The Lake District isn’t all about energetic outdoorsy activities on the fells or water. It can also be a place to just kick back and let yourself be pampered in a spa. Even better, some of the area’s spa hotels combine treatments and relaxation areas with stunning views, whether of lakes and hilltops or peaceful woodland. Some spas offer custom-blended products, others have well-known luxury brands; some are near popular hot-spots, such as Grasmere and Lake Windermere, others are tucked away on private estates. Here’s our pick of the best spa hotels in the Lake District.
