We stayed at the Parkfield House in Keswick. I would highly recommend it. The owners are wonderful. It's listed in Rick's book.

Have to second Parkfield in Keswick. Stayed there last year and it was great. I was on the Best of Britain tour. If you have free time, you need to go to the Theatre by the Lake. http://www.theatrebythelake.com/. The plays are fun and you will feel very local. If you are into hiking and stone circles there is a great (though somewhat long) hike to the Castlerigg Stone Circle. Actually you can drive almost up to it, but the hike made it special. Go at sunset - it is beautiful. Or just hike and boat the lake.
