Cambridgeshire Escape
Why Choose Cambridgeshire for a Hot Tub Break?
A hot tub holiday in Cambridgeshire offers a landscape of intellect and wild beauty. The manicured lawns of the historic colleges contrast sharply with the wild, flat wetlands of the Fens, offering two very different experiences in one county.
It is a destination where you can go punting on the River Cam in the morning, explore the "Ship of the Fens" (Ely Cathedral) in the afternoon, and walk amongst the vintage aircraft at IWM Duxford.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Cambridgeshire good for cycling?
Yes, it is one of the best counties in the UK for cycling. The landscape, particularly in the Fens and around Cambridge, is incredibly flat, making it perfect for casual cyclists and families. There is an extensive network of cycle paths connecting the city to the surrounding villages.
How far is Ely from the properties?
Many of our lodges at Fenview Lakes are just a short drive from the historic city of Ely, making it easy to visit the magnificent cathedral and explore the charming riverside cafes and antique shops.
How far is Cambridge from the coast?
Cambridge is inland, but the coast is accessible for a day trip. The stunning North Norfolk coast (places like Hunstanton or Holkham) is about a 60-90 minute drive away, making a "beach day" perfectly possible during your stay.
When is the best time to visit Cambridgeshire?
Cambridgeshire is a year-round destination. Summer is iconic for punting on the Cam and picnics in the meadows. Spring is beautiful for the daffodils on the college "Backs." Autumn brings golden colours to the trees, and Winter is atmospheric, with frost on the Fens and fewer crowds in the city.
Is it good for a city break?
Yes, staying in the countryside gives you the best of both worlds. You can use the excellent Park & Ride sites to visit Cambridge for a day of shopping, museums, and dining, then retreat to the peace and quiet of your rural hot tub lodge for the evening.
