With National Hot Tub Day coming up on Tuesday (March 28th), Brecon Beacons Holiday Cottages have put together a top ten of the best and quirkiest hot tub retreats in the Brecon Beacons. Ranging from the quirky, a hot tub shaped like a teacup for example, to the unusual, a woodfired 30 tonne excavator bucket hot tub, to ones with spectacular views across the national park, and everything in between.
Hot tubs have unsurprisingly hugely increased in popularity over recent years. After all, there’s little more luxurious or relaxing than soaking in the soothing bubbles, especially after a busy day exploring the local sights.
Whether you’re wanting to enjoy a hot tub with friends on a long summer night with a glass of wine in hand, or warm up on a chilly morning with your loved one on a romantic winter break, we have the perfect hot tub holiday for you.
Here’s a few of our favourites……….
The one that’s shaped like a tea cup – Trewyn Coach House
Sleeps 7 + 2 dogs
Without a doubt one of the quirkiest hot tubs in the Brecon Beacons, at Trewyn Coach House you can relax in a giant teacup. We bet that’s a new one for your bucket list!
Alongside the quirky wood-fired hot tub, there’s a beautifully converted coach house that sleeps seven, set within mature gardens at the foot of the Black Mountains near Abergavenny.

The one that’s an excavator bucket: The Hot Tub Hideaway

Quirky barely covers this fabulous hot tub – it’s a wood-fired tub created from the bucket of a 30-tonne excavator machine! Now, that’s an unusual place to relax at the end of a busy day! And the unique hot tub is perfectly complemented with unique accommodations.
Set in the ancient hay meadows of the Welsh border, these hand-crafted shepherds’ huts are charmingly rustic, with wrought-iron details, reused scaffold boards, and antique furnishings. Perfect for a romantic break, The Hot Tub Hideaway offers total privacy for evenings in the hot tub and around the fire pit.
