Bridge House Hotel, Grasmere

• Lake District loveliness: A magical place to rest after hiking the world-famous fells and admiring mountains reflected in the lakes, the adults-only Bridge House Hotel has a charming, traditional façade and graceful Art Deco interiors in quaint Grasmere. Literary Lake District icon Wordsworth is buried in the churchyard opposite too.

• Refurbished rooms: With a rich palette of ruby red, burnt ochre, amber and dusky blue, rooms hold period fireplaces, antique furniture and framed nature drawings. Deluxe rooms look onto the gardens, river or fells. Superior rooms hold a super-king-size bed and the luxurious Suites are the largest of all.

• Rural dining: With floral banquettes, velvet armchairs and a free-standing log burner, the River Pantry and Tarnview Lounge are cosy hideaways plying guests with breakfast, freshly baked scones, cakes, drinks and Cumbrian charcuterie. In clement weather, sit on a wicker armchair on the Alcock Veranda or on the Wordsworth Patio within the peal of church bells.
