The 74-room Lakeside Hotel is on the banks of Lake Windermere, with a private jetty and gardens that offer couples and families quiet, outdoor sitting areas and picturesque waterfront views. There are also an all-glass conservatory that serves afternoon tea, a restaurant, a pub, a brasserie, and a spa with an indoor pool, sauna, and a small gym. Classic and charming plaid decor fills upgraded rooms that also have flat-screen TVs and views of the misty lake. Some furnishings in standard rooms, though, feel a touch dated. Parking, breakfast, and Wi-Fi are all free, but the Wi-Fi connection reportedly can be slow.

The 46-room Newby Bridge Hotel is a charming, old-timey getaway with pretty lawns and a peaceful riverfront location. The hotel offers a dog-friendly bar, a classic restaurant, a billiard room, and an indoor pool with a hot tub and steam room. Rooms have traditional decor -- some a bit worn and outdated -- as well as flat-screen TVs, electric kettles, and (in some) whirlpool tubs. The Swan Hotel and Spa, which has rooms that receive better reviews, might be an alternative option.
