Family-friendly home rentals with a hot tub

Brockram Barn, Low Ploughlands
Brockram Barn is simply stunning. We had a wonderful family holiday - there was everything we could possibly want, and more! Of course, the hot tub and table tennis were fun extras, but Harriet had thought of everything and equipped the home to an extremely high standard and, as a family of five, we had plenty of space. We loved the area and did many of the suggested walks and activities, plus a few more! It was so good to be amongst the sheep, surrounded by green fields and wildlife with beautiful, ever-changing views. Thank you, Harriet and family, for a truly great time!

Stunning Character Property with hot tub & SAUNA
We stayed at this beautiful house for a hen party with a group of 10 and had an absolutely amazing time! The space was perfect for our celebration—spacious, stylish, and incredibly comfortable. The large living and dining areas made it easy for us all to gather, play games, and enjoy meals together. The hot tub and sauna were an added bonus. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, and the bedrooms were all a really good size with comfy beds. Highly recommend for a group getaway or special occasion.

Long Valley - Windermere incl hot tub Clover
Beautiful views, friendly staff and everything in Yurt. Will helped us out

High Biggin - 5 Star Gold Award Holiday Cottage
The location was amazing and the views were spectacular. This home was exactly what it said on the tin. We were all blown away by it and had beautiful weather to make the most of the outdoor area. The only thing we did notice was that there wasn’t enough wine glasses & champagne flutes. Not ideal when there was 8 women so we had to use half pint glasses. We could have also done with more dishwasher tablets to last the stay. Apart from that it was perfect. Thank you.

Canny Brow Barn
We had a great time at Canny Brow Barn. Everything you could possible think of or need for your stay, Ian and Anne-Marie had thought about, from a cocktail shaker to cleaning products to games. Would highly recommend!

The Weathercock Sedbergh - 19 miles to Windermere.
Beautiful location, lots of lovely additions such as bathrobes for all. Ideal for a quiet getaway or a place to chill after exploring Cumbria and/or Yorkshire.

Moss Side Farm Cottage, Hot Tub, Secure Garden.
the cottage stay at moss side farm was beautiful. surrounds were so tranquil and relaxing. the cottage was well.presented and had everything we needed. there were a couple.of issues with the hottub however this was rectified immediately and other solutions presented which was greatly appreciated. will be returning 100%.

Mill Barn (Hot Tub)
We spent a wonderful week in Mill Barn. Lots of small touches like flowers on arrival, brownies, milk in the fridge and the fire set up made the place really welcoming and inviting. Nice walk to the local pub but be prepared for the hill back up. Overall would highly recommend.

We needed a quiet peaceful location and got exactly that. The accommodation was immaculately clean. We would definitely come back. The hosts are excellent.

Oban Ireleth RoadIreleth Askam-in-Furness LA16 7JD
I was attending a local show & the bungalow was in an ideal location that suited my needs perfectly. Karen was a lovely host, very helpful & friendly. The electrics tripped out on the 2nd evening I was there & they came & sorted it very quickly. We thought it might have been the electric kettle that caused the problem & the next morning it was replaced with a new one. I was hoping to book the bungalow again next year but unfortunately it won't be available.

Quirky, modern, 2 bed cottage with parking
Very enjoyable stay in this cottage, hidden away in the centre of Keswick. The accommodation has everything you need and was very clean. All the windows opened (always a plus). The location couldn't be more convenient for Keswick... literally 2 minutes walk to restaurants and shops. Onsite parking is a bonus in Keswick although I did find it a bit tight to manage the turn under the arch with my Audi Q5. Smaller cars should find it easier. Make sure you follow Sandra's (very clear) directions to the letter. Not only does she ensure you navigate the one-way system correctly, she will also direct away from the crowded side streets which can be a nightmare with cars parked continuously on both sides of the road. If you want to stay in town this place is ideal for you. Sandra answered all my questions promptly and seemed genuinely concerned to ensure we had a good time.

Chapel House Cottage
I had a wonderful stay at Sharu's place! The space was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. Sharu was a responsive and thoughtful host, making check-in smooth and hassle-free. The neighborhood was quiet, beautiful and conveniently located near everything I needed. I’d definitely recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area and would happily stay here again!

Romantic, quirky cottage, private garden, parking.
Zoe was great in communicating and the property is indeed a rare find. The garden was unique and our Labrador loved it.

Lina'sLogByre Penrith Cumbria sleeps 1-4
Me and a group of friends stayed here over Easter and it was the most incredible place. Anton and Penny were so helpful and lovely. The complimentary breakfast and food at the pub was so delicious and the yurt was so cosy, clean and well put together. Would definitely come back to this Airbnb. Penrith was a 15 minute drive away and the village was very picturesque. Would recommend this place to anyone wanting a relaxing stay with some very helpful hosts

Idyllic lake district farm retreat caravan.
Amazing few days away! Easy check in via lockbox, into a lovely, clean place, in a nice quiet location. Our host was very communicative, and helpful leading up to and throughout our stay - especially when suggesting local walks etc. The kids loved it too! Will be going back 😊.

Detached cottage/barn, sleeps 16
A fantastic property that had stunning views. The facilities were perfect for our group, lovely kitchen amenities, BBQ and lovely fireplace. The bedrooms were spacious and beds were comfortable and very clean. Fraser and Lynda gave us plenty of advice about the surrounding area and were very welcoming hosts!

Thanks John for a excellent stay, your place was perfect for all our needs

Luxury 4 Star Cosy Lakeland Cottage
Well what a gem. This is perfectly located cottage for walking from the door. We had fabulous ☀️weather but I imagine it would be super cosy in the winter too. Kitchen has everything you’d need, beds super comfortable, co-op in the village & a good-grub pub. Can’t recommend this more & we can’t wait to book again.

Styhead Tarn Lodge - Neaum Cragg
Great lodge situated right at the top of the site, within 2 minutes of a small walk with panoramic views of the valleys. Bedding was super soft & so were the towels, comfy bed, great sleep. Beautiful surroundings to wake up to and sit outdoors with a coffee listening to the birds. Dog friendly! Comfortable sofa! Lots of utensils and plates.

Boutique Lakeland couples retreat with hot tub
Had a lovely 3 nights stay, hosts were friendly and informative, house was spotlessly clean and spacious, everything you could really need was there, hot tub in the evenings after a day out was the perfect way to unwind, made a great base for exploring the lakes, hope to come back soon!

Spacious Cottage in the Lake District 3 Bedrooms
We had a great stay at Whitbarrow. We have visited the resort before on many occasions. We had some minor issues in the accommodation which were swiftly resolved by Seasons staff. Kal and Anita were great to communicate with leading up to and during the stay also. Very responsive and helpful. Good facilities onsite too and helpful staff. Thank you

Blelham Tarn (Rustic cabin in tranquil woodland)
The most amazing location, cabin is wonderful has EVERYTHING you could ever need, there’s not many places I could stay a week but we could here! We will be back, the pool is a great addition for children also. Thank you for a wonderful stay in your cabin ⭐️

Langdale Cottage - 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms
This place was beyond our expectations. Immaculately presented, super clean, tidy, jaw dropping views. I can't fault it in any way and I can't rate it highly enough. Will definately look to return in the future. Stunning!
