place to stay in the lakes

[Bronte]

Any recommendations of reasonably priced family b and b's pubs, hotels . Ambleside area preferred but anywhere else considered. Also for future ref any cottage recommendations. Thankyou for any replies!

lakelovers.co.uk are really good for self catering cottages

Try welcome cottages.

Also Pepper house at Sattersthwaite used to be fantastic, but it is years since we went!

national trust always great. spacious and good price out of season. I have found them consistantly good and locations fantastic

Thankyou for the ideas. Found pepper house on web site but say no chidren under 8!! This makes my blood boil. Have one daughter who will be 8 and Charlotte is 2. Find this sort of child discrimination far too often. only in Britain can this sort of thing happen so much.

lol they allow dogs though , how ridic !!! so bloody prehistoric to be like that, so many cool family places now.

dont know what yuor budget is , but looked up the area out of curiosity , the waterhead hotel looks interesting. Could be totally way off in terms of what you like though , but anywwre with kids club means they have familys staying !

Nab Cottage is very interesting (literary connections) and welcomes children but the rooms aren't (all) ensuite. It is between Ambleside and Grasmere. The home made bread was excellent!

Nab Cottage looks lovely. have just emailed a booking enquiry. Thankyou!
