UK LAKES MINI SPA BREAK
GROUP HOLIDAYS FOR INDEPENDENT WOMEN AGED 25 - 59
Next Spa Break Dates: 18-19 JAN 2026
From £198pp
Itinerary below
Start 2026 in style and join us for a fabulous mini adventure and spa break in the beautiful Lake District in the north of the UK, exploring stunning viewpoints and the incredible Rydal Cave and staying in a luxury 4* hotel and spa overlooking Lake Windermere!
Join us in the Lake District on Sunday 18 to Monday 19 January 2026 for a stunning mini adventure spa break and taster of what Travel Queen group holidays for women (aged 25-59) are all about! We're staying in a gorgeous luxury 4* hotel overlooking Lake Windermere, that has the most amazing spa (that I fell in love with on a recent trip with my friend!), I'll be taking you on guided walks to explore nearby viewpoints and caves and you'll have more options to enjoy over the two days too.
I'll personally be hosting this trip and making sure you have an amazing time with other women in our community, many of who have never met. It's my job to make us all feel comfy and like a new group of friends from as soon as we meet, which I have a lot of experience in doing on all of our overseas group holidays I have run! ☺️ So please don't worry about not knowing anyone yet at all.
Here's the plan below...

OUR ITINERARY
DAY 1 - SUN 18 JAN - MEET YOUR GROUP, EXPLORE, SPA & DINNER!
We'll meet in central Windermere at 11am and get to know each other on our hike up to the fantastic Orrest Head, with stunning panoramic views over Lake Windermere and the surrounding fells at the top! If you have a good level of general fitness and are steady on your feet, you'll find this a fairly easy walk... but to get to any good viewpoints, you have to walk up and down some hills of course, so there are some steep parts! It should take us around a couple of hours, including lots of time for soaking up views, taking pictures, and to enjoy a picnic lunch at the top.
Our meeting point has a paid car park in the centre of Windermere if you're driving, and is opposite Windermere Railway Station if you'll be travelling by train. After our hike we'll hop back in our cars for the 10 minute drive to the gorgeous Low Wood Bay Resort and Spa, to get checked into our rooms. Then from late afternoon until early evening... it's spa time ladies! The hotel has two spa options for you to choose from, explained below.
Once we're all super relaxed after a few hours chilling and spa-ing, whichever option you go for, we'll meet in the evening at the hotel's lovely restaurant for dinner and drinks to end the day.
Option 1: Free use of indoor health club spa area (included in £198pp price)
There is a very lovely heated indoor pool, jacuzzi, poolside steam and sauna rooms and relaxation beds (that I'd say are of a much higher standard than the average spa hotel!) and use of this space is included in the price of the trip, with the facilities available to hotel guests from 7.30am-10am and 5.30pm-8pm, when it's also adults only, so even more relaxing! (You also have use of the fitness lounge if you've not done enough exercise with us 😅)
Option 2: Upgrade to the award winning full indoor and outdoor spa experience!
Your second option is to upgrade to the full spa experience, which has been awarded as a 'Luxury 5 bubble Spa' by the Good Spa Guide as one of the best spa experiences in the country! 🤩 With amazing views over Lake Windermere and the distant Lake District fells, my friend Rachel and I were just blown away by this place when we first discovered it in December last year, and I immediately thought, I need to bring our Travel Queens here ☺️🩵
There are fantastic indoor and outdoor thermal facilities, allowing you to soak up the relaxing surroundings and views of the lake from both, and there's just something so special about doing that outdoors in the fresh air, while sat in a wonderfully warm infinity pool or hot tub, as you sip on whatever you fancy from the cute little poolside bar! 🥂 (Brought to you by the helpful waiters so you don't even have to move 😀)
The indoor thermal space has 5 experiences including a relaxation pool, bubble spa, herbal infusion room with relaxing swings, coconut infused steam room, himalayan salt sauna and the relaxation lounge, complete with comfy loungers, egg chairs and free sample Espa face masks and moisturiers, fruit infused water and treats like mini chocolate brownies!
The show-stopping outdoor area has two amazing heated infinity pools and two outdoor hot tubs, perfectly designed for soaking up the stunning lake views and for early evening sunsets and star gazing 🤩 There's also an outdoor 'Fellside Sauna' in this space and fab outdoor seating areas complete with fire pits; yet more perfect spots to relax and enjoy the panoramic views out over the Lake District as you get to know your new friends (and possible new travel buddies on a future adventure with us!) 😊
If you're wondering if it will be warm enough here in January to enjoy all these outdoor delights, don't worry... my friend, Rachel, and I were definitely warm enough even at night in December, in all of the outdoor facilities. That fresh air on your face, while the rest of you is so warm, is actually a lovely feeling that adds to the experience!
To upgrade and spoil yourself to three hours' use of the full spa on Sunday 18 January, prices start from £65 and you can book this yourself. We'll let you know the details of how to do that once you have booked your place on the trip, which I highly recommend doing as soon as possible as this is a very popular spa and they do limit numbers so it doesn't get too busy, so availability can sell out quickly.
We will have a Facebook group for this mini break, for the ladies coming along to meet and chat about who's up for which spa options and the times to book etc. We'll send you a link to that private Facebook group once you have booked your place.
DAY 2 - MON 19 JAN - BREAKFAST, FREE TIME & MORE EXPLORING!
Enjoy a delightfully hearty, full cooked and continental breakfast buffet and then recover in one of the hotel's comfy lounge areas with views over Lake Windermere! 😁
Choose one of the following options for the afternoon:
-
Head to the hotel's health club pool and poolside steam and sauna rooms for more relaxation (included in trip price and available to hotel guests from 7.30am-10am)
-
Treat yourself to a spa treatment, or even more time in the upgraded spa!
-
Drive into Ambleside or Windermere for a wander
-
Hop on a boat for a scenic cruise of Lake Windermere, surrounded by stunning views of the surrounding fells (the dock is just a few minutes' drive from our hotel)
-
Have a go at one of the water sports options at our resort's marina, from paddle boarding to kayaking and more
-
Enjoy another walk around this beautiful area, and join me to explore the stunning Rydal Cave!
We'll all meet back up around 4/5pm to enjoy a lovely final meal together at a cosy pub to wrap up our weekend before saying goodbye... or more likely, see you on the next adventure! 😀

Who is this mini break for?
This weekend break is for women only, aged 25-59, with a good level of health and fitness; as is the case for all of our group trips.
Is it ok for me to come on my own without knowing anyone?
Yes absolutely, that's how almost all of the women who join us start off, without knowing anybody else! That's why we're here, to bring you all together and create amazing group experiences where those first time nerves quickly melt away and before you know it you're having a fabulous time and making new friends for life! An experienced group leader is a key part of making this happen and this mini break will be run personally by myself (Travel Queen owner, Mel, here! 👋)
It's my job to make us all feel comfy and like a new group of friends from as soon as we meet, which I have a lot of experience in doing on all of our overseas group holidays that I run! I'll pair people up to share rooms which is also all part of the group experience, and I've been told I'm pretty good at matching people up who get along too. So please don't worry about not knowing anyone yet at all, you're in safe hands! ☺️
