A source of inspiration for Keats, Shelley, Wordsworth, Shelley, and Beatrix Potter, England's Lake District is one of the most beautiful places you'll ever visit.
Most of the area, which is about 24 square miles, belongs to the Lake District National Park.
And Keswick hotels make the most of the stunning views.
With lakes, mountains, and valleys, the scenery is spectacular.
And those who enjoy hiking, biking, golfing, boating, and fishing will find plenty to do.
Keswick was chartered in 1276 as a market town.
On the shores of Derwentwater, which is one of the prettiest lakes, it's a good base for exploring the area.
Keswick hotels offer every experience from staying in a cozy B&B to living it up in an elegant manor house.
One of the most impressive hotels in Keswick, Armathwaite Hall County House and Spa is set in a 400-acre park right on Lake Bassenthwaite.
The 16th-century house has a huge, wood-paneled central hall with a beautiful fireplace that's perfect for taking off the chill after a stroll around the lake.
The 43 rooms have robes and slippers, flat-panel TVs, Egyptian cotton linens, and DVD players.
Many have views of the lake, and one even has it's own roof terrace.
It's won five stars from the British Automobile Association.
The new spa is the best in the region with an infinity pool, an indoor waterfall, ten treatment rooms, and a tranquility space overlooking the gardens, which have an outdoor hot tub.
There are plenty of activities available here too, whether you want to skeet shoot, take fishing lessons, or go for a gourmet picnic in the park.
