Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa has been voted the best in North West England at the 2025 Good Spa Guide regional awards ceremony in London.
The resort beat off strong competition from a host of leading spas across the region.
The award recognises excellence across the UK spa industry, celebrating those who deliver outstanding guest experiences, world-class facilities and exceptional levels of care. It reinforces the position of the English Lakes Hotels venue amongst the best spas in the UK.
Delivered in partnership with leading spa services provider ESPA and with Elemis as sponsor, the Good Spa Guide ‘Best Spa in the North West’ award was based on the organisation’s precise ‘bubble rating’ assessments, along with expert insights and opinions from its ‘spa spies'.
The awards judges commented on Low Wood Bay’s calm spaces, which soak up Lake Windermere’s tranquillity, with its panoramic views and surrounding fells elevating the whole spa experience for guests.
"It was great to attend the awards at L’oscar London near Covent Garden and fantastic to come top in the region. The finalists were chosen through rigorous appraisal rather than a consumer-voted process. This national recognition underscores our commitment to offering one of the most exceptional spa experiences in the region.
“Last year we were the first in the North West to attain the prestigious ‘Five Bubble Luxury’ standard from the Good Spa Guide. Now we’ve gone a step further, not only because of our fantastic facilities and stunning lakeside location, but also because of our hard-working team.
“This award is a real reflection of the whole team’s efforts, passion and commitment to creating amazing experiences. They are what make Low Wood Bay spa truly special, and I’m incredibly proud of everything they deliver day in, day out.”
Gary Tennant, English Lakes Hotels Resorts & Venues
