Things to Do Near Springwood

🍷 Local pubs & restaurants – Enjoy a meal in one of our nearby country pubs or head into York for everything from artisan coffee to cocktails by the river.

🚶‍♀️ Countryside walks – There are lovely walking routes right from the gate. Stroll through the main entrance of the gates when you came in, or book with us to come and say hi to our alpacas, and watch the sunsets roll in.

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.

August is well on its way, and we are carrying out a few maintenance jobs around the shepherds huts. We are very excited to be adding a brand new hot tub to our Jacob Shepherd Hut, with great success with our Cotswold and Herdwick shepherd huts which already have hot tubs. We are very happy with our Roto Spa tub and wanted to get another to match the other two.

We kept getting asked why dont you add one to the ‘sheep’ themed hut. We discussed it and thought why not… Friday 18th August 2023 is the day you can book our Jacob hut with a hot tub, grab a relaxing break or if your think of revisiting try a different hut.

We are very excited for the next few months with changes happening around to make sure our guests have the best experience with the most luxurious huts in York

Welcome and June is nearly over and out… I wanted to share who is behind our fabulous shepherd huts. Myself being Eden runs the shepherd huts, does any admin, maintenance issues and cleaning. While working around her family and looking after the animals the shepherd huts fit in very well. Each week is different, and an experience and we wouldn’t change it.

The huts where designed and styled with help from my parents, who are often around seeing to the animals or walking their dog. They are very passionate about the huts and what we have achieved so far.

We are super proud of the shepherd huts and what we have achieved and wanted to offer that luxury feel when going glamping. We have made the huts ourselves and you won’t find anything on the market that has the finishing touches we provide. Getting many comments that we are a 5* hotel on wheels.

With exciting things in the pipeline in the next couple of months, if you’re looking for a break away in #York take a look at our website for availability. Animals to watch during your stay and you can get up close as an optional extra.

Everything is provided for a relaxing break, you own personal space with seating and a fire pit/bbq outside and two having hot tubs. Or if you are wanting a get together with friends we do get block bookings but you then have your own space as well,

Grab that last minute getaway you wouldn’t be disapointed
