Expert Guidance

Common questions about navigating the Lake District's premier wellness retreats.

How much does a spa day cost at Lakeside Hotel & Spa?

Spa day packages at Lakeside Hotel & Spa range from £25 to £95 per person, making it one of the most affordable spa options in the Lake District. With three packages available, there's an option for every budget.

The most affordable option is Dip & Dine (£25), which gives you 3 hours of access to the 17 metre heated pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi, plus a £15 food credit to spend in the hotel.

If you want a treatment included, the Express Escape (£70) combines spa access with a 30 minute ELEMIS treatment and afternoon tea, while the Signature Sanctuary Spa Day (£95) upgrades that to a full 60 minute treatment. View all packages in the Day Spa Packages section.

What spa facilities are included at Lakeside Hotel & Spa?

Lakeside Hotel & Spa offers a 17 metre heated indoor pool with views across Lake Windermere, a poolside jacuzzi, traditional sauna, and relaxing steam room. All spa day packages include access to these facilities. The pool features a beach style shallow area making it suitable for guests of all swimming abilities.

Outside, the spa garden provides a tranquil retreat with an open fire pit and heat domes to keep warm while enjoying the lakeside setting. This outdoor space is perfect for relaxing between pool sessions or warming up after a swim. The combination of indoor thermal facilities and outdoor relaxation areas offers a complete wellness experience.

It's worth noting that Lakeside Hotel & Spa is a hotel wellness facility rather than a destination thermal spa. If you're looking for an extensive thermal suite with multiple heat experiences, consider Lodore Falls or Low Wood Bay. For full facility details, see the Thermal Facilities section.

Can children use the spa at Lakeside Hotel & Spa?

Yes, Lakeside Hotel & Spa is a family friendly spa where children are welcome to use the pool and facilities. This makes it an excellent choice for families wanting to enjoy a spa day together, unlike many Lake District spas that operate adults only policies. All spa day packages are available to guests of all ages.

The 17 metre heated pool features a beach style shallow area, making it accessible and safe for younger swimmers. Families can enjoy the pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room together. The outdoor spa garden with its fire pit is also available for all guests to use.

If you're seeking a quieter, adults only spa experience, you may prefer Lodore Falls (18 and over) or Brimstone Spa (18 and over). For more family friendly options, see our Spas page.

What is the outdoor spa garden at Lakeside Hotel & Spa?

The outdoor spa garden at Lakeside Hotel & Spa is a tranquil lakeside retreat featuring an open fire pit and heat domes where guests can relax and warm up while enjoying views of Lake Windermere. It provides a unique outdoor space to unwind between swimming and sauna sessions.

The fire pit creates a cosy focal point where you can gather and warm up after using the pool or thermal facilities. The heat domes offer covered, heated seating areas so you can enjoy the fresh Lake District air without getting cold. This combination of outdoor warmth and natural surroundings sets Lakeside Hotel & Spa apart from indoor only spas.

Access to the spa garden is included with all spa day packages and hotel guest spa access. It's particularly atmospheric on cooler days when you can contrast the crisp outdoor air with the warmth of the fire pit and heat domes. For more details on what's included, see the Thermal Facilities section.

Does Lakeside Hotel & Spa offer spa packages with afternoon tea?

Yes, two of the four packages include it. The Signature Sanctuary Spa Day (£95) combines 3 hours of spa access with a 60 minute ELEMIS treatment and a traditional afternoon tea served in the Spa Lounge, so you can stay in your robe throughout.

This package is ideal for a special occasion or a treat with friends. After your treatment, you can enjoy the 17 metre heated pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi before sitting down to afternoon tea with views across Lake Windermere. The hotel's food is consistently praised in reviews, making this package excellent value for a combined spa and dining experience.

For a shorter visit, the Express Escape (£70) also includes afternoon tea alongside full spa access and a 30 minute ELEMIS treatment. Book directly through the spa booking page.
