On the edge of the glorious Lake
District – and handy for exploring the Yorkshire Dales and North Pennines as
well – Appleby Manor is surrounded by great walking country and stunning
scenery. There’s also a big saving on normal room rates. Book two nights and
they’ll knock £90 each off the adult price, and throw in dinner on the first
night worth £40, Cumbrian Gingerbread Tea on arrival and a cruise on Ullswater
Lake.
