Glamping with a Hot Tub: The Ultimate Springwood Experience

Posted on June 22, 2025 by - Uncategorised

Why Choose a Hot Tub Hut?

Here’s what our guests love most about glamping with a hot tub at Springwood:

🌙 Stargazing at night – With minimal light pollution, our skies are clear and peaceful. Watch the stars from your tub with a glass of wine in hand.


🛀 Complete privacy – Each hot tub is tucked beside your hut in its own outdoor area. Just you, the warm water, and the view.


💆‍♀️ The ultimate wind-down – After a walk through the Yorkshire countryside or a day exploring York, a soak in the tub is the perfect way to relax.


💑 Romantic atmosphere – Soft lighting, bubbles, and total stillness make for a truly intimate setting — ideal for anniversaries or just a little “us time.”


🌿 All-year-round luxury – Hot tubs aren’t just for summer. Crisp spring evenings and frosty autumn nights are even better when you’re soaking warm outside.

How It Works

Adding a hot tub to your stay is easy — just select the hot tub hut we have either – Jacob, Cotswold and Herdwick with a hot tub. We’ll have it warm and ready for your arrival and no maintenance required from you, with clear instructions and all the little touches taken care of.

Each hot tub is electric, easy to use with fresh water. They’re easy to use, clean, and surrounded by beautiful countryside.

Don’t Forget to Bring…

If you’re booking a hot tub stay, we recommend packing:

  • A warm dressing gown or hoodie for stepping in and out (we do offer robes for hire on our optional extras)

  • Flip flops or easy slip-on shoes

  • A bottle of your favourite drink (plastic glasses provided!)

  • A playlist if you want a little background vibe (though many guests choose the sound of silence and owls!)

The Springwood Hot Tub Experience

Our guests tell us it’s one of their favourite parts of the whole experience — and once you’re in, with the stars above and steam rising into the night, you’ll know exactly why.

So if you’re planning a glamping break with a hot tub in Yorkshire, don’t miss the chance to add that little bit of luxury to your stay. You won’t regret it.

Great stay! I stayed here for my 30th birthday with my girlfriend & it was so lovely. Not only decorating it with birthday banners & shaping the towels into the number 30, we were welcomed with a clean, bright & cosy hut to spend a few days in. With great views & a hot tub to relax in, it was the perfect treat. Would definitely recommend!
