Looking for a lovely hotel in the Lakes

[AuntieMarys]

2 adults, budget up to £200 a night. We will be going out of school holidays mid week.

I have always wanted to go here: another.place

Lakeside hotel and Spa is lovely

My sister lives in Grasmere. Loads of nice hotels there. And it's a good central base. The afternoon tea at The Wordsworth is lovely.

Lakeside hotel and spa is really relaxing

Aynsome Manor in Cartmel is lovely. And Armathwaite Hall near Keswick.

Wild Boar at Windermere - rooms nothing special but food is amazing, plus there's a micro-brewery and wonderful collection of whiskies in the bar. Big roaring fire to enjoy, too.

The Inn on the Lake in Glenridding on Ullswater. Or Armathwaite hall at Bassenthwaite

Lodore is good with children and has pool, high tea etc.

Great suggestions! Will probably be September time.
Thanks x

Have a look at Storrs Hall. We had our mini honeymoon there. It was beautiful, peacefully away from traffic and had a lovely garden/ grounds right on the lake.

I always wanted to go to The Samling - but it was a while ago so not sure if it is still good.

Lindeth Howe, amazing food

Recently came across this pub with rooms in the Lake District, but it looks very swish, and the food in the restaurant looks great (v good Trip Advisor too): Kirkstile Inn

I used to work at the Kirkstile! Lovely. But be isolated.

Very isolated!

The wild boar is lovely!

Holbeck Ghyll is lovely

The Kirkstile is lovely. I’ve had dinner there. The Inn in the lake in Ullswater I would not recommend. I went there last year and hated it.

Wild boar every time. Luxurious but not pretentious.

North lakes (just along from Blencathra). Beautiful, off beaten track, and you eat breakfast up a spiral staircase in a medieval Pele tower. Amazing!

Whitbarrow is lovely. The hotel bit is adults only.

Merewood Country House Hotel in Windermere - lovely and relaxed, but doesn't have spa facilities or anything. Food amazing.

Lodore Falls just outside Keswick.

Wild Boar also lovely.

Askham Hall, although not quite the "right" area of the Lakes.

Kirkstile is lovely but it might be better to have a meal there one night/afternoon instead, rather than staying as it is isolated. That said, the Lorton Valley and surrounding area is arguably the most stunning part of the Lakes (local here).

Punch Bowl at Crosthwaite.

If you are able to push the boat out a little, then both the Gilpin and Forestside are wonderful.

Another vote for the Merewood! It's beautiful 😍

Sado..we are staying at lindeth Howe next month.
Didn’t it use to be Beatrix potters old home?

I would recommend either, The Inn on The Lake or Storrs Hall.

The Inn on the Lake is a lovely, quite modern looking hotel.

Storrs Hall is like an old stately home.

Both are in wonderful lakeside locations and have a lovely homely but luxurious feel to them.

I'm not sure why there's several recommendations for the Wild Boar. If I'm thinking of the right place it's basically a pub on a fairly busy road. There a so many much more scenic locations to stay at. I have eaten there a few times. A few years ago the food was great. We ate there this Autumn though when we were last in the Lakes and we were really disappointed. It is not like it used to be at all.
