Escape to a peaceful hotel on the edge of Lake Windermere, with great views, delicious dining and superb spa facilities - includes breakfast, welcome cocktail and parking for one car
  • Serene lakeside retreat: In an idyllic setting on the shores of Lake Windermere, you'll be waking up to breathtaking vistas every morning at Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa. Nestled amid lush greenery at the foot of a gently sloping hill, this tranquil haven is as charming inside as out, with stylish interiors featuring chic contemporary décor, high-end amenities, and large windows for stunning lake and country views.

  • Waterfront wellness: Boasting an impressive health club and spa facilities, the hotel certainly doesn't disappoint on the feel-good front. Swim a few lengths in the indoor pool, before venturing outside to unwind in the lake-view infinity pool, outdoor hot tubs and panoramic fellside sauna. Later on, retreat to soothing scented steam rooms and the cosy herbal relaxation lounge, or switch things up with a workout at the fully-equipped gym.

  • Relaxed dining: Warm and inviting, The W offers a seasonal British and continental menu in a modern and vibrant setting with lovely views, while The Blue Smoke features a centrepiece three-metre grill over hardwood embers for authentic wood-fired dining. Elsewhere, Norman's offers smoothies, coffees and cakes for laid-back daytime snacking, while The Langdale Lounge & Bar is your go-to for elegant evening tipples.

Think Lake District and you’ll no doubt imagine that quintessential view of rolling hills reflected in Lake Windermere’s tranquil waters. The outdoors are yours to explore at your leisure, from jogging around the lake and on the lawns to discovering the fells and peaks. Over on the other side of the lake, you'll find Wray Castle, a National Trust site - one of many in the Lake District National Park. The cute cafes and shops of Windermere and Ambleside also offer a lovely diversion, if you’d rather strike a more gentle pace.
