The T and L Diaries

The Lake District is an incredible place to start off with… but if you are looking for a relaxing retreat then you need to make your way to Bowness on Windermere.

This is The Aphrodites Boutique Suites. Aphrodites has 3 properties with these incredible suites in, all within a few minutes drive from the reception. The properties include Aphrodites Boutique Suites (Where reception is), Windermere Tranquil Retreat and Windermere Boutique Spa Suite.

We stayed in the Kairos Suite at the Windermere Tranquil Retreat property. Here’s what you can expect from this suite:

• Outdoor Area – Hot Tub, Barrel Sauna, Fire Pit, Lounging Chairs and Beautiful Views.
• Complimentary Breakfast in Bed.
• Complimentary Mini Bar – 2x Beers, 1x White, Red and Rose Wine and Soft Drinks.
• Coffee Machine and Tea Station.
• Ice Maker.
• Super King Size Bed.
• Large Feature Bath.
• Molton Brown toiletries, Bath Robes and Slippers.

Our review: This beautiful suite was incredible and the perfect date night away! Spending the afternoon/evening in the hot tub and sauna is the best way to relax and unwind! The bed was really comfy and the breakfast was delicious, it was still pipping hot when it got to us. We would recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing spa retreat in the English Countryside.

Windermere Lake is only a short drive down the road, it’s a great place to have a walk around and bite to eat.

Booking Tips:

• Book in advance to receive 20% off of your stay!
• The Lake District can be hit and miss with the weather so for the best chance of sun we recommend booking between May – September. However there is a canopy over the hot tub if you go during winter if it rains.
• If there is a specific suite that you like, again book in advance as there is only one of each suite and they book up quick,
