The best places right now

The cheaper end of the range is easy to spot among the examples, with places near Inverness, Nottingham, Oswestry and Milton Keynes all usually costing well below the typical night. Welshpool stands out because a hot tub, a log burner and dog friendly rules come together at a low usual price. Most of these are one bedroom stays for two. If you book at short notice, check the dates carefully, as availability changes daily and the cheapest nights go first.

Book

Couples looking for a short notice break in the UK have a wide choice, and most of it is built around two people. Every place here sleeps two, usually in a single bedroom, so there is no paying for space you will not use. Guest ratings are high, at about 9.2 out of 10.

A hot tub is the feature that stands out, with around 63% of places offering one. Log burners are less common, at about 29%, and saunas are rare, at about 4%. Around half accept pets, which matters if the dog is coming too. A usual night is dearer than the cheapest nights found, so the budget range is wide. Towns in mid Wales and the Midlands tend to be cheaper, while parts of the Yorkshire coast cost more. Prices rise gradually from November towards spring.

Where are they?

York has the most places, followed by Scarborough and Rhayader. Prices differ a lot from town to town. Welshpool and Rhayader are among the cheapest, and both have a hot tub at almost every place. Oswestry is the dearest on the list, with Scarborough and Whitby also above the usual night. Fort William and Killin cost less than the UK usual night, but fewer places there have a hot tub, so check the listing if that matters to you.

Features

A garden comes with about three quarters of the places, and a hot tub with around 62%. Places with a hot tub usually cost more than those with a garden or a BBQ alone. A log burner adds a little less. Fishing is the dearest feature on the list, which suggests lakeside or estate settings. Lake view places are cheaper than sea view ones. If you want a hot tub without paying the top rate, look at the cheaper towns in Wales.

By number of guests

Everything here sleeps two, so the choice is about location and features rather than size. A usual night works out at about half per person, as the price is for two adults. There is one bedroom in a typical place. Couples can ignore the larger lodges that suit families and groups, and focus on setting, hot tub access and whether pets are allowed.

Prices month by month

Prices rise steadily from November through to April, with each month a little dearer than the one before. November is the cheapest of the months shown, and April is the dearest. Availability moves the other way, and more places are free in the late winter and early spring months than in November or December. So a last minute booking in March gives you more choice, but at a higher price than in the early winter.

FAQs

How much does a last minute couples break cost?

A night usually costs about the same for most places, though the cheapest nights found are far lower. A week in winter is a little cheaper than a week outside winter. Welsh and Midlands towns tend to be cheaper than the Yorkshire coast.

Do many couples lodges have a hot tub?

Yes, around 63% do. In towns such as Welshpool, Rhayader and Warminster, every place on the list has one. Fort William has far fewer, so check the features before you book.

Can I bring my dog on a couples break?

About half of the places accept pets. Some say dog friendly and others take pets on request, so confirm with the owner first. Extra charges may apply.

When is the cheapest time for a short notice stay?

Early winter is the cheapest, with November below the later months. Prices climb through to April. Availability is wider in spring, so you trade a higher price for more choice.

How much does a lodge or cabin in the UK cost?

Based on the prices we check every day, a night in one of these lodges or cabins in the UK usually costs £192, and a week in winter around £1,442 (£1,540 the rest of the year). Prices depend mostly on the dates and the size of the property.
