‘I go to the Lake District every year and these are the best activities for families’


Editorial commercial content director Michelle Darlow says the Lake District is perfect for families. Here's where she stayed and where she took her children on a recent trip there

My husband and I are big fans of the Lake District after discovering Keswick for our 10th wedding anniversary last year, and this time we wanted to return to the beautiful views and have a different experience with our two young kids. Having some evening drinks outside is a must, admiring the view of the River Leven while the sun is setting, before taking advantage of the complimentary cookies and milk delivered to your room before bedtime. The Swan Hotel by Newby Bridge in the lake District offers a quirky, relaxed setting, an outdoor play area and swimming pool to keep the kids entertained, and a spa for adults.
