3 of the Best Hotels with Hot Tubs in Dorset
For those searching for a bucolic idyll, far from the madding crowds, we'd suggest you look at Dorset. This county seems to have missed out on the majority of the traffic that heads straight past and on to Devon and Cornwall. Yet here you'll find beautiful countryside and a stunning coastline, three quarters of which is a World Heritage Site. Our recommendations for the best hotels with hot tubs in Dorset, should satisfy those looking for a chic seaside vibe or those seeking a traditional country house feel.
If romance is on your mind and privacy is what you want, you'll have to book Summer Lodge's Ivy Cottage. However if you can't stretch to that (prices start at £655 per night B&B), the hotel also has a spa where you'll find a hot tub for all to use.
Our other two recommendations are located in the increasingly trendy Christchurch, a great place for a short romantic break with plenty to do and see on the doorstep. Our hotels don't offer private tubs, but you'll find them in top notch spas - perfect for a pampering weekend.

The Best Hotels with Private Hot Tubs in Dorset
Summer Lodge in Eveshot Dorset, is a Grade II heritage-listed county house hotel surrounded by lovely gardens and spectacular “Hardy” countryside.

Book the Ivy Cottage, which has a private outdoor hot tub.
The Best Spa Hotels with Hot Tubs in Dorset
The Captain’s Club Hotel & Spa is on the bank of the River Stour in Christchurch, just before the estuary, so the views are fantastic, especially from the larger suites which have private balconies and fully equipped kitchens. The rooms are very nice too, and there’s a very good restaurant, along with a top of the range spa.
Christchurch Harbour Hotel and Spa is a newly refurbished 64 room hotel with a pampering spa and wonderful views of Christchurch Harbour and beyond. This is a sophisticated take on the classic seaside hotel with a glamorous bar for pre-dinner drinks, and the Upper Deck restaurant, with its wonderful views and equally wonderful seafood menu. The spa has an extensive menu and facilities to match.
