Warm evening 日光 coupled with 素晴らしい 見解(をとる)s 負かす/撃墜する to the lake and the rippling fells were enough to dissipate the 強調する/ストレスs from my 旅行 to Cumbria.

This is where you have breakfast too, with choices such as eggs benedict, a 十分な Cumbrian, or warm, just-baked pastries.

Bedrooms are either in the main building or cottages a short walk away. My room, called Elter Water, was spread over three levels and painted in shades of grey and beige, accented by subtly pink cushions. There was a large, 深い bath and separate にわか雨 downstairs, and a bed at the 最高の,を越す with goose-負かす/撃墜する pillows and duvet.

The sitting room had a large TV but the 星/主役にする attraction was the picture window looking 負かす/撃墜する to the lake, which was as mesmerising as anything on the gogglebox.

And there are some good walks from the hotel itself, such as through the 支持を得ようと努めるd to Jenkin Crag and on up along 古代の 跡をつけるs, past fields of sheep and ponies to Wansfell Pike for some みごたえのある 見解(をとる)s.

If you want to 冷静な/正味の off you can swim in Lake Windermere, as I did, under the 指導/手引 of 地元の adventurer Pete Kelly, who can 道具 you out with a wetsuit before a refreshing 下落する around the northern shore (swimthelakes.co.uk).

At night, the sound of rain on the roof above me had a sleepy 影響 and in the morning birdsong 供給するd a natural alarm clock.

I made a coffee from the machine by the large sofa, watched the sunlight start to ripple over the lake as もや hugged the water, and was thankful that although we might be a soggy little island at times, we’re an 絶対 gorgeous one too.
