Two Lake District spas named among top 50 in UK for 2024 in prestigious list

The Times and Sunday Times 50 Best UK Spas 2024 was revealed on Sunday, September 30 with two Lake District spas being named on the list.

Here are the two featured spas and what The Times had to say: 

Lodore Falls Hotel

The Times said: “The panoramic views over Derwentwater and the bracken fells beyond mean that relaxation is a given at this Victorian manor hotel in Borrowdale, even before you’ve stepped into its Scandi-style spa.

“Pair the glorious Cumbrian landscape with a soak in the outdoor heated infinity-edge hydrotherapy pool or a session in the glass-fronted Finnish sauna and you’ve got a wellness formula that is hard to beat.”

Armathwaite Hall

The Times said: “Bordered by beautiful Bassenthwaite Lake and framed by the Skiddaw mountain, Armathwaite Hall Hotel and Spa offers the ultimate natural therapy with its views alone.

“But you’ll want to do more than drink in the scenery at this magnificent, crenellated 17th-century pile in the less touristy northern lakes near Keswick.”
