Group Escape Houses says private hot tubs are now the most requested feature for large group accommodation in the Lake District.

Group Escape Houses, which specialises in large group holiday accommodation in the Lake District, says private hot tubs have become the most requested feature for weekend stays. The company lists six properties in Cumbria with hot tubs, sleeping between 12 and 24 guests across various locations.

Dan Harley, founder of Group Escape Houses, said that hot tubs have become the first thing groups ask about. 'After a day on the fells it's where everyone ends up, glass in hand, and it's the one part of the weekend nobody has to book, queue for or drive to,' he said. He noted that in Cumbria, groups can rent properties with hot tubs for as few as 12 people in Windermere or as many as 24 in five acres outside Sedbergh.

Howgills Barn in Sedbergh sleeps 24 across eight bedrooms and offers a private hot tub, games room, firepit, and five acres of outdoor space. A two-night weekend stay starts from £2,800. Moss Foot in Firbank, near Sedbergh, sleeps 20 across eight bedrooms and includes a hot tub, sauna, steam room, and cinema room, with prices starting at £4,000 for a two-night stay.

In Windermere, Bannerrigg sleeps 16 in five bedrooms and features a seven-seat hot tub in its own stone outbuilding, a cellar cinema, and dining space for 20 guests. Prices for this property start at £1,600 for a two-night weekend stay.
