Cedar Manor. Outstanding rooms, fair price. They have a web site (http://www.cedarmanor.co.uk/). Just outside of Windermere on the road toward Ambleside.<BR><BR>Also, I like the Sun (though a couple of the rooms are small) in Coniston.<BR><BR>I also like the Wateredge in Ambleside, but it doesn't really qualify costwise as a B&B.

Biscuit: go to the top of the message board (currently #4) or search on "Lake District Advice" for my description of The Old Vicaredge at Ambleside (about two miles from Windemere). About $55 to $60 per night. Comfortable and homey rather than luxurious. Have a great trip.
