Armathwaite Hall Crowned Best Countryside Hotel!
Armathwaite Hall Hotel and Spa is extremely proud to have been named Best Countryside Hotel at the Condé Nast Johansens Awards for Excellence 2026.
We are so fortunate to have the magnificent splendour of the Lake District and serene beauty of Bassenthwaite Lake right on the doorstep of our original stately home hotel.
With such a stunning location to live up to, we are always striving to make sure we provide the very best for our guests. Our accommodation is designed to provide you with a truly luxurious experience, with sumptuous surroundings and stunning views. We also have dog-friendly rooms, so your furry friends can enjoy a Lake District escape too!
Unparalleled dining experiences await you at Armathwaite Hall, courtesy of The Dining Room and The Grill – serving up delicious, locally sourced dishes. Fancy a drink? Our opulent Cocktail Bar is the place to be, with expert mixologists ready to prepare your favourite drink. Or, make your afternoon extra special with our famous Afternoon Tea, served against the beautiful backdrop of the breathtaking Lake District countryside.
Find true calm and serenity at the award-winning Armathwaite Spa: relax with a delightful Temple Spa or VOYA treatment, sip a glass of chilled Prosecco in our outdoor hydrotherapy pool, take a dip in our indoor infinity-edge pool, experience our traditional sauna and so much more.
As a valued guest, you can also experience unforgettable moments with our incredible estate activities. Practice your archery skills, take a walk with our friendly alpaca brothers and explore the beauty of the Lake District landscape with our guided fell walks.
Plus, animal lovers can enjoy a trip to the Lake District Wildlife Park: 24 acres of parkland, found on the Armathwaite Hall estate. Or, if you love an action-packed holiday, discover our paddleboarding and clay pigeon shooting experiences.
With so many varied experiences on offer, we are thrilled to have been recognised by the Condé Nast Johansens judges! The Awards for Excellence ceremony was held at the opulent Kimpton Fitzroy in London, with a gala dinner and plenty of glitz and glamour.
It was truly fantastic to be part of such a special event, surrounded by so many other passionate people from the hospitality industry. It is an honour to be featured alongside so many other wonderful hotel nominees.
