Take Time and Make Time to Relax, Recoup, Reflect, Rejuvenate and Simplify Your Life.

A hectic work schedule that starts at the crack of dawn and finishes late into the eve.  A social life that fills all those boxes on your calendar with events, catch-ups, dinner parties and family get-togethers.  Your children’s social life that embarrassingly knocks the socks off yours.  A chaotic home life that does not comply with any rule book, agenda or structure.  All completely normal things. All stupidly realistic things.  All things you cannot say no to.  Things that make life, life.  You see this is the sign of the times, in this crazy world we live in, and we just seem to cram it with ‘stuff’.  Maybe it is time to simplify your ‘stuff’.  How easy is it to rush through life without noticing life itself?  Ignoring that sense of being in the present moment.  Is it a wonder why life flies by?  If only we took time to relax, recoup, reflect and rejuvenate our senses, body and mind.  It will not appear by itself, this mindful matter, book a slot and dedicate yourself fully to experience this sweet feeling.  Keep a weekend free this Summer, cart off your little beloveds and head to the Lakeside Hotel for a much-needed breath-taking breather at their Aveda Spa.

You may have dabbled in the attempt to zone out in the bathtub with a floating rubber duck for company.  Or perhaps in your garden by the endless collections of footballs, frisbees and mouldy skipping ropes.  Pretty impossible is it not?  For it will not be long before a missing sock must be found ‘immediately’ and dinner must be christened before hungry stomachs create havoc.  As the Lakeside Hotel is nestled in the most tranquil part of Lake Windermere, it is hard not to arrive here, look at the lakeshore view and sigh with instant relaxed relief away from everyday life.  The only hotel in the Lake District with an Aveda Destination Spa makes for an ideal sanctuary and hideaway destination to start your restful journey.  Yesterday’s stresses, trials and tribulations are in the past, as you feel your cares evaporate and discover how to simply be.  The hotel offers a lovely handful of Spa Experience Breaks, that are so cleverly perfected by their spa’s professionals they will feel as though they are tailor-made just for you.  For your mind, your body and your soul.  Relish in the treatments with skilled therapists, succumb to the sauna, steam room and jacuzzi and glide through the warmth of the pool.

Their Seasonal Spa Escape is just the tonic for your tired limbs as you indulge yourself in this package of an hour spa treatment with bespoke advice from a professional spa therapist.  You can either opt for the full body massage, luxury facial or combine the two for unbeatable wellbeing.  Then experience a tasteful journey with Lakeside’s seasonal three-course lunch looking out onto the beauty of the lake.  Find deep restful sleep under a super soft duvet after a long hot soak and a day filled with mindfulness in the room of your choice.  Wake up glowing with radiance and a comforting feeling of being refreshed and renewed while you make your way down to find a luxury breakfast awaiting you.

Lakeside’s Ultimate Lake District Spa Break is a superior luxury indeed.  Enjoy a three-hour spa journey complete with a body polish, massage, luxury facial, scalp treatment and all within your very own private lakeshore lodge.  Get lost in the moment of bubbling champagne at afternoon tea on your terrace and experience the relaxation a little longer with a three-night stay and mornings of delectable breakfasts.  This package is perfect for those who want that extra slice of heaven set in the prettiest of locations, within the stunning walls of Lakeside.  An extravagant treat, yes.  But never underestimate the power and benefits of a break to just focus on you.  Absolutely priceless.

Maybe a day is enough to restore oneself or with your loved one in a couples spa day.  Their Luxury Spa Day package starts with immersing yourself in the whimsical Windermere Lake view while nibbling at Danish pastries and sipping freshly squeezed orange juice and rich brewed coffee.  Walk amongst the lush green hotel grounds scattered with flora and fauna.  Maybe swim in the serenity of the pool before donning your robe, slippers and embarking on your spa adventure.  Cherry pick from the tranquil treatments to create the best spa day and make full use of the sauna, jacuzzi, eucalyptus steam room and gym before heading out into those hills and back to the reality of home.

The Lakeside’s Aveda Spa also provides an alternative day out or breakaway for memorable hen parties, family celebrations, corporate entertaining or a chance for the girls to get together.  Introducing their Group Spa Day packages that are expertly designed with you and your occasion in mind.  Choose to include lunch, afternoon tea, private dinner, twilight spa evenings and oodles of champagne!  To check availability, to make a start on planning your event and creating your very own hotel and spa package, contact them on 015395 30001.

Relaxation and mindfulness are not just a trend, the in-thing or a popular hype.  The benefits are essential, very real and one of the healthiest things you should incorporate into your crazy life as often as you can.  Or as often as your schedule can.  Your work, hectic home life and one-hundred-miles-per-hour children will still be there when you get back.  But for that short period of your time here, embrace the restoration that these spa retreat packages will give you.  Spend time at the Lakeside Hotel, with its luxury, tranquillity by the lake, sumptuous spa treatments, restful nights of sleep in the big comfy beds of beautiful rooms, taste the treats of delicious dining and find escapism in the perfect hideaway within the perfect hills of the Lake District.
