There are few things we look forward to more than a weekend in a spa hotel. Make that a Lake District spa hotel and we’re happier still.
We’re dreaming of a soothing foot massage after a day of hiking, a bubbling hot tub with a view of the mountains, a luxurious bedroom glowing in the light of a log-burner. At these five Lake District spa hotels, you can tick off everything on your wellness wish list, from candlelit bathing in a copper bath, to sleeping in a treehouse, to skating in a wintery wonderland.
And it doesn’t matter if the weather is terrible, in fact it makes it cosier still. All the more reason to stay in your fluffy dressing gown and go into deep relaxation mode.
