Having an indoor heated swimming pool, use of a Game Boy and PlayStation 2, a restaurant that caters for children and a variety of accommodation to suit, plus our central location makes us an ideal base for family fun to explore the Lake District, the biggest adventure playground in the world.

From the weird and wonderful, to the traditional and quaint, the fantastic assortment of attractions, events and festivals in the Lake District will leave you spoilt for choice.

Meet Peter Rabbit and friends at the World of Beatrix Potter, journey underwater at the interactive Aquarium of the Lakes or find your way around the Meadow Vole Maze at Haunted Muncaster.  Meet some unusual characters at Eden Ostrich World or imagine what it would be like to drive 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' or Harry Potter's Ford Anglia at the Cars of the Stars Museum.

Museums and galleries are found in every corner of the Lake District depicting a fascinating history of the local people. Look out for seafaring tales, submarines, 'Swallows and Amazons', the Quakers, chivalrous knights, King Arthur and plenty of Roman Heritage.
