Armathwaite Hall Hotel & Spa
Keswick, Cumbria
Where else can you walk from a Victorian country house to see zebras and meerkats? The wildlife park sits on the estate, alongside alpaca walks and archery, so children are busy all weekend. Child swim times are tight (early morning), but the lake, Keswick and Whinlatter's forest trails more than fill the gaps.
