Hotels in Lake District

England's largest National Park is home to Scafell Pike, its highest mountain; Wastwater, its deepest lake and is one of England's most beautiful landscapes.

Lake District holidays are about one thing � nature. From hiking its highest peaks to sailing its deepest lakes you will never run out of things to do. If the weather turns then find comfort and sustenance in one of the areas many old and traditional pubs. People travel to the Lake District to enjoy outdoor pursuits but this doesn't mean you have to spend all day hiking, canoeing or cycling. Lake District travel is also about relaxation and a chance to breathe fresh air and really switch off from everyday life and Lake District hotels can help you do this.

Hotels in the Lake District, no matter what their size or price range, are warm, welcoming and homely. Many of the Lake District hotels are housed in large, stately manor houses, mansions or vicarages with long local histories that the owners are always keen to share. The largest and most luxurious hotels in the Lake District are found around Lake Windermere and boast simply stunning views over the mirror-like lake and undulating fells. However, a more typical Lake District hotel is a family-run B&B or guesthouse. The owners will charm you with typical Cumbrian hospitality as well as a hearty breakfast. But they will probably also have you leaving with a smile because of the price. These places usually fall into the cheap hotel in the Lake District bracket. What you lose in room size and lake views you make up for in personal service and better-than-a-guide-book local knowledge. Cheap hotels in the Lake District are by no means cheap on service, friendliness and smiles.
