Introduction
More than just a hotel
What sets Hedley House apart from other York hotels? Our unique wellness facilities, designed to help you unwind after exploring or to make your stay a true retreat. Inspired by Greg and Lou's travels and their personal journey of recovery, our wellness centre offers a sanctuary in the city.
Hot Tub

Hot Tub & Wellness Facilities
The experience: Powerful massage jets target tired muscles | Open year-round (4pm-10pm) | Sheltered location in our garden | Towels and robes provided | Magical in the evening under the stars
Earlier hot tub access: Fancy a morning soak?
We can open from 9am onwards - just let us know in advance. During quieter periods, we turn the heating down to save energy, so give us a heads up and we'll make sure it's lovely and warm for you.
Sauna & Cold Plunge: Available daily 9am-9pm for the brave. It needs 30 minutes or so to warm up so book a slot.
Pricing: £15 per person to use hot tub OR sauna and cold plunge. If you want to use all of the facilities then it's £20 per person to use all three!
