The North Lakes
Even if you’re not a hardened hill walker, you can’t fail to be stunned by the Lake Districts scenery. It’s such a great place for a short break – whether you’re with the family, as a couple or with friends – because there’s so much to do. Naturally, lovers of the great outdoors are well catered for. But so are those who prefer more sedate pleasures like lake cruises and sightseeing. If you’re coming with the kids, make sure you introduce them to the Trekkers Den – packed with plenty of games and activities to keep all ages occupied. Whether you’re here to work or play, our stylish contemporary guest rooms, award winning dining options and complimentary Spa facilities will help to make your stay with us that little bit more special.
