Great location
Very good staff. The Winander section has its own very helpful staff and breakfast with great views.
The room we had was a very spacious and well designed. My only comment was a shaving mirror would have been useful given the distance to the actual mirror.
The spa access for hotel Guests was somewhat more limited than expected and the outdoor areas were completely separate and require extra payment. What is left in the swimming pool area is a little bit more limited than similar properties in the area we have tried.

We stayed in Winander Club rooms at Low Wood Spa. We had a beautiful room with bath and wonderful view. The staff were great very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was great we had two fab meals in the restaurants the Smoke bay and W.

We had two Spa treatments and used the Spa facilities. The only unfortunate experience was that unless you book a day Spa for extra £70 per person you cannot use the Thermal Spa area which was fully booked the whole 4 days were there. Not sure why the use of the Thermal Spa is not available when you pay a premium for the Winander rooms. Other Spas with Thermal area (Eg Hoars Cros I have stayed before don't operate like this which was a shame.

Hotel is very nice but website and booking very misleading.. photos and name suggests spa facilities available for all but hotel guests do not get use of the spa and is actually an addition (which we were totally unaware of). When trying to add the spa to the booking, we were told it was fully booked!!
The whole point of a spa resort is to be able to have a spa and relaxing day, if it was made more clear, we would have just booked a standard B&B which would have been a fraction of the cost!
We did mention this to staff, but they weren't interested and just got fobbed off.
Not welcoming at all, and not helpful or interested.. not be staying here again for sure!

The room was clean as always, stayed here a few times now. This time in the main hotel as we had our dog with us so had a pet friendly room and it was lovely.
My only issues around the hotel are the lack of air con in the room and in the W restaurant. I realise this current weather isn’t the norm, but a fan isn’t the greatest. The staff are always fab, and otherwise it was a nice stay. Room was spacious which helped when having our pet
Will possibly stay again in future

Arrived and there was a lovely man who greeted us in our car. Pointed us in the right direction. Check in was quick & easy & staff lovely & welcoming.
Room was lovely. Bigger than we expected. Bed was so comfy!
Breakfast was delicious. All fresh & hot & lots of choice! Unfortunately we were unable to get in either of the restaurants as they were fully booked. Booking online before you go is a must!
Highly recommend & would definitely book again!

Everything was great and fantastic. The spa was incredible, the staff were lovely, and the hotel’s environment and lake view were beautiful. The only problem was the hotel’s Wi-Fi—it was really weak.

Last minute booking. Hotel is nice overlooking the lake with excellent spa.
Dinner was excellent. We stayed in room 3 on the ground floor. There was a musty smell walking down the corridor. The room was clean and spacious and overlooked the lake but a bit tired looking.
Most of the staff were very friendly but the girl that checked us in was so unhelpful. We had never stayed here before she just gave us the key and some gingerbread and said straight down the corridor room 3 turn left. Gave us no information on the facilities of the hotel. We did not know you could pay a surcharge and use the outdoor spa area. We didn’t know there were 3 restaurants. She just could have sold the hotel and its facilities much more to us and explained options. If I was to stay here again I would look for a room in the newer block of the hotel and book the extra spa service. I did have a treatment in the spa and it was excellent. Overall a nice hotel but the reception staff are your first point of contact they need to be welcoming friendly and informative.

We were returning customers to Low wood bay @ the winander club. We were slightly disappointed to see that spa access was no longer included in Winander rooms but it is a beautiful spa, so we paid the extra £140. We were disappointed to find out if you wanted to borrow some slippers for the spa, they were also chargeable now. And on check out I was very shocked to see they were also now charging £12 per day to park your car if you hadn’t booked directly with them. I don’t think I’ve ever stayed at a hotel that has charged you to use their car park, particularly after spending over £1000 on our stay. We left feeling disappointed and will chose to stay at other hotels in the lakes going forward now.

Stayed at Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa for 3 nights and honestly… the thermal journey is the only reason I’d come back.

Rooms are pretty meh—dated and not the cleanest. We were in room 166 and there were visible spill stains on the wall (not great), but it did have incredible lake views. It was also super convenient being so close to the elevator to take you to the spa.

Read the fine print: access to the main pool (with infrared sauna + eucalyptus steam) is limited to 2.5 hours. Family time is early morning, and adults-only is 5:30–8pm, which felt oddly restrictive and honestly a bit like a bait-and-switch.

We ended up booking the thermal journey + massage for $400, which is a lot. That said, the spa itself is next level—one of the best I’ve been to. Outdoor hot tubs, multiple saunas… highlights were the wood-fired sauna, salt sauna, indoor whirlpool, and the “Lost in the Clouds” massage (incredible—should’ve gone longer).

Food at the hotel is subpar. We couldn’t get into Blue Smoke because I didn’t book in advance but overall options were limited. Breakfast is included (7:30–10am), but it’s the same spread daily and just okay.

£12/day for parking. Location is great—about 10 minutes to Ambleside and Grasmere—but you’ll definitely need a car since there aren’t good dining options on-site. If you enjoy walking, there are beautiful hikes and trails right outside the hotel, which was a big plus.

Staff was friendly.

The room overlooking the lake was beautiful and the spa was amazing! Just make sure you book the thermal journey with the hotel asap as it gets booked up very quickly and we nearly missed out. The thermal spa journey was by far the best experince.

This hotel is 10/10 the staff the room the restaurant and especially the spa were amazing! we had a very easy check in and our bags bought up to our room. I had notified the hotel it was my boyfriends birthday so we received 3 birthday cards in total from the main hotel W restaurant staff and the spa. We had a lovely relaxing two days stay and will definitely be coming back. Would also like to mention the guest relations manager think his name was Craig but he was amazing and very accommodating when I had a few queries on my bill when checking out.

Lovely quiet courtyard room - 309 - would request again for the peaceful location. We have stayed in a lake view room in the past and would pick the courtyard over it, as it means you aren’t on the main road.

Decent stay. The room was nice and the location is perfection. The car park being an extra £12 a night considering that a stay is not cheap. The spa being £60 per person also did not seem like good value for money in my opinion as the service was non existent for the first hour of our experience. Overall, we left feeling that the stay overall was overpriced and not worth the money.

Underwhelming experience parts need updating

For the money this hotel charges you expect the overall experience to be much better. Situated on a noisy road the windows were droughty and had back mould on the silicone, the bathroom tiles needed grouting and the room felt tired, parts of the hotel felt luxurious but this didn’t run through the whole hotel unfortunately. Our experience was underwhelming, the W restaurant served excellent food, but the staff lacked experience and had to ask the kitchen about ingredients twice during us being served.
We won’t be returning to this hotel as I feel there are better establishments in the area which offer better luxury for the same sort of money.

Birthday Bliss – Rainbows, Relaxation & a Spa for All Weathers

Stayed for a birthday treat and it couldn’t have been more magical! Even with mixed weather, the spa was perfect—steamy outdoor pools with stunning views of Windermere, and cosy indoor thermal rooms to warm up in. We even saw a rainbow over the lake while relaxing in the hot tub!

Staff were lovely, the food was great, and the whole place felt like a luxury retreat. Rain or shine, Low Wood Spa is a dream. Can’t wait to go back! 💗

It was a wonderful stay, the only thing I can pick at, which is so minuscule is the fact there is such limited times on the spa use. Even then, I’m being picky.
Everything else, I can’t fault, one particular thing I have to mention as a positive is the staff are exceptional. They went out of their way, nothing was too much trouble and they were always available to help or let you know anything you had questions about.
Overall, we are planning out another trip to the lakes and this is a possible choice

Lovely hotel but watch what’s included

Low Wood Bay is a lovely hotel with amazing facilities. The room was spot on, restaurants top notch and spa facilities excellent. The only criticism I’d have is that even as a resident you need to pay extra to use the outdoor pool and hot tubs - that was a bit cheeky and also steep at £25 per person. It’s not a cheap hotel anyway, which is fine, and is reflected in the quality but not when you have to pay for extras like that.

Let me start by saying thank you to the whole team for making our recent stay so incredible. We were with you last week Wednesday - Friday. We were put in one of the upper level rooms with a partial view of the lake and it was a fantastic room. From our very first interaction with security at the gate, to checking in with David who was excellent, and all of our interactions whilst we were with you, we had a lovely time. We also booked Thermal journey and a treatment each which we had on the Thursday, the spa was equally as impressive. We also had the pleasure of meeting Puppy Holly (and Tim) which was one of my fiancés highlights. Special mention to Mel in the Winander bar who was lovely and we had several conversations with.

Disappointing

Stay was okay but disappointing. The overall hotel is very nice looking until you get to the rooms at the end of the hotel. The room was very noisy and you could hear the room next door having a normal conversation and any time someone walked near the room you could hear the floors creak. This was not helped by the staff that need to service the rooms had a room opposite ours that was in use a lot. For the price i would not recommend it.

Stayed in the Winander Club, room 888 which was excellent. The hotel and grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The staff were very helpful and friendly and we had our own reception area which was quick. Our room as on the top floor with only one other room. We had a really comfortable bed, bath in main room, good. Size bathroom with nice products and complimentary sweets. But by far the best selling point is the room balcony with amazing views of lake Windermere. Nothing better than sitting have a morning tea / coffee looking at the lake and fells in the cool morning air.
Ultimately we can't fault this hotel and our going to look to make it out base to celebrate our wedding anniversary every year.
Our only suggestion would be for there to be outside towels to dry off plastic balcony furniture and perhaps blankets so you can spend more time enjoying the outside room space as there are no heaters.

Great hotel, shame about the room.

Spa weekend was amazing and throughly enjoyed.
However the night in the hotel was terrible. Room was loud from all directions. Banging and trolleys as well as people through the corridors. Also the room was too hot with no fan or aircon. However the window opened fully, this was directly onto a pathed walkway outside so again was noisy and not secure as anyone could have entered the room through an open window. If you get room 312 I would go and ask for a different one !

Not great

The view from our room was the only positive for our stay, although what they don't show you in the photos is that the hazel room (I think that's what we had) is actually above the main road so you hear & see all the cars going by from beneath your balcony. We had breakfast in the room both mornings, and both days the cooked food was freezing cold! The scrambled eggs were also a little grey looking, very odd. We ended up having to have an earlier lunch out both days as we were still hungry due to not being able to eat the cold cooked breakfasts (there was also an £8.50 charge per day for it to be delivered), the staff also weren't very friendly or approachable, when walking past they didn't look up & smile or say hello like we've been used to in other hotels, they just seemed unhappy like they didn't really want to be there! Such a shame as we were really looking forward to our stay, but it left us feeling disheartened & not wanting to return

The new part of the hotel was very modern and complimented the older part. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Our room was on a corner in the old part and was bug and comfortable and even has a partial lake view which was lovely. Plenty of choice for breakfast which was in a lovely big bright room.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property, overall it was a very positive experience with attentive, considerate staff and services. It is in a great area to travel to Windermere, Ambleside or really anywhere else in the Lake District. The only slight let down was the spa; you have to pay extra for spa access even after paying for a treatment. Additionally the details around access times & costs varied depending on which staff you spoke to.

Spectacular

I cannot fault the hotel at all we all wished that we had booked for longer. Everything we needed was catered for, the views from the room and the grounds are spectacular. Unlike other hotels where we are downgraded on the room due to having our dog with us this was not the case he was welcomed with his own bed, towels, bowls and even treats.
We had our evening meal in the bar and the food didn't disappoint either 😋 The only downside was the restaurant staff at breakfast instead of laying the table outside the restaurant so we could eat with our dog as we were told they would we had to eat in the bar area leaving my disabled 80 year mother to rely on us bringing what we thought she would like instead of choosing herself. Breakfast was wonderful but it did blot the copybook.
We will definitely be returning though

Lovely one night stay.
