Help finding a lodge please

I'm pulling my hair out!!

Trying to find a lodge for 3 nights in July for 4 people. Requirements are that it has a hot tub and is under 2 hours drive from Newcastle. I found the perfect one in Ripon for £629, with us all looking it looks like there's lots of traffic to that site so it's now over £800 which I won't pay when every other week is the lower price.

Happy to go anywhere... if there's National Trust gardens/properties near by that would be a bonus.

Try Forest Holidays at Keldy and Cropton although they don't tend to be cheap and you're heading into peak season. A lot of places won't do short breaks in july, or if they do they'll charge you the same as a 7 night break.

Try Landal Kielder and Whitbarrow Village
