A hot tub after a day of salt wind and cliff walking is one of life's better ideas, and Pembrokeshire's cottage stock has embraced it. The best hot-tub stays here pair the tub with a view — a sunset over St Brides Bay, a dark-sky night inland of the Preselis — rather than a corner of a car park.
We look for genuinely private tubs (not shared spa access dressed up in listings), decent screening from neighbours, and outdoor space you'd actually want to sit in. Hot-tub properties book out fastest for autumn and winter weekends, when the contrast between cold air and hot water is the whole point, so book those breaks early.
