Lodges with hot tubs are not just for couples and romantic breaks. Families can enjoy hot tub holidays too, combining luxury lodge accommodation with an active holiday park experience.
We have chosen some of our favourite parks below which we think would be perfect for family holidays.
Some have indoor swimming pools and plenty of activities to keep the whole family entertained. And of course, after all the action, you can return to the comfort of your lodge and enjoy a soak in the hot tub!
