2. HOT TUB LODGES IN SCOTLAND, Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park

The wide open spaces of the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, with its huge expanses of water, soaring hills and mountains, and endless Scottish scenery, makes a great destination for anyone seeking to get away from it all. Whether you'd rather head out onto the lochs for boating, fishing and sightseeing, enjoy the countless hiking and cycling trails, or even 'bag a Munro' (climb a Scottish mountain taller than 3000ft), this vast unspoilt area of glorious Scotland is hard to beat.

The rural surroundings don't mean you have to settle for anything less than 5-star luxury, though, when you book a break in one of our Hot Tub Lodges in Scotland, high-end accommodation wonderfully located amid stunning Scottish countryside. These plush, welcoming properties each come with their own private hot tub, perfect for soothing your aching muscles after a long day of exploring the national park, or just for enjoying ultimate relaxation without going far from the lodge, depending on how active you want to get during your break.

3. CORNWALL COUNTRY COTTAGES, Bodmin Moor, Cornwall
