Why we're building Lake District Spas
The Problem
Planning a spa day or spa break in the Lake District is harder than it should be. The information you actually need is scattered, incomplete, or buried in fine print.
The biggest frustration? Finding out whether spa access is included with your hotel stay or costs extra. Major booking platforms rarely make this clear - leaving you to discover hidden costs after you've already booked.
Beyond access policies, treatment menus are often PDFs buried on spa websites, facility details are vague marketing speak, and comparing options means opening dozens of tabs.

About Me
I'm Matthew, and I live in Penrith with my family, right on the doorstep of the Lake District.
This site started from real frustration. My partner and her friends regularly plan spa days together, and the same complaints kept coming up: "Why is it so hard to find out if the spa is actually included? What treatments do they offer? Can we even book as day visitors?"
I realised that if experienced spa-goers were struggling to find this information, first-time visitors didn't stand a chance. Lake District Spas is my attempt to fix that. It's a straightforward guide to help you find your perfect spa experience.
