Looking for stunning hotel/apartment in the lake district for honeymoon?

Question

Hello !

Geting Married in October and have spent the last 4-5 hours trying to find a decent hotel in the lake district for our honeymoon and to be honest its driving me crazzzzy lol

Im asking on here if anyone has a specific place in mind they can recommend .

yes we are fussy :(

our budget caps at £300 per night

we would like contemporary/modren room if possible (most ive looked at look like my nan's house! - very floral etc :( )

would love a lake veiw or actually be lakeside.

balcony would also be great !

can be hotel or self catering

i suspose it doesnt have to be Lake District but we love the idea of stunning veiws overlooking a lake etc.

i suspose I prolly look like im being a bit fussy etc .. but it is a once in a lifetime holiday ! We were planing to go to Costa Rica but we are unable to fly as my girlfriend (soon WIFE ! ) isnt very well so must be in the UK :)

note: sorry nan for the bad reference--- love ya :P

Answer 1

I am not familiar with the Lake District at all. I do, however, strongly recommend taking a cruise. My wife and I were on a fairly tight budget for our honeymoon. We took a 7 day cruise and were able to see so many things that we would have never seen otherwise. We spent about $1200 which includes meals. It was absolutely the best thing that we could of done.

Of course it does help if you live within driving distance of a departing port.

Sorry to hear that your girlfriend is sick, but Cumbria in October should be stunning, with all the autumn colours.  I also went to the Lakes for my honeymoon, and it was fantastic as we were able to return each year!  Sadly that place has now ceased trading.

I haven't stayed at these hotels, but they regularly receive good reports on blogs that I read
