5 best adults only and couples caravan holiday parks and lodges with hot tubs

If you want to avoid the risk of being woken by a nine year old on a bicycle at 6am then you might consider an adults-only holiday park. Most of them offer posh lodges with hot tubs, whilst others are a good budget option with caravan accommodation and a good base for exploring some of the best parts of the UK.

We've picked out five of the best couples only and adults holiday parks based on customer reviews, facilities, value for money and location.

For our price comparison, we looked for a four night break during early July 2019 (outside of school holidays) for two people.

1. Mill Rythe Holiday Village, Hayling Island (swimming pools, evening entertainment, term time only)

**Winner: best value holiday park**

Mill Rythe Holiday Village on Hayling Island in Hampshire is a good choice if you want a busy holiday park with evening entertainment and lots of facilities. You don't get quite as much space for your money, but you do get half board meals included so it's good value.

During school holidays it is open to families, but during term time it is exclusively for adults so you should get a bit of peace and quiet.

Onsite there are indoor and outdoor swimming pools, sauna, tennis, snooker and petanque. In the evening, there are shows from Bon Jovi tribute acts and the like. Unusually, it offers breakfast and evening meals, so it’s one for people who want to eat onsite rather than exploring the local area in the evenings.

It’s run by Away Resorts which has half a dozen holiday parks around the UK. Reviews average 4/5 (that’s 8/10 for those who are less mathematically minded).

Hayling Island has several beaches and the edge of the South Downs is about 20 minutes from the site by car. The 20 minute ferry to the Isle of Wight is about 25 minutes away, if you fancy a day out (and why wouldn’t you?). The edge of the New Forest is 40 minutes away and The National Motor Museum at Beaulieu is about an hour away.

Price: £350 for four nights for two people in July, staying in a standard room. Half board break with various upgrades available, including lodges with hot tubs. If you want to upgrade to a hut tub, it will cost you £1030 for an 'Indulgent TriBeCa' lodge which sleeps up to 6 people.

2. Beaconsfield Park, Shropshire (indoor swimming pool, hot tubs, lodges)

Beaconsfield Park near Shrewsbury is an adults only park with fancy lodges with hot tubs, as well as some cheaper caravans and touring options.

The site has an indoor swimming pool, as well as a coffee shop, restaurant. fishing lakes and bike hire. The only downside is that you pay extra for most things, including the swimming pool (which is quite unusual at these resorts). When I checked, it was £3 to swim, so it's not exactly a deal breaker.

Beaconsfield Park makes our top 5 thanks to consistently positive customer reviews, which were average 4.5/5 on TripAdvisor or just over 9/10 on Hoseasons when we checked.

It's about half an hour to the edge of the Shropshire Hills, which are well worth a visit if you're a walker. Birmingham is about an hour's drive.

Price: £447 for a four night stay in early July 2019  in a one bedroom 'Chestnut Lodge' with a hot tub

3. Springwood Lodges, Yorkshire (hot tubs, great reviews, rural location)

Springwood Lodges in Yorkshire is another couples only holiday resort with outstanding reviews. In fact, reviews were about as good as they get when we checked (5/5 on TripAdvisor, 9.8/10 on Hoseasons with 100+ reviews). 

It doesn't have a swimming pool or other facilities onsite but each of the Scandinavian style lodges is highly rated and includes its own hot tub. 

Springwood Lodges is located within an 'area of outstanding natural beauty' and it's about 20 minutes by car to the classy North Yorkshire town of Harrogate.

Price: £455 for four nights in a 'Sneugle' lodge with a hot tub, for two people in July 2019.

4. Lode Hall Lodges, Norfolk/Cambridgeshire border (hot tubs, outstanding reviews)

**Winner: cheapest holiday park**

There are a couple of accommodation options at Lode Hall. The large house is open to families, but the lodges are exclusively for adults, so you should avoid having a football landing in your hot tub whilst you're having a romantic moment.

The focus is on peace and quiet, so you'll need to make your own entertainment (ooer missus). There isn't a swimming pool, but the lodges have private hot tubs. One and two bedroom lodges are on offer.

Reviews were outstanding when we checked, averaging 5/5 on TripAdvisor or 9.6/10 on Hoseasons.

Seaside larks in Hunstanton or punting in Cambridge are both just under an hour away by car.

Price: £339 for four nights in a 'Lavender' lodge with two bedrooms and a hot tub, for two people in early July 2019

5. Longnor Wood Holiday Park, Peak District (simple facilities, peaceful, hot tubs)

There are only basic facilities at the adults' only Longnor Wood Holiday Park near Buxton in Derbyshire's Peak District, but it gets strong reviews and is in a very rural location.

There isn't a swimming pool at the small park, but you can do badminton, boules or putting onsite. 

They've got caravans, lodges and some glamping-style pods, most of which have their own hot tubs.

Most holiday parks in the Peak District are actually on the outskirts, but this one has the definite advantage of being within the boundaries of the national park. As a result, I'd say this is a good one for walkers. Bring a book just in case it rains...

Price: £379 for four nights in a 'deluxe caravan' for two people in early July 2019.
