Rothay Garden Hotel & Spa, Grasmere

• Countryside bliss: Located on the edge of Grasmere, Rothay Garden Hotel & Spa offers a different way to enjoy the serenity of the Lake District. A contemporary alternative to cosy, creaking inns, this luxe hideaway boasts state-of-the-art relaxation facilities and thoroughly up-to-date dining. No wonder, then, that it was named 'Small Hotel of the Year' by the Cumbria Tourism Awards.

• Award-winning cuisine: The two AA Rosette-awarded restaurant has received rave review after rave review. With a menu featuring beautifully presented and delicious food, you’ll also be pleased to know that it is locally and sustainably sourced. Overlooking two acres of garden, the atmosphere is quiet and idyllic.

• Rest up and recharge: Without it losing its original 19th-century charm, the hotel sleeps guests in gorgeous, up-to-date rooms and suites. Long lie-ins and leisurely strolls along the grassy banks are rewarded with luxurious 'me time' at The Riverside Spa. This natural, light-filled sanctuary is the go-to for hydrotherapy and dozing time on the heated infra-red loungers.
