Lodore Falls Hotel

If it wouldn’t be a wellness break without some invigorating exercise, you’re in luck. There may not be a gym at Lodore Falls Hotel & Spa, but that won’t stop you from burning some serious calories! 

The Lake District’s perfect for those who like to work out in the great outdoors. Take to the water for kayaking and canoeing on Derwentwater, go mountain biking on scenic routes, experience the thrill of ghylling or try your hand at rock climbing or abseiling. 

Surrounded by panoramic views of the stunning Wainwright fells, there are plenty of scenic trails to ramble. A varied mix of gentle and longer walking routes can be found on the hotel’s doorstep. You can reach Surprise View, Lodore Falls and Derwentwater in less than an hour.

For the more experienced hiker, Great Gable and Skiddaw are possible day-walks. But if you like your calorie-burning to be more adrenaline-fuelled, head to Honister Slate Mine. Its Via Ferrata experience will test you head for heights, and it’s just a 20-minute drive.

A spa with its own Champagne Bar? Now you’re talking! This standout highlight of the Falls Spa features cosy seating, stunning views and a fabulous fireplace. Sip healthy smoothies and indulgent mid-morning mimosas from the comfort of your robe. But nothing beats taking your rosé Prosecco outside and enjoying it while basking in the bubbles of the outdoor infinity pool! 

The Champagne Bar serves light lunches and indulgent cakes. But if your tastebuds are seeking something a little different, head directly to Mizu Pan-Asian. This destination restaurant has a stylish open kitchen and bright, modern decor. On the menu you’ll find Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai specialities - and a sushi selection that’s second to none!

The Falls Brasserie is the hotel’s main restaurant, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Expect a menu of hearty British classics with a modern twist, and all made from the finest local ingredients.

The Falls Spa features a 16m outdoor, infinity-edge hydrotherapy pool with neck jets and underwater loungers, offering spectacular views over Derwentwater and the Catbells Mountain Range. It's a perfect spot to relax with a glass of fizz and enjoy the warm water - and the beautiful surroundings.

Yes it does. Guests can choose from 63 Lake View, Classic, and Standard rooms, each thoughtfully styled with modern amenities and high-class comforts. You’ll find these located in the original grey stone hotel building.

But take our tip and book a spectacular Spa Suite for even more indulgence. Uniquely designed and crammed full of cosiness, there are 23 in total, each offering views of Derwentwater or the surrounding fells and forest. Many come with balconies for an extra dose of Mother Nature.

You can check in to Lodore Falls at 3pm and check-out time is at 11am. For day spa packages, arrival times vary. Best to check your booking confirmation.

Yes it is. There are two accessible spa suites on the ground floor, with step free access once in the spa building. At the main hotel, there are a further two accessible bedrooms in the main hotel. These are on the first floor, and the lift isn’t suitable for motorised wheelchairs (but there is a hotel wheelchair you can transfer into). 

The Falls Spa has so many ways to delight you, you’ll struggle to fit them all in. There are 12 different thermal experiences to try. Indoors, there’s a laconium, salt steam room, aroma steam room, herbal sauna, experience showers, ice fountain and heated loungers. Outside there’s a hydro pool with infinity edge, Finnish sauna, hot and cold outdoor shower and a cold-drench bucket. 

There is also a Champagne Bar where you can purchase light refreshments throughout the day including snacks, meals, hot and cold drinks and, of course, Prosecco and Champagne. You can’t take food and drinks into the thermal spa itself, but you can have your Prosecco in the infinity hydro pool!

Step back inside for five tranquil treatment rooms and a relaxation lounge, along with the four-person rasul, for DIY mud treatments that are fun to do with friends.

The Falls Spa is an adults-only retreat, suitable only for those aged 18 and over. However, the hotel is family-friendly, with 18 family suites and children’s menus at its restaurants. 

Yes it is! This dog-friendly hotel allows pups in most of its bedrooms and some of the suites. For £25 per dog, per night per dog (or £35 in Lake View rooms and suites), your pampered pub will get its own bed and bowls. They can even join you for dinner in the cosy side lounge or bright conservatory.

No, Lodore Falls Hotel & Spa does not have its own golf course. However Keswick Golf Club is nearby and it has to be one of the most scenic courses in the UK. Tee off for 18 holes, surrounded by breathtaking, panoramic views of the surrounding Lakeland Fells, including Blencathra, Skiddaw and the Helvellyn Range.
