the United Kingdom Holiday Homes with Hot Tubs

Kooky Cabin

• 2 guests

• 1 bedrooms

Layer de la Haye, Colchester

Hidden away next to ancient woodland in rural Essex, this cabin is a British getaway that overflows with quirk and charm. Inside, classically styled furnishings, such as the tufted Chesterfield, oak dining table and the four-poster bed that's come straight out of a fairytale, rub shoulders with the eclectic animal portraits that dot the wall, the antler chandelier and antique-style gramophone — which actually works in case you're in the mood for a boogie.

Sunshine on The Esk

• 10 guests

• 5 bedrooms

Dalkeith, Midlothian

Dating back to 1703, this former millhouse building has the charming appearance of a traditional country house, while the modern interiors and luxurious home comforts create an endlessly relaxing stay for large groups of friends or extended families looking to explore Edinburgh. Using the original raw materials of stone and wood to echo its heritage, and yet keeping things sleek and sophisticated with plenty of contemporary touches, the ground-floor sunroom is perhaps the best example of this beautifully balanced home.

Shakespearean Elegance

• 2 guests

• 1 bedrooms

Bidford-on-Avon, Alcester

Enjoy a romantic stay at this handsome barn conversion, lying at the end of a track, on a family-run arable farm, surrounded by fields – this is a sublime retreat. Relax with a glass of bubbly in the private hot tub with its idyllic views through the farm to the fields beyond (your lovely hosts provide bathrobes and slippers), then savour a barbecue lunch in the sun.
