Take a walk up High Sweden Bridge, Ambleside

Dating back to what is believed to be the 16th century, the High Sweden Bridge is an old packhorse bridge, which couples can see for themselves by meandering through the picturesque Lakeland fells. What is fascinating about this historical sight, are the numerous names which have been carved into the stone by famous visitors, including the poet William Wordsworth.

Pony Trekking, Rookin House

Discover the stunning scenery of The Lake District by horse for a unique and idyllic experience with your special other. It doesn’t matter if you’re a novice or experienced rider, Rookin House caters for all standards. Your instructor will take you along bridleways and quiet country lanes, across open fells and through forests, with guaranteed views along the way.

Zefferellis Cinema, Ambleside

Home to a cinema, restaurant, cafe & jazz bar, Zefferellis is so much more than your standard cinema. With their ‘Movie Deal,’ couples can enjoy a delicious two or three course meal at either Zefferellis or Fellinis restaurant – both known for their quality vegetarian cuisine – followed by a film of your choice in one of their cinemas. The atmosphere is inviting and relaxed, so much so, you can enjoy your film while sharing a bottle of vino with your other half.

Explore

The Lake District is well known for its quaint villages, cosy pubs and independent shops. Celebrate Valentine’s Day with your loved one by discovering one of the national park’s rural towns such as Grasmere, where you will find “the world’s best gingerbread” in a Victorian-style cottage turned shop. Or you can discover Kirkby Lonsdale, which is home to many delightful boutique stores. For a slightly busier environment, explore Bowness-on-Windermere where you can escape to a traditional pub with a crackling log fire, wooden beams and real ale. If that doesn’t delight you, there are several less traditional venues with much to offer. All from the comfort of our Boutique Hotel Lake District.
