The 71-room Lodore Falls Hotel is an upscale, landmark hotel set in picturesque parkland overlooking Lake Derwentwater in the heart of the Lake District National Park. Quintessentially English interiors give the place a cozy and traditional vibe, while health and relaxation facilities are extensive and up-to-date. Excellent dining is another big plus, however it's the hotel's surrounds -- including a wonderful waterfall -- that really steal the show. Rates aren't cheap but it's great value for what you get -- staying at the nearby Borrowdale Hotel might save a few pounds, but there's certainly less on offer.
