Armathwaite Hall Hotel & Spa

Four hundred acres, ground-floor dog rooms with private patios, and a dog hairdryer

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A four-star AA Inspectors Choice country house on four hundred acres above Bassenthwaite Lake, family owned since 1976, with a large spa and several restaurants. Dog rooms are all on the ground floor with their own garden access and patio, which matters after a wet fell day. The adjoining Lake District Wildlife Park is part of the same estate. It suits people who want space and facilities rather than a village base.

Dog rooms are ground floor with direct garden access and a patio. The Hall Lounge takes dogs from 10am to 7pm and you can eat there. The Dining Room, The Grill and the spa are people only, and room service is set up as the alternative for dinner. Tell the hotel at booking and keep dogs on the lead in the lounge and grounds.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
