Welcome to the Whitewater Hotel Spa and Leisure Club, giving you the best of the Lake District. The Whitewater Hotel is the ultimate Lake district retreat featuring the fantastic Cascades Leisure Club & Spa. Situated in the picturesque Lakeland Village, Backbarrow, just one mile south of the world famous Lake Windermere and nearby the Historic market town Ulverston.
The hotel building itself is steeped in history; it was formally a Dolly Blue pigment factory making the world famous "Dolly Blue" and was also a Victorian cotton mill. Many artefacts have been preserved and the blue pigment is still evident throughout the building. The hotel today also includes an award winning restaurant. The 38 luxury en-suite bedrooms nearly all enjoy stunning riverside views.
This hotel really is the ideal place to escape from the fast pace of life for a few days and the perfect location to discover the sights and delights of the South Lakes and Cumbria. The fabulous Cascades Spa and Leisure Club consists of the large heated indoor pool, steam room, sauna, jacuzzi, large gymnasium and even a squash court.

The history of the building dates back as far as Tudor times as a corn mill controlled by the monks of Cartmel Priory.
As time passed, the unique position of the mill on the banks of the fast flowing River Leven, running from Lake Windermere, enabled this building to be used for many purposes.
During it's time so far the building has been used as a paper mill, Ainsworth's cotton mill and then the Reckitts Ultramarine pigment factory before it being turned into the hotel it is today.
The last manufacturing venture of the mill was the production of blue pigment bags which became a revolutionary way for laundries to bring that "whiter than white" look into their customers laundry!
