Cottages with Hot Tubs in Berkshire

Berkshire is a top destination for a cottage break with attractions and historic days out like visiting Windsor Castle, walking around Windsor Great Park, or taking the little ones to LEGOLAND Windsor.

There are also plenty of peaceful (not to mention free!) days out too: explore Basildon Park or have a picnic near the River Thames. Pretty villages like Cookham and Hungerford offer a super-chilled vibe and some lovely countryside nearby.

Booking a cottage with a hot tub gives you a fab base to explore the area with plenty of space and rustic charm. Whether you’ve been to Ascot Racecourse or Highclere Castle, soaking in warm water under the stars feels amazing.

Bringing pets? Berkshire has many cottages where dogs are welcome. You’ll find great walking routes around places like Maidenhead and Wokingham. Plus, nearby towns like Newbury and Pangbourne have shops and pubs to explore after a day spent outdoors.
