Finding a holiday lodge, cottage or log cabin with a hot tub isn’t as easy as you think. Quick searches across a few holiday lodge websites will uncover 200+ properties in Dorset. And, you’ll have to dig through every single listing to filter out the ones that don’t have a private hot tub...annoying!
We’ve spent the time filtering hot tub breaks on this site, so you don’t have to. Put simply, if a holiday lodge doesn’t have a hot tub, it won’t be listed on this site.
When we started researching Dorset holiday lodges, we used the most popular booking sites. That included the likes of Dorset Cottages, Expedia, Sykes Cottages, Dorset Holiday Lodges, Holiday Cottages, Booking.com and more.
That allowed us to read descriptions (double checking that a hot tub is on site, of course), and compare things such as prices and reviews. After hours of research, this is our favourite hot tub lodge in Dorset, a stunning property with a secluded log cabin feel.
Looking for your own piece of Dorset for your hot tub break, secluded in a log cabin based lodge with a rustic woodland theme? The Retreat Lodge & log cabin should certainly be on your short list, suitable for up to 4 guests and being dog friendly, can accommodate up to two of your four-legged friends too!

The Retreat Lodge is suitable for families, groups of friends, or simply for a couple’s romantic getaway.
The Retreat hot tub accommodation gives you the chance to explore Dorset, but have a rustic log cabin base to come back to, which is absolutely oozing with character.

When people think of Dorset, beaches aren’t the first thing that spring to mind, but there are plenty here, and beautiful ones at that. And one of the most beautiful is the Sandbanks Beach.
Situated at the opening or Poole Harbour (on the English Channel), Sandbanks Beach is a peninsula, known for golden sands and clear waters, not to mention spectacular views.
Looking for a day out with the kids, or time relaxing and getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life? We’d suggest spending a day at Sandbanks Beach.

Owned by the National Trust, Brownsea Island is the perfect location to admire the Purbeck Hills. This island is all about nature. From Red Squirrel in the woodland to Kingfishers in the lagoon, Brownsea has it all, and is the perfect day out for all the family.
Want to check out all of what Brownsea Island has to offer? We’d suggest visiting the National Trust website for more details.
The Jurassic Coast is one of the UK’s natural gems, running from Exmouth to Dorset (a total of 96 miles). So much so that it's classed a World Heritage Site. If the weather allows, we’d really recommend a visit here.
If you want to make the most out of your trip to the Jurassic Coast during your hot tub break in Dorset, we’d highly suggest using the Dorset Tourism website to help plan your day out.
