With all of this wild weather, we've been thinking of places to hunker ourselves away and enjoy a cosy break in the Great British countryside. And, if staying in a shepherd's hut has become a bit blasé, we're turning the temperature up and looking for hot tub retreats where you can not only shelter yourself away like a shepherd but also live like a king and kick back in a simmering hot tub and enjoy the stars. Whether it's a wood-fired hot tub that you can light yourself and enjoy that rustic Nordic feel, or a full-blown Jacuzzi with jets, bubbles and more, there are plenty of hot tub glamping sites out there. Here are just a few of the most romantic shepherd's hut stays available right now...
