Set on the peaceful southern shore of Lake Windermere, the Lakeside Hotel & Spa offers a serene and inspiring base for corporate events. Originally a 17th-century coaching inn, this four-star retreat combines heritage with contemporary comfort in one of the UK’s most stunning natural locations. Just a short drive from the M6 and within easy reach of Penrith and Kendal, Lakeside offers a breath of fresh air for leadership retreats, away days and strategy sessions, all in the heart of the Lake District National Park.

Lake District team retreats

Whether you're planning a board meeting, away day or strategy session, Lakeside Hotel & Spa offers a peaceful and professional setting where teams can step back and refocus. The purpose-built Windermere Suite sits just across from the main hotel and is ideal for team building activities, workshops or presentations of up to 100 guests. It features natural light, state-of-the-art AV, and a privacy glass screen that switches opaque at the touch of a button.

Inside the main hotel, you’ll find a selection of flexible meeting rooms designed to support collaboration. From quiet thinking spaces for two to larger suites for up to 100 delegates, each room is filled with natural light and adaptable for your needs. There’s the option for exclusive use too, giving your team the freedom to connect without distraction. And with the lake just steps away, it’s easy to take a breather and reset between sessions.

Whether it’s a one-day workshop or a residential team retreat, the lakeside location makes it easy to focus on what matters and to step outside for a breath of fresh air when needed. For something a little different, take to the water with a private Lake Cruise. Ideal for  post-meeting socials, it’s a chance to unwind together while enjoying the views. The boat comes fully equipped with onboard facilities, including a bar, for a relaxed and memorable experience.

Lake views and comfort

After a productive day, guests can unwind in one of the hotel’s comfortable and stylish bedrooms. Each room blends elegant design with modern amenities and many enjoy views over Lake Windermere or the surrounding gardens. 

Dining at Lakeside is a key part of the experience. The Lakeview Restaurant serves seasonal, locally inspired dishes in an elegant setting, with views across the water. For a more relaxed option, John Ruskin’s Brasserie and The Muddy Boot offer hearty meals and local drinks in warm, welcoming surroundings, perfect for casual team dinners or end-of-day wind downs.

Wellbeing is also a central part of the experience, with an Elemis spa, heated indoor pool, gym and outdoor spa garden available for guests to enjoy. Whether it’s a morning swim, a lunchtime walk by the lake, or a spa treatment to close the day, the venue offers space to recharge both body and mind.

Fresh air, focused minds

Lakeside Hotel & Spa offers everything you need to step away from the office and reconnect as a team. With flexible meeting rooms, tailored packages, stunning surroundings and a relaxed, professional atmosphere, it’s the ideal choice for company retreats, leadership gatherings and team building in the Lake District. Get in touch with our events team to start planning your stay.

Bender UK

“I just wanted to say thank you for making our Team Building Day at Eaves Hall such a fantastic event. All the staff thoroughly enjoyed the day and I think I can honestly speak for everyone at Bender UK and say that it has been our best event to date!! The venue was stunning, the weather was glorious and we couldn’t have asked for a better day. Ben, we thought the team building games were excellent and it was great to see our staff not only working together as a team but having a laugh and enjoying it at the same time. I honestly couldn’t fault the day and even the more sceptical members of staff who said they hate team building, came away smiling. 😊”
