Hot tubs are available in many of the Parkdean Resorts’ lodges, which are spread across the Lake District, Isle of Wight, Dorset, Devon, Lincolnshire, Wales, Essex, Yorkshire, and Scotland.
There is accommodation for larger parties and couples since the lodges can sleep anywhere between two to eight people.
On top of your own private hot tub, you’ll also get access to all the facilities at the holiday parks.
So, you should find restaurants, swimming pools and communal areas to relax in.
The parks offer a range of kid-friendly entertainment options, both during the day and at night, such as high ropes courses, bungee trampolining, laser tag, crazy golf, and kids’ clubs.
Here are some of the best deals we’ve spotted in spring:

3 nights at Carmarthen Bay in South Wales – from £389 per stay
During the summer, prices get significantly higher, with the cheapest stays costing from £798.
However, autumn is also a great time to visit – and prices start from £389 per stay.
That said, we’ve found that prices get lower as your preferred date gets closer, so you might want to keep an eye on the price and book later on.
With deposits starting at just £25 and a monthly payment schedule, you could even secure your holidays without paying it upfront.
However, your departure date must be at least 16 weeks away for the booking to qualify.
