Brimstone Hotel & Spa

If it’s out-and-out luxury you’re after, the Brimstone is the ideal choice.

This is a special place to really spoil yourself, modelled on a posh ski hotel: there are log-burning stoves and huge emperor beds in every room, a fabulously indulgent spa and customer ‘hosts’ on hand to arrange activities – everything at the Brimstone is designed to cater to your every need. There’s even a boot room with gear to borrow, supplied by premium brand Arc’teryx.

Factor in the wonderful location on a private estate in Langdale, and you have an adults-only hotel that really takes some topping.
