Hotels · Windermere
Storrs Hall Hotel sits in a lovely Georgian mansion right on the shore of Lake Windermere, with grand rooms and a fine-dining restaurant if you fancy a proper treat with the family. It's a smart, old-world sort of place (rated 4.6 across nearly 700 reviews), so it suits a special occasion rather than a casual bite — worth checking ahead about little ones before you book.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
Lakeside hotel bistro with a kids' menu, high chairs and a lovely terrace — excellent food, and worth booking ahead.
A friendly Ambleside café with outdoor seating and vegan options, rated 4.4 by diners and easy on the wallet at mid-range prices.
A well-rated Windermere hotel in Beatrix Potter's old home, with lake views and fine dining for a special Lake District stay.
