Body massage and spa treatment in modern salon with candles

The Lake District’s award-winning and luxurious Armathwaite Hall Hotel & Spa has received the prestigious 5-bubble rating from the Good Spa Guide. The Good Spa Guide is recognised as one of the UK spa industry leaders; setting the benchmark for quality, innovation, service, and excellence. They recently sent one of their ‘Spa Spies’ to visit the Armathwaite Hall Hotel & Spa, and they judged the spa facilities, range of treatments, fine dining, and overall customer experience as excellent.

Set within 400 acres of private woodland and surrounded by the Lake District’s breath-taking Skiddaw Mountains and Fells, Armathwaite Hall Hotel & Spa is the ultimate destination to truly switch off and escape the outside world. With several prestigious awards already under its belt, the estate has long been recognised as a leading hotel and spa destination, with people travelling from across the UK and beyond to simply spend a few days of peace here.

With Bassenthwaite being famed for being the UK’s most quaint and undiscovered town, Armathwaite Hall’s location really sets it apart from other destination spas and this is one of the key USP’s of the spa, which the Good Spa Guide recognised during their visit. Nestled within one of the UK’s least polluted areas, including light, noise and air, the estate offers some of the freshest air in the UK, meaning the spa’s connection to nature is unparalleled. As a result, the estate has long understood the wellness benefits of nature and the role it plays in a spa experience, by building on their natural resources to develop an innovative and exciting wellness retreat programme. Recruiting some of the country’s leading holistic experts, some of these packages include Forest Bathing, Animal Mindfulness, Wild Swimming, Moon, and Star Bathing, and more.

On the well-deserved news, Spa Manager, Lorela Movileanu comments: “We are extremely delighted to be awarded the 5-Bubble rating by the Good Spa Guide, which is a recognition of our continued commitment to delivering exceptional service. It is a proud moment for all of us, and I feel privileged to work with such an outstanding and motivated team. This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication put in by everyone at The Spa. We remain committed to providing our guests with an exceptional experience and look forward to doing so for many years to come!”

The five-star service doesn’t stop at the spa, as overnight guests can now enjoy a deep sleep in one of the brand-NEW Spa Garden Suites (launched April 2023), complete with weighted blankets, sleep masks, a pillow menu and even a calming sleep mist.
