8 of the Best Hotels with Hot Tubs in West Sussex

South Lodge

Just over an hour from London, West Sussex is perfect for a romantic tryst away from the capital. The countryside is beautiful: rolling fields giving way to the glorious South Downs, which in turn lead down to the south coast. There's plenty to do too: historic houses and gardens, pretty towns filled with antique shops to browse and the great outdoors to explore either on two wheels or two feet. Our selection of the best hotels with hot tubs in West Sussex are a charming collection of predominantly country house hotels which will make your getaway that much more enjoyable. If you want the privacy of your very own hot tub, you'll need to head to South Lodge, just outside Horsham (book the Godman Suite or Farriers Suite and you'll be rewarded with a 15m2 private terrace and a hot tub for up to four). The other proprties we have selected have hot tubs attached to their spas. But don't let that spoil the mood — they're all romantic spots, with gourmet cuisine and superb facilities.

For a private hot tub

South Lodge Hotel

  • South Lodge Hotel near Horsham, is a classic country house retreat set on 93 acres of park and woodland, with views over the South Downs. It’s also got a Michelin-starred restaurant. And 89 sumptuous rooms and suites. And if you book the Godman or Farriers Suite you will have your own private terrace with a hot tub.

For a country house hotel

  Park House Hotel

  • Park House Hotel is a timeless family hotel in the heart of the South Downs National Park. There are 21 classically styled, comfortable rooms, a popular restaurant, grass tennis courts, a croquet lawn, pools indoor and out, a spa with a steam room and sauna, and a professionally designed pitch and putt golf course.
  • Ockenden Manor is an historic manor house hotel surrounded by beautiful tranquil gardens. The hotel has just 28 rooms and suites, plus there’s also an indoor and outdoor pool with a spa and a Michelin-starred restaurant.

For a romantic stay

  • Midhurst’s Spread Eagle Hotel and Spa is a handsome, medieval inn with 39 rooms complete with four-poster beds, a contemporary spa and a gourmet restaurant. Mostly spacious rooms have carved four-poster beds and separate snugs. Steeped in history, this large, imposing building dates back to 1430. Not surprisingly stairs creak, corridors slant under low beams and there’s a real sense of cloak and dagger heritage within the oak panelled walls through which various dignitaries have passed including Admiral Nelson and Queen Elizabeth I. Now there’s also an indoor pool, plus a spa with a hot tub.

For a spa hotel

The Goodwood Hotel

  • The Alexander House Hotel & Utopia Spa is a boutique-style country house hotel set on 120 acres of parkland and gardens. The high ceilings and classic feel of the handsome old building blend seamlessly with the new wing, which expanded the tally of well-furnished rooms to 38 and added an impressive spa and pool. The champagne bar and restaurant are both elegant, and the service is excellent.
  • The Goodwood Hotel is an elegant country retreat on the Goodwood Estate, so you have access to two golf courses, a spa and health club - which hotel tubs, and a choice of restaurants. There are 91 rooms - all smart, but in quite a range of shapes and sizes, some with private sitting rooms and patio terraces.
  • Bailiffscourt Hotel & Spa is an atmospheric mock medieval house with an award-winning spa and 30 acres of private parkland, with direct access to the beach. There are 39 large rooms with high, beamed ceilings and antique four-poster beds and a sumptuous dining room. There’s a wooden hot tub outside, but indoors there’s a spa pool, so it’s the best of both worlds.

For a hideaway B&B

Duck Lodge

  • The Duck Lodge B&B in Pyecombe, is a charming log cabin which sleeps four guests. You’re close to the South Downs National Park, you’re provided with provisions for a Continental Breakfast, and you’ve access to a hot tub.
