A PRESTIGIOUS Lake District spa up for two national awards thanks to its fabulous facilities and dreamy atmosphere.

The Falls Spa, at the Lodore Falls Hotel and Spa near Keswick, has been shortlisted for Best Outdoor Facilities at the 2020 Good Spa Guide, and Spa of the Year for the Midlands and North West regions in the 2020 Professional Beauty Awards.

The spa, which opened in November 2018, was designed to effortlessly blend with the natural beauty of the Lake District, while offering the top spa experience.

With a variety of outdoor experiences, including an infinity edge hydrotherapy pool and an ice-cold plunge bucket, guests are treated to a unique way to enjoy the Borrowdale valley.

And so, it's no surprise that the spa has been shortlisted for the Best Outdoor Facilities category, which is sponsored by Dale Sauna, and looks at locations that "provide an exceptional outdoor experience for guests".

But it's not just the outdoor setting that's magical, with a handful of saunas and steam rooms to choose from inside, and plenty of space to relax and unwind.

Director of Lodore Falls Hotel and Spa, Dani Hope, said: “We’re so pleased to get some good news whilst we are in lockdown

"[Our] outdoor facilities are by far the most popular part of the spa, with panoramic views across the lake to the mountains where guests can enjoy the Lake District in a very different way.”

The winners of the Good Spa Guide awards will be announced on November 24 at a virtual awards ceremony, and the Professional Beauty Awards will also take place as a virtual ceremony on December 8.
