Pride of Britain Hotels, the consortium of 46 privately-owned independent British hotels and spas, has announced two new members – Armathwaite Hall Hotel and Spa near Keswick, one of the Lake District’s finest country house hotels, and Rockliffe Hall, an impressive 18th-century red-brick mansion in County Durham.
Armathwaite Hall Hotel and Spa, Cumbria
Situated close to Keswick on the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake, in the beautiful Lake District, four-star Armathwaite Hall Hotel and Spa (pictured above) has 46 individually-designed bedrooms with lake, park or garden views. The former stately home is set in 400 acres of deer park and woodland and is framed by the dramatic Skiddaw mountains and Lake District fells. The hotel offers informal, contemporary dining in The Courtyard Bar and Brasserie as well as fine dining in the Lake View Restaurant, renowned for showcasing local seasonal produce. The serene spa boasts a thermal suite, 10 treatment rooms and scenic views from the infinity pool and outdoor hot tub. An overnight stay at Armathwaite Hall Hotel and Spa costs from £200 per room (two sharing), including full Cumbrian breakfast and use of the spa.

Set within 375 acres on the banks of the River Tees, near the village of Hurworth, 18th-century red-brick mansion Rockliffe Hall (above) has 61 elegant guest bedrooms, three restaurants and an award-winning spa. Spread over 50,000 square feet, the spa features eight thermal rooms and a 20-metre pool (complete with spa butlers to keep guests refreshed with champagne and freshly-squeezed juices). The five-star hotel’s extensive grounds are home to an impressive championship golf course and a brand-new landscaped Spa Garden(opening 13 August), which features a hydrotherapy pool, Jacuzzi, decked lounging area, fire pit, water feature and sweeping views across the estate. An overnight stay at Rockliffe Hall costs from £220 per room (two sharing), including full English breakfast and use of the indoor spa.
Both luxury spa hotels have been through a rigorous vetting procedure prior to being accepted to ensure that all new members of the exclusive consortium provide the exceptional hospitality and high standards for which Pride of Britain Hotels is known. The addition of Armathwaite Hall Hotel and Spa and Rockliffe Hall takes the Pride of Britain collection to 46 member properties, close to the maximum of 50 allowed in its rules.
