ABOUT

SOUTH STUDIO

Light and breezy, South Studio brings a chilled vibe to your stay. The private courtyard has a seating area and hot tub. Once you’ve had your fill of hot tub bubbles, there is a huge corner sofa to lounge on while streaming your favourite shows. WiFi available. You also have the benefit of a fully equipped kitchen, with oven, hob and microwave.

NORTH STUDIO

Gorgeous and sumptuous, North Studio is the place to indulge in some well deserved R&R. There is a private courtyard with seating, and of course your own private hot tub to relax in. If you crave more soaking time, there is a whirlpool bath to enjoy.

The studio has full TV streaming capability and WiFi. You also have the benefit of a fully equipped kitchen, with oven, hob and microwave.

A seasonal Log Burner is available on request – we will build the fire and provide additional logs to burn through the winter evenings for a nominal fee which covers the cleaning, fire lighters and fuel.

On the Doorstep

The lovely and characterful Ravensworth Arms pub is a ten minute walk from Hot Tub Hideaway.

Antony Gormley’s famous Angel of the North is a must see – just a five minute drive away (or you can see a head and a wing from the back garden).

Also a five minute drive away is Team Valley Retail World, which has a great range of shops – you will also pass a Sainsbury’s on the way there).

If you enjoy countryside walks, Lamesley Pastures is beautiful (wellies may be required!). We’re also close to Bowes Railway Path.

TO THE DOORSTEP

ECO

We’re proud to promote holidaying in the UK, or the “staycation”. Who needs to fly when we have all of this here! But we’re also keen to find ways to minimise the environmental impact of hot tub hideaway.

We’ve started to grow a section of garden into a wild one which will support the local wildlife, and are working with a local bee keeper who we hope will set up some hives at the back of the garden. Our very own hot tub honey!

Biodegradable slippers are currently on trial. We provide toiletries for use on site, but stick to large dispensers to reduce plastic single use versions. We’re also researching ways to recycle our used hot tub water – any ideas are welcome.

Really enjoyed our stay here in the South Studio. Beautiful room and excellent hot tub. Nice touch with the welcome hamper and complementary bottle of Prosecco. We were able to order food to our room and meet the driver in the car park. Room is a really good size and very clean. We will definitely stay here again and look forward to trying the North Studio! Dressing down and slippers are provided. I like that there is an outside plug near hot tub.

No reason to give any less stars then I have! Just the fact when you go and have to leave is the worst😂 It is So beautiful inside and out, relaxing and nice to feel far away from Home but actually only being a short car ride away! Definitely will be going again.

Fantastic stay at the hot tub hideaway, the north studio was beautiful, spotlessly clean with a lovely comfy bed. Facilities were plentiful and the hot tub area was cozy, private and a lovely space to relax. Loads of amenities local so great location. Will definitely recommend to others and we will be back ourselves. Thanks for a lovely stay 😊

We had an excellent 1 night stay in the North Studio. Kate welcomed us straight away, showed us to our lodge and was really friendly, knowing we could contact her if we needed anything. It’s really secluded and private which is what we wanted for a relaxed night. Thank you again, Kate!

Excellent communication via email then a friendly text on the day.
Beautiful, well designed space, and thoughtful little touches that instantly create a ‘switch-off’ into relaxation as soon as you walk through the doors. Beautiful grounds too.
We only booked for one night but wish we’d stayed longer and we’ll definitely be back.

Just got back from one night away with my wife. Kate went out of her way to make it extra special accommodating all our needs and requests, including getting us food that was okay with our dietary requirements which was really special of her.
The accommodation was stunning and the hot tub was perfect.

I would recommend it to anyone looking to get a beautiful relaxing break.
