need help - hotel recs

How much counts as 'not breaking the bank'?

Accomodation to cost prob around £100 a night.

I've stayed in the Du Vin in Glasgow, which was gorgeous with fantastic service - they have hotels in most cities, including a new one opening in Edinburgh.

I paid for my parents to stay in the Hideaway Windermere for my Dad's 50th and their photos looked amazing and they said the hotel couldn't have done enough for them (we arranged through the hotel for them to have Champagne, chocolate dipped strawberries and a chocolate birthday cake in the room).

Armathwaite Hall is another nice hotel in the Lakes.

Try looking at this list (I'm looking at April but the prices haven't come down on laterooms yet, might be worth checking with the hotels themselves for prices so far in advance): http://www.laterooms.com/en/r246_hotels-in-lake-district.aspx?d=20090410&n=2&rt=2,0

If I could get it at a cheap enough price near the time this would be my choice:

If you're thinking about the Lake District why not go for the cheaper option of a B&B (probably much more comfortable than a cheaper hotel and better service too) and spend the difference on nicer meals etc?

Thank you so much for you comments. I am rubbish at arranging things like this.

BGB that is a really good idea, do you have any recs of any B&Bs. I dont want to search and rely only on the internet. I would really like one that someone has been to before, there are some great ones, but also would hate to take him to a rubbish one!

Try the Loghouse at Ambleside, its very nice.

Thank you Bettyb, i have sent her an email.

Anyone else??

Heres are a few more places that I have stopped in at the lake district that I would recomend.

https://www.lakedistricthotels.net/skiddawhotel/ a hotel rather than a B&B but prices are pretty reasonable and sometimes include evening meal.

With that budget, I would probably look at renting a cottage for the weekend rather than a hotel.

St John's Lodge in Bowness is a nice little B+B - it's not super swanky but the breakfasts were GORGEOUS; they have a massive breakfast menu and all the choices are fab. I had smoked salmon on herby potato cakes with poached eggs, mmm. It's not like a posh hotel but the rooms are nice enough and it's in a good location, and the staff are really nice.

Here is it - and I forgot about the free wi-fi (I've been at 5* hotels that couldn't manage that...)
