A 4 silver star hotel, and the former winner of Hotel of the Year, here, guests can soak up the charming rural setting and indulge in common Lake District activities, including sailing, pony riding across the fells or abseiling.
For a touch of R&R, let go of all your worries in the impressive and sensuous spa at the sister hotel, the Macdonald Old England Hotel, overlooking Lake Windermere. What's more, the hotel accepts dogs for an extra £15 a night (dependent on availability, inquire at the hotel first) - so you can bring your furry friends along for a break!
