If you're after a Country House hotel escape, picture one with beautiful gardens with views over the Eden countryside, one with a fantastic spa and wonderful dining options.  Well to fit that picture, take a look at Appleby Manor in Appleby, an ideal base to explore the eastern Lakes and Cumbria from!

There's currently a great offer available from Groupon where you and another (or just yourself if you wanted the room for yourself) can stay at the fantastic Whitewater Hotel and Leisure club, Newby Bridge, for just £139 including overnight stay, breakfast, leisure access AND dinner each!
