Best places to stay for a bath with a view UK
Fallen Angel, Mousehole
Imagine taking a bath with that view. Fallen Angel overlooks the charming harbour village of Mousehole and is so tucked away, it can only be reached by foot. The perfect romantic stay for UK minimoons or honeymoons, the interiors are so luxurious you might not want to leave this Cornwall cottage for two. High-end extras include in-room pamper treatments and private chefs.

Sleepy Owl, Devon
Want the freedom to choose whether you bathe indoors or out? The choice is yours at The Hideout Treehouse in Devon, home to the UK’s first moving freestanding bath. There is even a dreamy rainfall shower outside to rinse your hair. And if that wasn’t enough, there is a hot tub for romantic dips too.

Squirrels Nest, Powys, Wales
Copper baths are definitely having a moment, but we doubt you’ll find a better one than this. Cadwollen Treehouse is one of three luxury glamping properties at Squirrels Nest on a 130-acre farm in the stunning Welsh countryside. If the bath isn’t enough to tempt you, there’s a hot tub for guests to enjoy on the extended decking area. Perfect for watching the sun go down. The owners can arrange luxury hampers if you are staying for a special occasion. If you’re planning a micro wedding, the treehouses could be your dream venue.
Sleeps 2 adults, plus a baby | Prices from £275 a night, with a minimum two-night stay
Ukiyo Summer House, Coverack, Cornwall
If you’re dreaming of the ultimate coastal escape, you’d be hard-pressed to find somewhere as calming as Ukiyo, a stylish summer house in the pretty fishing village of Coverack in Cornwall. This seaside retreat takes its name from Japanese culture and translates to ‘the floating world’, a blissful state of detachment from the stresses of everyday life. Enjoy panoramic sea views from that dreamy bath. This Scandi-inspired eco-retreat also has a hot tub and fire pit. A truly luxurious stay, whatever time of year you visit.
Sleeps up to 4 | Prices from £1,450 for a short break
The Nest Glamping, Lincolnshire
Put the glam in glamping with a stay at The Nest, a collection of secret lakeside lodges hidden in the Lincolnshire countryside. There are three luxury lodges on site, but each is carefully spaced out. Lodges come with king-size master bedrooms, beautifully designed open plan kitchens and freestanding egg-shaped baths overlooking the lake. While it’s self-catering, if you don’t feel like cooking there’s the option to have meals delivered to your lodge which you can enjoy alfresco on the private deck.
Each lodge sleeps up to 6 | Dog friendly
Price from £178 per night, with a minimum three night stay
Foxhill Manor, Cotswolds
Two baths are better than one, and they don’t come more luxurious than the Oak Suite at Foxhill Manor. With double window-facing slipper tubs, and space for a champagne bucket in the middle, this is the kind of place you book for your honeymoon if you’re after any inspiration. We also love the Juniper room at Foxhill. Slightly more affordable, but equally stunning.
Rooms sleep 2 | Prices from £349 a night on the ‘Hot Date’ deal, £539 for the Juniper room and £654 for the Oak Suite
