An award-winning Lake District hotel and restaurant is "quickly becoming a celebrity hangout".

Just this month, Strictly Come Dancing star Maisie Smith was pictured at Lodore Falls Hotel & Spa in Keswick, for a romantic getaway with Wanted boyband member boyfriend Max George. And it appears they are far from the only famous faces.

Bill Bailey, the comedian, actor, and singer, also visited Lodore Falls just recently.

According to staff, Bill stayed at the hotel as part of a family reunion and dined at the restaurant with his family in the evening. Staff said that Bill and his family’s visit was ‘excellent.’

Lodore Falls Hotel & Spa and Mizu Pan have drawn several celebrities in the past, including Colin Firth and Simon Pegg.

Love Islander's Molly Mae-Hague, the creative director of Pretty Little Thing, Tommy Fury, and Kady McDermott have also visited The Falls Spa.

Molly and Tommy spent a weekend at the hotel in a Premium Suite, while Kady enjoyed a Derwent Delight Spa Day which includes 2-hour spa access at The Falls Spa, a 50-minute treatment of choice, a Rasul Ritual and a 2-course lunch in Mizu.

Mizu Pan was deemed the finest Pan-Asian restaurant in England at the Golden Chopstick Awards, which were presented by Gok Wan in 2022.

In 2021, Lodore Falls Hotel & Spa was crowned as the ‘Best Countryside Getaway’ in the whole of the UK.

Competition was fierce, but the Lodore Falls Hotel & Spa came out on top and the award was bestowed to The Falls Spa manager Davina Hassell who said at the time: “I cannot express how much it means to both me, my spa team and the rest of the employees at the Lodore Falls Hotel & Spa to receive this award.” 

“After an unprecedented year of hotel closures, it is excellent that our beautiful, countryside hotel has gotten the recognition it truly deserves and every single team member across the hotel should be proud of themselves.”
