- The best of the Lake District: Perched enviably on the serene shores of Lake Windermere, Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa provides a comforting, traditional base to explore the beautiful Lake District region from. The hotel’s comfortable rooms - some of which feature incomparable views over the lake - are just the thing to come home to after a day’s exertions in the fresh lakeside air, while the modern British cuisine at the restaurant, using fresh seasonal ingredients, is hearty and delicious.
- Tranquil lakeside setting: The hotel sits right in the heart of one of England’s most beautiful areas, the Lake District, and right on the shores of its most famous lake, Windermere. This part of the world is a playground for lovers of the great outdoors, with myriad hiking and cycling trails to choose from as well as a wide range of activities that all the family can enjoy - from a 'Go Ape' experience to a day out at the Beatrix Potter museum.
- Blissful spa: After a tiring day’s outdoor adventures, Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa’s indulgent spa offers a range of wellness therapies to help you recover and relax. This area is also rich in history, from the millennia-old Roman ruins of Ambleside Fort to the Stott Park Bobbin Mill, where you can learn all about the region’s history.
