Armathwaite Hall Hotel & Spa - A luxury countryside spa hotel with 162 hectare grounds, a wildlife park, and lake views

Armathwaite Hall Hotel & Spa is a 17th-century country house set on 162 hectares of private woodland near Bassenthwaite Lake, with views of the Skiddaw mountain range. The hotel offers 43 individually designed rooms, including garden and lake-view suites, family-friendly accommodations, and dog-friendly options, featuring flat-screen TVs, tea/coffee facilities, and Egyptian cotton linen. Guests can dine at the Lake View Restaurant or The Courtyard Bar and Brasserie, which serve traditional British and French-influenced dishes, along with a full English breakfast. The award-winning spa includes a 16m infinity pool, outdoor hydrotherapy pool, and treatments from brands like VOYA and CND. Activities on the estate range from falconry and clay pigeon shooting to guided walks in the Lake District. Armathwaite Hall Hotel is adjacent to the Lake District Wildlife Park, home to over 100 species.

Pros

The award-winning spa features an outdoor hydrotherapy pool and bespoke treatments from international brands.

Guests receive discounted access to the on-site Lake District Wildlife Park, home to rare and endangered animals.

The 162 hectare estate offers outdoor activities like guided fell walks, alpaca trekking, and clay pigeon shooting.

Cons

The remote countryside location may require a car for exploring nearby towns like Keswick or Cockermouth.

Some rooms in the garden wing lack lake or mountain views.

“Armathwaite Hall charms with Bassenthwaite Lake views and thoughtful touches like Easter treats for families; updated suites and a well-appointed spa also stand out. The Grill restaurant impresses, and the service is notably attentive. This is a place where quality ingredients and a friendly atmosphere truly shine.”
