A mini moon break works best when most of it is spent at the hotel, not on the road. So we took the 58 UK hotels we have checked and worked out which is closest to each of 8 cities: the closest of any kind, the closest with a private hot tub, and the closest with a spa.
Drive times are from the city centre with no traffic, so treat them as the least the journey will take. Every hotel links to its full listing, with the room to book and what we checked on its own website.

Planning a short break
- Count the drive both ways. Two nights with a four-hour drive each way leaves one full day at the hotel.
- Book the room, not just the hotel. Where only some rooms have a private hot tub, each listing names the room to book.
- Ask about the spa. Check whether spa time is included in your rate and whether it needs booking ahead.
- Say you have just married. Mention it when you book and at check-in.
