Spa & Wellness

The spa at Low Wood Bay offers a thermal experience with both indoor and outdoor facilities, including a steam room, saunas, and hot tubs set against views of Lake Windermere. Guests can book bespoke spa treatments that use natural products sourced from local suppliers, such as full body massages and facial treatments. The spa lounge and relaxation area provide a quiet space to rest between sessions, and spa/wellness packages are available for an additional charge.

Dining

Blue Smoke on the Bay serves lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner cooked over a 3-metre long wood-fired grill. The W restaurant offers classic British and continental dishes in a setting overlooking the lake, with a jazz-inspired ambiance. Both restaurants are open to hotel guests and the public, and the hotel also offers a bar, coffee house on site, and special diet menus upon request.
