Luxury cottages with hot tubs
Imagine dipping into a haven of fizzing bubbles on a starry moonlit night: our luxury cottages with hot tubs are the ultimate in all-round relaxation.
Much has been written about the benefits of water therapy, and the magical and restorative powers it has for soothing aches and pains in both body and mind. There's really no better way to put that to the test than to hire a luxury cottage that has a hot tub, slip beneath the magic bubbles with a glass in hand, and dream the night away with not a care in the world. A weekend break in a luxury house with a stylish hot tub bubbling heartily away can be the perfect touch to a restful escape, catering for anyone in need of some pampering, in-depth relaxation. Luckily, Unique Homestays has several beautiful homes with just such a magical tub in the grounds.
Some are tucked away for peace and privacy, others go all-out rock 'n' roll in style, placed in the middle of the gorgeous grounds with stunning views across rolling landscape. Seasonal hot tubs are a popular choice, and summer is a lovely time to enjoy an outdoor float, but the brave and bold opt for a wintry dip in warm waters, cold air mingling with hot steam to create fluffy clouds all around, tingling the skin and bringing a rosy glow to the surface. Winter gatherings in luxury lodges mean everyone can get in on the act: remember to bring bathrobes, slippers, fizz glasses and essential top-up reserves so no one has to go back to the house for a refill.
