The Lake District - our favourite place to stay

We love the Lakes there is no better place to be if you get the weather

The Hideway Hotel in Windermere is always perfect

http://www.thehideawayatwindermere.co.uk/

Check out room 12 - hopefully will stay in that room one day.  Have stayed in room 2 with a lovely roll top bath and room 7 up on the top floor with views out to the Langdales.

Richard & Lisa the owners go out of their way to make your stay special.  The tea and cakes on the afternoon are an added bonus.

Where to eat:

When visiting the Windermere area we always visit Jacksons bistro down in Bowness check out their reviews on trip advisor.  We have also found a lovely Italian down in Bowness called Villa Positano on Ash Street

Last time we were down in Bowness we stumbled across this lovely pub behind the church http://www.newhallinnbownessonwindermere.robinsonsbrewery.com/ we will be going back for a drink next time we are in Bowness.

When staying in either Windermere or Ambleside we always enjoy the boat on the lake

between the 2 villages. You can't beat the jam doughnuts @ the Apple Pie cafe in Ambleside http://www.roomsattheapplepie.co.uk/ and they also have rooms there too which are on my list to stay sometime.

Another place on my "to stay list" Langdale Chase http://www.langdalechase.co.uk/

We have had a meal here in the conservatory looking over the Lake.

There is no better place than the Lake District if you get the weather.
