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, the Afternoon Tea Spa Day (£150) combines 3 hours of spa access with a 60 minute treatment and traditional afternoon tea in the Lake View restaurant. You'll also receive tea or coffee with morning pastries on arrival.

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.

If you prefer lunch instead of afternoon tea, the Revitalising Spa Day (£135) offers full day spa access, a 60 minute treatment and a 2 course lunch in the Conservatory. Book directly through the spa booking page.
