January is often seen as a quiet, in-between month, but for those in the know, it’s one of the best times of year to escape. Fewer crowds, peaceful landscapes and a slower pace of life make it ideal for switching off and resetting after the festive season. And when it comes to January hot tub breaks in Northumberland, there are few places better suited than Hemera Holidays.
With luxury lodges, private hot tubs and tranquil surroundings at Felmoor Park and Percy Wood Country Park, a January break offers warmth, comfort and unforgettable winter scenery, all without the hustle and bustle that comes with peak-season travel.
Why January is made for hot tub breaks
There’s something incredibly special about stepping into a hot tub when the air is cold and fresh. In January, the contrast between frosty mornings and steaming hot water makes every soak feel even more indulgent.
As the temperature drops, hot tubs become more than a luxury, they’re a way to truly relax. Muscles unwind faster, stress melts away, and the stillness of the season creates a sense of calm that’s hard to find at any other time of year. Whether you’re starting your day with a morning soak or winding down after an afternoon walk, January hot tub breaks in Northumberland deliver comfort at its finest.
At Hemera Holidays, every lodge comes with a private hot tub, so you can enjoy the experience whenever you like, without sharing and without rushing.
Frosty mornings and slow starts
January mornings in Northumberland are something to savour. Crisp air, soft winter light and peaceful surroundings set the tone for a slower, more relaxed day. From your lodge at Felmoor Park or Percy Wood Country Park, you can wake up without alarms, enjoy a hot drink on the decking, and take in the quiet beauty of the season.
Many guests love starting the day with a gentle walk-through woodland or along nearby countryside trails, followed by a warming soak in the hot tub. It’s the kind of routine that encourages rest, reflection and a proper break from everyday pressures.
Inside, your lodge offers everything you need to stay cosy, comfortable seating, warm interiors and fully equipped kitchens that make it easy to enjoy relaxed mornings and unrushed meals.
Starry nights and dark winter skies
One of the biggest highlights of a January break in Northumberland is the night sky. The county is home to the Northumberland International Dark Sky Park, officially recognised as Europe’s largest protected dark sky area. January’s long, dark nights and clear winter air create some of the best stargazing conditions of the year.
From your hot tub, wrapped in the warmth of bubbling water, you can look up and see constellations, planets and, on clear nights, even the Milky Way stretching across the sky. It’s a magical experience that feels worlds away from everyday life, and one that’s especially memorable when shared with family, friends or someone special.
Whether you’re an avid stargazer or simply enjoy the calm of a quiet night outdoors, January hot tub breaks in Northumberland offer a front-row seat to one of nature’s most impressive displays.
Felmoor Park: perfect for January stays
For guests planning a January escape, Felmoor Park is the ideal choice. Open all year round, it offers the perfect balance of countryside calm and on-site convenience. The park’s peaceful setting makes it easy to relax, while the onsite pub provides a welcoming spot to enjoy a meal or drink without needing to travel.
Felmoor Park is also well placed for winter exploring, with easy access to scenic walks, nearby beaches and popular attractions such as Alnwick and Druridge Bay. After a day out in the crisp January air, returning to your lodge for a long soak in the hot tub feels especially rewarding.
Percy Wood Country Park: woodland calm (seasonal)
Percy Wood Country Park offers a more secluded woodland experience and is a wonderful choice during its open season. Surrounded by mature trees and natural landscapes, it provides a peaceful setting that feels particularly restorative in winter. Although the park is closed in February, January stays still allow guests to enjoy its quiet charm before the seasonal closure.
For those who enjoy nature, privacy and a slower pace, Percy Wood offers a different kind of January escape, one where days are spent walking, resting and reconnecting with the outdoors.
A peaceful choice for guests with pets
January is also an excellent time to travel with pets, and Hemera Holidays makes it easy. Every lodge at Felmoor Park and Percy Wood Country Park is pet friendly, allowing your furry family member to join you for the break.
Both parks are protected fireworks-free zones, making them ideal for pets who may struggle with noise or anxiety. January’s calmer atmosphere, quieter walking routes and open spaces mean dogs can relax just as much as their owners. Long countryside walks followed by warm evenings indoors create a routine that suits both humans and four-legged companions.
Ideal for couples, families and friends
Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family break or a few days away with friends, January hot tub breaks in Northumberland suit every kind of guest.
Couples love the quiet, intimate feel of winter stays, with cosy nights, starry skies and uninterrupted time together. Families enjoy the slower pace, space to relax and the novelty of a hot tub even in the colder months. Friends appreciate the chance to catch up properly, away from busy schedules and distractions.
