The Langdale Estate (Langdale Hotel & Brimstone)
Ambleside, Cumbria
Langdale is one of the Lakes' most dramatic valleys, and this estate makes it doable with small children: a warm pool with a baby pool, soft play for wet afternoons and pizza-friendly menus. Choose the luxe Brimstone suites or a lodge, then walk out of the door into the fells.
