lodges decorated with modern but cosy interiors.
When you stay at these perfect rural retreats, you’ll have moorland walks and postcard-perfect villages right on your doorstep.
Then you can, of course, unwind in your own private hot tub outside your lodge at the end of a day exploring.
