Historic Hotels in the Lake District

Heritage Rated Hotels and other Historic accommodation Hotel Accommodation - about heritage ratings
We love the wonderfully rich history and cultural heritage of Britain. If your idea of fine accommodation is an elegant country house hotel, or you'd like to stay in a castle, or a rustic old coaching inn, or lay your head where Queen Elizabeth I slept, you'll like our new Heritage Rating system for accommodation. We've gone through thousands of hotels, guest houses, and B&Bs in our directory and rated the accommodation for its heritage interest. With Heritage Rated hotels you'll find more than a room - you'll find a slice of history! If you love British heritage, look for Heritage Rated Historic Hotels or Heritage Rated Historic Hotels. Historic Hotels, those rated highly on a Heritage Rating, are also highlighted in yellow and listed first within the listings for each town. Learn more about Heritage Ratings for historic hotels.

The Lake District draws millions of visitors every year, and with good reason; the scenery is unsurpassed, and the variety of outdoor activities available to visitors is without equal in England. Whether you enjoy rambling or simply relaxing the banks of lakes enjoyed by the poets Wordsworth and Coleridge, the Lake District has something for everyone. Select a hotel location from the list below. If you intend to do some walking, you will be interested in getting the appropriate Ordnance Survey maps also.
