Set on the southern shores of Lake Windermere, Lakeside Hotel was originally a 17th Century Coaching Inn. It was used as a staging post and resting place for travellers working in the thriving cotton trade of Lancashire and Yorkshire, in the 1900s, guests stayed there en route to local businesses such as the bobbin mills in the area. In 1979 the stable block was converted into additional bedrooms, so that many of the hotel's accommodation overlooks the Lake or fells. It is now a 4-star luxury hotel and spa. http://www.lakesidehotel.co.uk/
