Ideal venues for a romantic getaway or Valentine’s Day hotel break.

If you’re thinking of booking a romantic getaway or finding a Valentine’s Day hotel venue which offers something different, Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa or Wild Boar Estate may just be the ticket.

Romantic Lake District getaways are a wonderful treat at any time of the year, but especially around Valentine’s Day when you’re wanting to do something extra special for your spouse or partner.

And our two distinctive venues in the heart of the Lake District both offer the warmth, excitement and buzz of a romantic hotel break with plenty of adventure or relaxation on offer.

From outdoor Lake District adventures to spa and poolside R&R, fine dining and sumptuous food and drink to cosy fireside chats, we have an array of romantic activities to give you and your loved one the perfect stay away treat.

A romantic getaway in the Lake District

Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa is an ideal destination for a couple’s romantic getaway, short hotel break or a surprise Valentine’s Day treat.

Imagine driving up into the heart of the spectacular Lake District National Park, checking in and exploring the venue before enjoying a romantic dinner for two at either Blue Smoke or The W restaurants.

After a peaceful night’s sleep and a full English breakfast, there are so many options available to couples spending valuable time together away from the hustle and bustle of home and working life.

If the great outdoors is your thing, you can take a romantic walk together up one of the Wainwright fells to marvel at the beauty and scenery around Windermere.  Another wonderful way to spend time together is on a lakes cruise aboard an old fashioned paddle steamer.

There’s also the on-site Watersports Centre which offers couples the chance to take to the water in your own time to explore the shoreline at leisure on paddleboards or by kayak.

Or you could just hole up together in the spa all day, soaking up the relaxing atmosphere and gently unwinding with a thermal journey experience or spa treatment of your choice.  Our wide range of spa facilities, indoor and outdoor hot tubs and infinity pool are just the tonic for couples seeking a romantic escape and the chance to slow down and relax.

Intimate couple’s hotel break at Wild Boar Estate

A little more off the beaten track and a short drive away from the heart of Windermere is the chance for you and your partner to enjoy the peace and intimacy of Wild Boar Estate.

Set in 72 acres of its own private woodlands in the beautiful Gilpin Valley, the venue is a wonderful place to unwind with romantic woodland walks and fireside drinks. 

It offers an elegant contrast between the historic romance of the traditional coaching inn’s original features and oak beamed ceilings and the contemporary, chic and snazzy room designs.  From the moment you arrive, you will instantly feel at home.

The onsite Grill & Smokehouse restaurant gives you the chance to enjoy each other’s company in an intimate atmosphere, choose from a delightful, mouthwatering menu and share a bottle or two of fine wine.

There’s also the opportunity to sample a host of craft ales from the Brewhouse microbrewery or a dram from the wide selection of whiskies on offer.

Wild Boar Estate’s extensive grounds also allow you to enjoy a bit of outdoor adventure.  One of our most popular romantic activities for couples is our Falconry experience hawk walks, where you both have the chance to meet, handle and fly these beautiful falcons and learn about the bond between bird and falconer. 

There are woodland games to play too, with archery, clay pigeon shooting and axe throwing offering the chance to bring out a bit of competitive fun to proceedings! 

This rural estate and hotel gives couples a romantic escape with the perfect combination of peace, tranquility and the best nature has to offer.
