About Whitewater Hotel & Spa

Newby Bridge sits at the southern tip of Windermere, a quieter gateway to the Lake District where walking routes, cycling trails and the water itself are all close at hand. Whitewater Hotel & Spa makes the most of this position, giving guests a base with its own leisure facilities alongside the surrounding countryside.

Rooms come as en-suite doubles, family rooms and accessible options, with drinks available in room and a lift serving the building. Guests can expect breakfast, packed lunches for days out, and a restaurant and bar for evening meals, with outdoor seating for warmer weather. Room service is also available for those who prefer to stay put. The spa area includes a sauna, gym and indoor swimming pool, useful after a day on the fells or the water, and meeting rooms are available for those combining business with the setting.

Beyond the hotel, the area offers fishing, horse riding, golf and watersports, plus pubs and restaurants nearby for those who want to venture out. Free on-site parking is provided, making it straightforward to explore the wider Lake District from a base in Newby Bridge.
