New Year, New Relaxation: 7 Reasons Why a Lodge with Hot Tub Break on the Derbyshire/Leicestershire Border Beats the January Blues
Escape the January blues with a romantic lodge with hot tub break. Countryside views, spa areas, and cosy adult-only lodges make for the perfect getaway.
Why January is Your Secret Weapon for Lodge Escapes
When the last of the tinsel comes down and the weather turns properly grey, January has a way of draining your energy and your mood. But what if, instead of sinking into the post-holiday slump, you treated yourself to a romantic countryside retreat? Somewhere peaceful, scenic, and wrapped in pure comfort?
Right on the Derbyshire and Leicestershire border, you’ll find just that—a collection of luxury, adult-only lodges that offer the perfect escape from the January blues. With steamy hot tubs, crackling log fires, tranquil lake views, and spa-worthy extras, you’ll start your new year in the most relaxing way possible.
Let’s take a look at why booking a hot tub break here might just become your new annual tradition.
1. Start the Year with a Soak, Not Stress
January is a funny month. Everyone’s rushing into resolutions, gym memberships, and productivity goals—but sometimes, what your body and mind really need is rest.
At our adult-only lodge site, rest is exactly what you’ll get.
-
- Private, undercover hot tubs so you can soak in any weather.
-
- Lakeside or countryside views that change beautifully with the season.
-
- A tranquil, secluded setting on the edge of both Derbyshire and Leicestershire, giving you the best of both counties.
Imagine sinking into warm bubbles, sipping a glass of wine, and watching mist roll over the hills—while the rest of the world rushes by.
2. Romance, Reconnection & Recharging
Our lodges are designed with couples in mind—no kids, no distractions, just you and your favourite person in a peaceful, private space.
Whether you’re celebrating something special or simply craving time away together, you’ll find everything you need for:
-
- A romantic weekend getaway
-
- A honeymoon-style staycation
-
- Or a quiet break to reconnect without phones, chores, or chaos.
With dreamy lighting, plush interiors, and spa-style features, it’s easy to forget you’re just a short drive from the bustle of everyday life.
3. Spa-Style Extras, Right at Your Doorstep
Some of our lodges take the luxury even further with serious spa vibes. You don’t need to leave your lodge to indulge in a full wellness weekend.
Just picture this:
-
- A traditional wood-fired sauna to detox and unwind.
-
- An outdoor plunge bath to boost circulation and leave you feeling brand new.
-
- Roll-top baths perfect for bubbling soaks.
-
- Outdoor showers for that invigorating splash of cold.
-
- And even pool tables for a bit of fun.
Every detail is crafted to make your break feel special—because you deserve more than “just another weekend away.”
4. Undercover Hot Tubs = All Weather, All Year
We know the British weather can be unpredictable. That’s why every lodge has a covered private hot tub, so you can soak away stress no matter the forecast.
Whether it’s drizzling, snowing, or clear and frosty, your hot tub is ready and waiting:
-
- Watch the rain fall from the comfort of the warm water.
-
- Look out over the frosty countryside as steam rises around you.
-
- Soak under the stars on crisp, silent winter nights.
It’s the kind of experience that sticks with you long after your stay.
5. Dog-Friendly Lodges for Your Adventure Buddy
Your dog deserves a holiday too, right? 
We offer pet-friendly lodges where your four-legged friend can join the adventure. With scenic walking routes, peaceful woodland paths, and lots of fresh country air, it’s a dream break for dogs and their humans.
6. Perfectly Placed Between Derbyshire & Leicestershire
Being based on the Derbyshire/Leicestershire border means you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to day trips, countryside walks, and cute local towns.
Here’s what’s nearby:
-
- Peak District National Park – For stunning hikes and views.

7. A Mindful Start to 2026
Why spend January battling diets and deadlines when you could:
-
- Breathe in fresh country air.
-
- Sleep in late and wake up to peaceful views.
-
