Lake District

Vows & Venues’ Wendy Allen-Smith took a trip to Penrith in Cumbria and found the perfect wedding venue which can be combined with a relaxing break…

The North Lakes Hotel and Spa is unbelievably easy to find, even for me, and without a satnav. It is a great location for guests travelling from north or south of the hotel. We stayed for a short overnight spa break, to unwind and relax in lovely surroundings which was not too far off the beaten track and within easy reach of the Lake District. 

The Beech Hill Hotel & Spa overlooking Lake Windermere with beautiful views and outstanding service will be showcasing some of the best local suppliers to help you plan the perfect wedding day. Our wedding fayre takes place on a Sunday 7 April 2019 12pm to 4pm.

Hotel review: Macdonald Leeming House, Ullswater, Penrith – by Editor Victoria Galligan

If, like me, you live relatively close to the Lake District but don’t get the chance to visit often, then stop. Drop everything. And go! As we drove up through Cumbria and along the winding roads approaching Ullswater, I was reminded of previous visits filled with pottering around lakesides, visiting tea shops and feasting in country pubs. I also found myself wondering why we don’t visit more often.

Visit Oxley Health Spas and immerse yourself in a tranquil world of total relaxation, inspired by the natural beauty and peaceful ambience of the stunning Lake District, where wellbeing is at the heart of all we do. With two day spas to choose from, Oxley’s at Ambleside in the heart of the town or Oxley’s at Underscar, near Keswick, on the slopes of the majestic Skiddaw Fell, you can be assured of a first class health spa experience guaranteed to renew mind, body and soul.

Allow our professional team of spa therapists and hair stylists to pamper and replenish you with treatments using only the finest product ranges, including Decleor, Jessica, Redken, as well as Jane Iredale Mineral Make Up and Alterna.
