Another Place, The Lake
Penrith, Cumbria
The North's answer to the best family hotels anywhere: parents get a design-led lakeside hotel and a pool facing the fells, children get a registered Kids' Zone doing den-building and crafts at no extra cost, and everyone can try paddleboarding on Ullswater. It manages to feel adventurous rather than precious.
