Best spa hotels in Lake District
Featured Hotels
Gilpin Hotel and Lake House
Windermere, Cumbria
Perched in the tree canopy, the Swedish- style Jetty Spa offers treatments for Lake House guests. Or stay in a Spa Lodge with steam room, outdoor sauna and hydrotherapy tub, and book in-room treatments. Gilpin guests have use of nearby Choices Health Club.
Another Place
Ullswater, Cumbria
Bring the dog, bring the kids, revel in the gorgeous scenery and the great outdoors at this ‘lifestyle hotel’ with private shorefront on Ullswater and plenty of activities on offer. It's the old, staid Rampsbeck Hotel reinvented (out with the chintz and swags, on with the wetsuits or hiking boots!)
Victorian House
Grasmere, Cumbria
Outside Grasmere's village centre, this period property boasts original Victorian features alongside boutique decor in the bedrooms.
Talbooth House & Spa
Dedham, Essex
With quirky, stylish bedrooms, spa, tennis court and outdoor pool, the Milsom family's country house in the heart of Constable country is a perfect place to relax and recharge. Guests have a choice of brasserie-style menus at nearby sister hotel Milsoms, and fine dining at the legendary Talbooth Restaurant, in a Tudor building right by the River Stour.
Lyzzick Hall
Keswick, Cumbria
Once home to naturalist and cartographer Joseph Flintoft, this Victorian gentleman's residence on the lower slopes of Skiddaw is a family owned and run hotel with bedrooms mixing traditional and contemporary style, a menu of classic and more contemporary dishes, and great walks from the doorstep.
Surrounded by one of the UK's largest National Parks with mountains, lakes and thriving communities, the Lake District remains one of the country's most popular places to escape. When it comes to wellbeing, that's in no small part that's because of the exemplary hospitality at its spa hotels. Visit a glamorous country house hotel with modern spa lodges in the grounds, each complete with an outdoor hot tub and views of the Lake District moors. Enjoy Michelin star meals after a day of pampering and relaxation and stroll through flower gardens as you gather your thoughts. There is little doubt about the beauty that you will find in the Lake District, but it is the thoughtful details that turn a visit into true wellbeing retreat.
