Westmorland and Furness Family Friendly Hotel Alternatives

Peaceful Retreat

• 4 guests

• 1 bedrooms

Bolton-le-Sands, Lancashire

This is one of those rare homes that are just as relaxing outside as it is inside. The interior of the garden apartment has been finished in a cleansing shade of white that feels instantly soothing and there's also a fireplace in the living room that's ideal for gathering around during the colder months.

The Keeper

• 10 guests

• 5 bedrooms

Satterthwaite, Ambleside

Once the dwelling of the estate's groundskeeper, this Lake District property has been refurbished to become a contemporary countryside getaway. Inside, the design could definitely be described as minimalist, with walls painted in soothing whites adorned only by a few well-chosen pieces of artwork, a sleek kitchen and a preference for simple wooden furnishings.

The Ribbon Lake

• 4 guests

• 2 bedrooms

Matterdale, Penrith

Some of the Lake District’s most striking scenery can be found at Ullswater, with its mountainous landscape and unusual z-shaped, ‘ribbon lake’, which is the second largest in the region. But even better than simply visiting this beautiful spot, you can see it all from the windows of this lakeside home.
