Lake District

Where are the best places for a weekend away with the Mrs? We'll probably go sometime in March, but I haven't been for years. Is Keswick a decent bet? Somewhere good for walking and close to a nice town is all I'm really after.

Anywhere round Windermere, Keswick is too busy these days

Coniston is nice too. We stayed here a year ago and found it handy for both walks and to reach other places by car.

In the summer I stayed at Storrs Hall on Windermere, just outside Bowness. Lovely hotel, wasn't too busy either.

Stayed in a lovey hotel just outside Windermere last summer.

It had a massive double bath with a mirror on the ceiling it was a canny experience

 

[Bishop Mackem]

Windermere is the correct answer

 

[JAZZMANB]

Windermere is the correct answer

You mean Bowness? Windermere is pretty dull as in the town

Any of the big towns will suit for a short visit
Keswick
Ambleside
Bowness

Agreed, but Windemere is also packed out these days.

Friends of ours had a lovely holiday home overlooking the lake at Grassmere.Really nice there like .

If you want somewhere quiet and remote, The Haweswater Hotel is perfect. Me and our lass went about 6 weeks ago, it's just a hotel beside a lake in the middle of nowhere. The interior has been restored to its art deco origins.

Full of budding actors?

We stayed there a few years ago. It was expensive and we were not impressed. Our room was very small and dated. Maybe it's had a makeover. We use guest houses now. Love Borrowdale so it's Keswick for us.

My visit Keswick Brochure/magazine just came yesterday. Although I know the area very well (caravan over lakes for years) I always enjoy reading through it.
