Best spa hotels in the Lake District

Another Place is inspired by its popular sister hotel, Watergate Bay in Cornwall and its nickname ‘a beachside ski resort’, which caters mostly to families and younger adults. The homelike but stylish and attractive decor, with good local art on the walls, as well as plenty of sofas, armchairs and spacious tables for dining or board games, perfectly embodies the building’s Georgian origins while also appealing to a young, athletic clientele. Facilities include a superb 20-metre glass-fronted indoor pool, jacuzzi, sauna, gym and two spa treatment rooms. Water sports on offer include stand-up paddle boarding, sailing (from the sailing school across the lake), kayaking and much more wild swimming.
