Friday
Check in from 15:00 at the beautiful Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa. You’re welcome to arrive earlier, leave your bags and start enjoying the lakeside setting. Your WGYB host will be there to welcome you and get everyone settled for the weekend.
At 4:00pm, robes and slippers on - it's spa time! We'll spend the next 3 hours enjoying the award-winning lakeside thermal journey. Think heated infinity pools with stunning views, red light and face mask therapy, the fellside sauna, and a glass of bubbles from the hot tubs. The ultimate afternoon of relaxation, laughter and well-deserved indulgence.
This evening, we'll head to the hotel's beautiful W Restaurant for a 2-course dinner. It's the perfect chance to relax, connect and enjoy an evening of great food, flowing conversation and plenty of laughs with your fellow retreaters
Saturday
Enjoy breakfast at the hotel, followed by time to use the facilities, whether that’s a swim, sauna or relaxed coffee overlooking the water.
Later this morning, we'll jump into our private transfer and head off to explore some of the Lake District's most beautiful autumn scenery. Wrapped up in your cosy layers, it's time to blow away the cobwebs with fresh air, meaningful chats and breathtaking views as we enjoy a guided low-level walk through the fells.
Expect forest trails, waterfalls, stunning viewpoints and all the charm that makes the Lakes so special at this time of year. Along the way, there'll be the option to stop at a cosy traditional pub for lunch or refreshments, or you may prefer to bring your own snacks or pre-order a packed lunch from the hotel. We'll also have time to explore one of the area's picturesque villages, where you'll find a lovely café to grab a coffee and sweet treat before we make our way back.
While this is considered a gentle-to-moderate walk, there will be some hills and uneven terrain, so a reasonable level of fitness is recommended. Most importantly, it's about getting outdoors, enjoying the scenery and sharing a memorable day with your fellow retreaters.
Late afternoon-After a fun-filled day exploring the Lakes, retreat back to the hotel for some well-deserved free time. Curl up in a cosy nook in the lounge overlooking the lake, take a dip in the hotel’s indoor pool, enjoy a drink with the girls, or head back to your room for a slow evening of pampering and relaxation before dinner.
In the evening, we’ll come together for a two course dinner with a complimentary drink at Blue Smoke at Low Wood Bay. Enjoy creative international dishes perfectly prepared on the distinct wood-fired grill, all while taking in the stunning views over Windermere. Afterwards, enjoy a relaxed girls’ evening with games, chats and time together.
