A NUMBER of Lake District hotels have been named by the Times in the top 25 best lakeside stays across the UK.
The Times have compiled a list of all the best UK Lakeside stays, with a number of Cumbrian hospitality venues being named in the list.
From Buttermere to Bampton here are all of the Lake District venues that have made the list:
Another Place, Pooley Bridge, Cumbria
The Times said: "Scion of the ever-fashionable Watergate Bay Hotel, Another Place brought Cornwall’s wetsuit spirit to Cumbria in 2017, and in the process reinvented posh Lake District holidays."
Hassnees House, Buttermere, Cumbria
The Times said: "If you want to walk the western Lake District there are few more convenient spots than this whitewashed country house beside Buttermere. Girdled by trees and overlooked by the mighty rock bastion of Fleetwith Pike, it offers doorstep hikes in every direction."

Langdale Chase, Windermere, Cumbria
The Times said: "No wonder it’s the Times and Sunday Times North hotel of the year. This classy neo-gothic refurbishment sits in four and a half acres of prime lakeside greenery, with its own jetty into Windermere and a view straight up to the Langdale Pikes."
Storrs Hall, Windermere, Cumbria
The Times said: "Plum spot on England’s longest lake belongs to Storrs Hall. This stuccoed, 18th-century house sits on a little green nub of land, halfway down its eastern shore, and the view from its southern façade is across four miles of uninterrupted water."
Lake Windermere Lodge, Bowness, Cumbria
The Times said: "Inside, the look is more luxury ski lodge than Cumbrian cottage, flavoured with slate walls, antler candelabras and raw wood panelling. But as soon as you glance out of the floor-to-ceiling windows of this five-bedroom trophy mansion you’ll get your bearings."
Aquila, Bampton, Cumbria
The Times said: "Sure, it’s a reservoir, not a lake. But Haweswater has all the visual drama of its Cumbrian rivals and none of the peak-season crowds. It’s a much rawer landscape too, with relic oak woodland on its eastern shore and a rewilding fellsides to the north."
