Property details

Luxurious stately home on the northern shore of Bassenthwaite Lake, with sprawling grounds and award-winning wellness - includes breakfast and spa access, plus suite and dinner credit options
  • Stately stay filled with homely charm: Combining old-world grandeur with all the home-from-home comforts you could need, Armathwaite Hall Hotel & Spa has plenty of crowd-pleasing strings to its bow - not least its location, amidst 400 acres of deer park and woodland bordered by the northern shore of Bassenthwaite Lake. Come here for endless breaths of fresh air, ease of access to the centres of both Bassenthwaite and Keswick, and the perfect blend of classic and modern English hospitality.

  • Award-winning wellness: If you're in need of some TLC, you'll need not look much further than the spa. An award-winning destination in its own right, it'll easily capture all your attention, whether you're flitting across the thermal suite, outdoor hot tub, infinity pool and gym, or taking your pick from a list of indulgent treatments. Spend time admiring the manicured gardens from the Tranquillity Terrace, or retreat to the spa lounge in cooler weather to warm up by the fire.

  • Drink and dine in style: Bringing together the best of English and French cuisines, the Lake View Restaurant delights patrons by way of a high-quality fine dining menu. Elegantly adorned and enjoying scenic surroundings, it guarantees a unique treat. Elsewhere, the Courtyard Bar & Brasserie is on hand for more informal fare throughout the day, while the Cocktail Bar will transport you to a bygone era with its snazzy, sophisticated decor.
