Frequently Asked Questions

Are there spa day options in Cumbria that include afternoon tea?

Pinkie fingers aloft! There most certainly are, and they’re as indulgent as they sound. If your idea of heaven involves pampering and pastry, then a spa day in Cumbria with afternoon tea ticks every box. Plenty of our partner spas offer packages that pair self-care with dainty sandwiches, cakes and a pot of something lovely. Just choose your favourite venue and let the scone-scoffing commence.

Do I need to bring anything for my spa day in Cumbria?

Most spa days in Cumbria include robes, towels and slippers, so you can drift from hot tub to treatment room without lifting a finger. All you really need to pack is your swimsuit and something cosy to wear on the way home. Heading to Bannatyne Carlisle? Just a heads-up: robes, towels and flip-flops aren’t included as standard, with a non-refundable fee from £10 per person. But you’re more than welcome to bring your own!

Dress codes can vary by venue. Some spots are strictly ‘robed and relaxed’, while other luxurious Cumbrian hotels call for something a little smarter at lunchtime. That’s why we list dress code details on every venue page. You’ll find them in the ‘Details’ section, so you know exactly what to expect.

Can I buy Cumbria spa day vouchers for my friends and family?

You absolutely can, and they make the perfect gift. Whether you’re sending someone on a spa day in Carlisle or gifting an open voucher so they can choose their own spot of Lake District luxury, it’s quick and easy. Just head to our spa vouchers page, pick your amount, add a personal note and choose email or post delivery. The lucky recipient will have 12 months to redeem it – and you’ll get major gift-giving points.

What’s usually included in a spa day in Cumbria?

Whether you’re booked into a spa hotel overlooking Lake Windermere or a zen spa garden tucked away in a tranquil spot near Ulverston, most spa days in Cumbria include at least one ritual. Expect to find mood-boosting massages, glow-getting facials and soothing body scrubs mingling on the menu. Many of our best spas in Cumbria take inspiration from their surroundings using natural botanicals, so your treatment feels as grounding as the fells themselves. 

How long will my spa day last in Cumbria?

It depends on the package and location, but most Cumbria spa days offer half-day or full-day options. You might spend four luxurious hours soaking up the facilities at a spa near Carlisle, or enjoy an all-day retreat complete with lunch and fizz in a Penrith pampering palace. Some spas set time slots for thermal journeys, while others give you all-day access to pools, saunas and scenic relaxation suites. Either way, there’s no rush. Cumbria runs on nature time!
