When it comes to lakefront locations it doesn’t get much better than the Old England Hotel & Spa. Set on the shore of Lake Windermere, in the pretty little town of Bowness, guests here can enjoy unravelled views of the private jetties and moorings on the lake. The Bowness pier is just a short stroll from the hotel and offers boat trips on England’s largest lake to a choice of destinations, including Ambleside, Brockhole, Windermere, and Wray Castle. Other great nearby attractions include The Beatrix Potter Experience – where Beatrix Potter’s much-loved characters are magically brought to life. Or, if you feel like trying something new, how about an Alpaca trek and picnic. Start by taking the Alpaca’s across ‘The Helm’ then tuck into a picnic with panoramic views. The nearby South Lakes Safari Zoo offers visitors the chance to see even more incredible animals. For a truly interactive experience…
