Wood-Fired Hot Tub Experience
A slower way to unwind
There's something special about heating water with fire.
No buttons. No jets. No timers.
Just the gentle crackle of burning logs, fresh air, and warm water beneath open skies.
Our signature Wood-Fired Hot Tub Experience has been created for guests who want to slow down and savour the moment.
Whether you're celebrating something special or simply taking time to switch off, it's a peaceful experience that encourages you to pause, breathe deeply and reconnect with nature.
Why it's different
Unlike a standard electric hot tub, ours is freshly filled and individually prepared for each guest who chooses the experience.
Every tub is:
-
Freshly filled with clean water before your arrival.
-
Heated naturally using sustainably sourced firewood.
-
Free from pumps, bubbles and chemicals.
-
Set beside the lodge, overlooking the beautiful Teign Estuary.
It's a quieter, more mindful experience—closer to traditional Scandinavian and Japanese bathing than a conventional spa.
Prepared especially for you
Because every hot tub is individually prepared, it takes time, care and attention.
Your tub will be heated ready for your arrival from approximately 4:00pm on check-in day.
As with any naturally wood-fired tub, the water continues to warm gently throughout the evening. We recommend checking the temperature before getting in, particularly later in the day, and removing the lid for a while if you'd prefer it a little cooler.
For stays longer than two nights, the experience includes fresh water changes every 48 hours to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness.
Why we offer it as an optional experience
We believe every guest should be able to create the stay that's right for them.
Some guests dream of long evenings soaking beneath the stars.
Others simply want a peaceful place to relax, enjoy the view and unwind.
By offering our Wood-Fired Hot Tub Experience as an optional addition, guests who choose not to use the hot tub aren't paying for something they don't need, while those who do enjoy a freshly prepared experience created especially for their stay.
