Pod Camping With Hot Tubs

Hot Tub Pods…Over 50 For You To Pick From

Fun, different and as close to ‘camping’ as many want to get. Pods have popped up all over the UK and offer a different way to spend a few nights.

From basic pods with a real back to nature feel to the pods with many mod cons there is a pod for all wants and needs.

Here you will find many pods and of course all with hot tubs.

A Break Away In Your Own Pod

Your own small space. There’s something definitely cool about pods. Set in remote areas with nature all around you. The only disturbance is from the birds singing and the kettle whistling.

A few days away to relax and unwind. Head back into normal daily life rejuvenated…with a few stories to tell from your experience.

An experience…and a cosy one at that!
A mini cabin or a posh tent…perhaps a bit of both
Usually remote locations which are perfect for that get away from it all break
Ideal for romantic breaks
Dog friendly pods are available

Small, Cosy & Under The Stars

You’ve been before and want to do it all again or you’ve seen some pictures on social media. Taking a few days away from it all in a pod which has a hot tub has become a very popular and enjoyable experience.

Typically located in rural areas. Think on farmland and small bits of land which have been turned into glamping sites. You usually won’t have many human neighbours but you will have the surrounding wildlife and a views. Toggle the alarm clock off, as it’s likely to be replaced by birds chirping to start your day.

Types

Your own small home from home with the addition of your very own hot tub.

Staying in a pod is an experience in itself before your holiday has even begun. Carefully constructed and laid out to maximise the space inside. You’ll likely be amazed how so much can be included whilst still maintaining a ‘spacious’ feel.

With pods there are a range or differences. You’ll have the pods which are well equip with many of the home comforts you are used to. From a hairdryer, fridge to a working shower. And of course, a toilet.

Then there are the pods which have less. These are more back to basics and essentially ‘camping’ in a cool pod. There is no electricity supply and no inside toilet or shower. There will be communal showers and toilets. For eating it’s cooking on a bbq or eating out.

There are many pods in between these examples.

Maybe you’re someone who can’t leave their creature comforts and the thought of an outside toilet horrifies you…well, there’s no need panic. When browsing you can see from the pics and read the description to make sure you have a pod which ticks all your boxes.

Similar story if you’re looking for a ‘bare bones’ experience. There’s no need to book a pod with all the bells and whistles as you’ll only be overpaying for what you want.

Whichever ‘type’ of pod experience you are looking for it can be found.

Food

As you’ll be familiar with self-catering is just that. Pack the car with some goodies before you leave and top up at the local shops. Or some variation of this. With pods it’s no different, but there are a couple of things you may want to consider.

First thing is, even if your pod is not super small you will still be very restricted on space. Best to pack ‘light’ or think about what food you could keep in the car to top up your pod during your stay. For foods that need to be refrigerated then it’s best to pick up these as close to your pod as possible. Unless you have your own means of keeping the food chilled in a refrigeration box or similar.

Second is the place you are staying may offer food. Things like a breakfast hamper or lunch box. These are ingredients delivered to your pod or available to pick up, depending on how the accommodation owners run things. From here you can store, cook and eat.
If this type of food set up is available then you can make your planning and packing a little easier as you won’t have to take as much.

Hot Tubs

Many people who want to enjoy a pod getaway also want a pod with a hot tub. And as you’re here there’s a good chance you are wanting this also.

Before you book your preferred pod there is one main thing to consider when it comes to the hot tub. That thing to consider is the type of hot tub.

Cottages and lodges typically come with electric hot tubs. It isn’t much of a consideration when booking this type of accommodation. However, with pods you’ll find it is quite evenly split by electric hot tubs and wood-fired hot tubs.

There are quite big differences between electric and wood-fired. If you want the more ‘typical’ hot tub experience where the water, once up to temperature stays hot and ready for you to hop into at a moment’s notice – then electric hot tubs are for you.

Should you want a wood-fired then they offer quite a different experience. You will need to heat the water by burning logs. Each time you wish to use the tub you will need to heat the water. It can be time consuming but these types of hot tubs are becoming more popular and many people say great things about using them for relaxation.

The electric tubs are typically square or circular and have a plastic look on the outside. The wood-fired tubs are almost always wooden in appearance.

Time To Choose Your Pod

Pods offer a cool and different experience. But this isn’t a one off been there and done that kind of experience. Many people get hooked and go time and time again to pods. Usually more affordable and in locations where you don’t always find other accommodations means there is such to attract people back to this type of getaway.

With more and more pods now having a hot tub this adds that little bit more to the overall holiday. A small home from home, peaceful locations and the relaxation and fun from time spent in the hot tub…what’s not to like.

If you haven’t yet tried a pod break and after reading all what we have to say, as well as seeing some of the accommodations available and you think a pod break could be for you, then go ahead and take a look.

Perhaps you’re back for more? If so, you will likely know what you want. Either way we hope you find your ideal pod, have a great time and make some memories to cherish.
