There’s something special about an autumn stay in the British countryside. Crisp days, golden woodland and cosy evenings create the perfect setting for slowing down and enjoying a little time away.
Book an autumn lodge holiday, and you can make the most of the season with country walks, welcoming pubs and plenty of fresh air. Better still, choose a lodge with a private sauna and hot tub, where you can warm up and unwind after a day of exploring.
From romantic retreats for two to family-friendly lodges with space to relax, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite lodges with hot tubs and saunas for an autumn escape.

Lodge parks with saunas and hot tubs
If you're looking for a little more than a private place to soak after a day outdoors, these lodge parks combine the comforts of a hot tub and sauna with the added appeal of on-site facilities and a choice of accommodation.
Weybread Lakes Lodges, Norfolk/Suffolk Borders | Sleeps 2
Escape to Weybread Lakes, set along the Norfolk/Suffolk border, where these exclusive one-bedroom lodges combine elegant interiors with peaceful lakeside surroundings. With super king-size beds, tranquil waterside views and a focus on rest and relaxation, it's an intimate retreat.
Weybread Lakes Lodges comprises five exclusive lodges, and two of these, Heron Lodge and Kingfisher Lodge, feature both private saunas and private hot tubs. Book a weekend retreat here, and you can while away the hours on your spacious lakeside deck: fishing, firing up the BBQ and enjoying an evening of self-care under the stars.
Thompson Hall Retreat, Norfolk | Sleeps 2
Set within the heart of King Edward VIII Wood, Norfolk, this beautiful collection of charming retreats offers an enchanting atmosphere for visitors. Located in a peaceful meadow, the Thompson Hall Retreat shepherd huts are tucked away under lofty canopies and starlit skies.
The thoughtfully considered accommodation is made up of two distinct sections: a family setting and the Spa Lodges. Luxurious and unique, Firefly Spa Lodge and Dragonfly Spa Lodge both feature a private hot tub and sauna, ideal for those cool, early autumn evenings, after a day of exploring nearby Thetford Forest.
Athelington Hall Lodges | Sleeps 2
Those looking to escape the daily bustle are sure to find sanctuary - and plenty of luxury - at Athelington Hall Lodges, a collection of lodges set within the beautiful, rambling estate of Atherlington Hall, Suffolk. A historic location, the estate is still a working farm and, in turn, boasts acres of open fields, as well as an ancient 17th-century moat.
Home to a collection of 17 holiday lodges of varying sizes, those seeking an intimate retreat with luxurious facilities will find exactly what they are after in Rose Lodge, Walnut Lodge and Cedar Lodge. All three of these artfully designed abodes feature in-room saunas and private hot tubs on the deck, so you can indulge in spa treatments without ever leaving your accommodation.
Bluewood Lodge Park, Cotswolds | Sleeps 2
Bluewood Lodges offers a peaceful Cotswolds escape, set amongst the bluebell woods near Kingham. Boasting stylish lodges, private outdoor hot tubs and easy access to picturesque villages and attractions, it’s a great base for a weekend of exploring local sights like Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on-the-Water, before returning to a luxurious cabin.
The location features 14 well-appointed lodges with hot tubs; however, only one boasts the added luxury of a private sauna too: Valentine Lodge is a romantic escape that offers all you need for a serene and cosy weekend for two. Spend your days exploring the pretty Cotswold scenery and your evenings treating yourselves to a well-deserved sauna and soak amongst the trees.
More private sauna and hot tub lodges
If you're looking for a more intimate escape, these individual lodges offer the same blissful combination of a private sauna and hot tub, with plenty of peaceful countryside to explore beyond your doorstep.
