Raising the Bar: Our New Standard Specification for Wood Fired Hot Tubs

At Cotswold Eco Tubs, quality has always been central to what we do. For the past seven years, we’ve been designing and supplying hot tubs that combine beautiful craftsmanship with thoughtful engineering.

We’ve always been known for producing some of the highest-quality wood-fired hot tubs in the UK, but we’re proud to announce that our standard specification has just become even better.
These upgrades further strengthen our commitment to building long-lasting, beautifully designed hot tubs that deliver exceptional performance for homeowners, families, and holiday let owners alike.
Premium American Acrylic Liners – Now Standard
All Cotswold Eco Tubs now come fitted with high-quality American acrylic liners as standard.
Acrylic is widely regarded as one of the best materials available for hot tubs, offering a perfect balance of durability, insulation and visual appeal.
The benefits of a genuine acrylic liner
Excellent natural insulation Acrylic helps retain heat efficiently, meaning your hot tub stays warmer for longer and requires less fuel or energy to maintain temperature.
Ultra hard-wearing Unlike fibreglass liners, which can be more prone to scratches over time, acrylic provides a strong, durable surface designed to withstand years of regular use.
Smooth and easy to clean The beautifully smooth surface makes cleaning simple and keeps your tub looking fresh with minimal effort.
A premium look and finish Our liners are available in a range of elegant colours that complement the natural timber exterior perfectly:
White marbled
White / cream
Grey
It’s also worth noting that while some manufacturers advertise acrylic tubs, these are often a thin acrylic layer over a cheaper base material. Our liners are solid acrylic, chosen specifically for their durability and longevity.
For busy households, holiday lets, or anyone investing in a hot tub that should look great for years, this upgrade makes a real difference.
Marine Grade 316 Stainless Steel – Built to Last
All of our wood-fired hot tubs now feature Grade 316 stainless steel components as standard.
This is true marine-grade stainless steel, chosen for its superior corrosion resistance and durability.
Many manufacturers opt for Grade 430 or 304 stainless steel, which is less expensive but also less resistant to corrosion over time.
Grade 316 stainless steel includes added molybdenum, which greatly improves its resistance to:
Rust
Corrosion
Chemicals and water exposure
Harsh outdoor conditions
The result is a longer-lasting, higher-performing hot tub that maintains both its strength and appearance over many years of use.
Designed for Convenience
We’ve also introduced several practical additions to make ownership even easier.
All tubs now include a floating thermometer, making it simple to keep track of your water temperature at a glance.
In addition, every tub now comes with filter connections already installed. Even if you don’t add a filtration system straight away, the connections are ready — meaning you can easily upgrade later if you wish.
It’s a small but thoughtful feature that adds flexibility for the future.
The Features Our Customers Already Love
Alongside these exciting improvements, every Cotswold Eco Tub still comes with the excellent specification our customers already enjoy, including:
Comfortable head rests
A drinks holder with an integrated wine chiller
Steps for easy access
An insulated cover, improving heat efficiency by approximately 30%
Internal colour-changing LED lighting
Bubble systems (excluding the Wilderness model)
For wood-fired tubs, we also include:
Chimney guard
Rain cowl
Every feature has been designed to create a relaxing and enjoyable hot tub experience from the moment you step in.
Built with Sustainability in Mind
As our name suggests, Cotswold Eco Tubs are designed with efficiency and sustainability in mind.
Wood-fired hot tubs offer a wonderfully natural way to heat your water while keeping running costs low. Many owners choose them as a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional electric hot tubs.
Combined with our insulated covers, efficient heating and high-quality materials, our tubs are designed to retain heat effectively and minimise energy use.
The result is a hot tub that’s not only beautiful, but also efficient and economical to run.
