Lakeside Hotel & Spa
Newby Bridge, Cumbria
Location is everything here: the lake steamers pull in just outside, the Lakes Aquarium and Lakeside & Haverthwaite steam railway are next door, and the bunk-bed family suite gives children their own den. Add a pool for wet afternoons and kids-eat-free early suppers, and the logistics of a Lakes weekend more or less vanish.
