What makes the spa at Armathwaite Hall Hotel & Spa unique?

Armathwaite Hall Hotel & Spa stands out among Lake District spas for its exceptional outdoor facilities and exclusive treatments. The spa features multiple outdoor infinity pools with stunning views across the fells, plus an outdoor hot tub that guests consistently rate as a highlight in reviews.

Inside, you'll find the Amethyst Crystal Cave, a distinctive steam room experience unique to Armathwaite Hall. The thermal facilities also include a Finnish sauna and a 16 metre indoor swimming pool. The thermal facilities section has full details of all heat experiences available.

For treatments, the spa offers an exclusive Organic Walker's Recovery massage only available at Armathwaite Hall Hotel & Spa, specifically designed for guests exploring the Lake District fells. Treatments use Temple Spa and Made for Life products products. The setting itself is remarkable: a lakeside position on the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake within a 400 acre private deer park. For treatment options, see the treatments section.

Can children use the spa at Armathwaite Hall Hotel & Spa?

Spa day bookings at Armathwaite Hall Hotel & Spa are for guests aged 18+ only. However, unlike many Lake District spas that are completely adults only, Armathwaite Hall offers a dedicated family swimming time each morning.

Children under 16 can use the swimming pool facilities from 8:30am to 9:30am every day of the week, provided they are accompanied by an adult. This early morning window allows families staying at the hotel to enjoy the pool together before the spa opens for adult guests.

Outside of the family swimming time, the spa and pool areas are reserved for guests 18+. If you're visiting with children, the hotel's 400 acre grounds offer plenty to explore, including a deer park and wildlife. You could book spa treatments or a spa day during times when children are enjoying the estate or alternative activities. For full access details, see the spa access information. For other Lake District spas with different age policies, see our Spas page.

Is spa access included with my room at Armathwaite Hall Hotel & Spa?

Yes, hotel guests at Armathwaite Hall Hotel & Spa receive complimentary access to the spa facilities as part of their stay. This includes use of the 16 metre indoor swimming pool, outdoor infinity pools, outdoor hot tub, Finnish sauna, Amethyst Crystal Cave steam room, and relaxation areas.

Spa treatments are not included in your room rate and must be booked separately. Popular treatments include massages, facials, and body therapies using Temple Spa and Made for Life products products. The exclusive Organic Walker's Recovery treatment is particularly popular with guests who have been exploring the fells.

If you're not staying at the hotel, you can visit as a day guest by booking one of the spa day packages starting from £70. All spa access, whether for hotel guests or day visitors, must be pre booked due to limited capacity. The spa operates an 18+ policy for bookings. For full details, see the access information section.

Can I combine afternoon tea with a spa day at Armathwaite Hall Hotel & Spa?

Yes, the Sereni Tea spa day (£160 weekdays, £170 weekends) is specifically designed to combine spa relaxation with a traditional afternoon tea experience. This popular package is ideal for celebrations, birthdays, and special occasions.

The Sereni Tea package includes full access to all spa facilities: the 16 metre indoor pool, outdoor infinity pools with fell views, outdoor hot tub, Finnish sauna, Amethyst Crystal Cave steam room, and relaxation areas. You'll also receive robes and towels. After enjoying the spa, you'll sit down for afternoon tea featuring a selection of sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and jam, and sweet treats.

If you prefer to include a spa treatment as well as afternoon tea, the Serenity Full Day (£190 to £200) includes a 55 minute treatment plus your choice of lunch or afternoon tea. Both packages are popular for special occasions and should be booked in advance, especially for weekend dates. See all spa day packages for the full range of options.
