Another wonderful way to spend time together is on a lakes cruise aboard an old-fashioned paddle steamer. Sit back, relax and watch as you leave ripples on the glassy lake behind you.

A wonderful chance for you and your partner to enjoy the peace and intimacy of the Lakes. The Wild Boar Estate is a little more off the beaten track, but is still just a short drive from the heart of Windermere and The Spa.

Set in 72 acres of private land in the beautiful Gilpin Valley, The Wild Boar Inn is a wonderful place to unwind with romantic woodland walks and fireside drinks. You'll be nestled among the estate's own ancient woodlands, which you can explore at your own pace.

This rustic venue offers an elegant contrast between the historic romance of the traditional coaching inn's original features, including gorgeous oak-beamed ceilings, and the contemporary, chic bedroom designs. From the moment you arrive, you'll relax into this characterful location.
