Relax at Swim Club

Flanked by two walls of glass, the pool has views that blur the boundary between you and your lakeside location. A skylight floods the pool with further natural light – you can float beneath the clouds, indoors. Slate flagstones surround the pool and ultra-violet filters in the water keep the pool low on chlorine. For young children, the pool has a shallow area. The pool hall leads to the outdoor hot tub – plain and simple, with no bubbles or jets – and the sauna.

The hotel swimming pool is open from 7am to 9pm with dedicated adult and family swim times.

Accessed from the pool area, the sauna and hot tub are designed for soothing aching bodies after a day scrambling up fells or hours spent paddling up the lake. Inviting the views in, glass doors on the sauna give glimpses of the lake and Arthur’s Pike, on the other side of Ullswater.

Step outside and you can plunge in to our heated outdoor hot tub. Swedish in design, meant for warming up your toes while you soak in the views. It is sheltered, but expect to watch the snow fall close enough to touch in winter.

The treatment rooms are for treating yourself. There are two of them – one double and a single – as well as a treatment snug. All are private, low lit and attended by experienced therapists. Treatments are 50 minutes.

Ready for working up a sweat. You’ll find a matrix hybrid cross-trainer and rowing machine, a treadmill and a fitness bike. We also have free weights, medicine balls and yoga mats.
