Hi
I love staying in the lakes and use https://www.smoothhound.co.uk to find accommodation. Sometimes the prices are slightly out so its best to check directly but it brings up alot of the smaller B&B's. Alternatively we also use https://www.laterooms.co.uk who tend to be quite good.

Hope that helps

What about joining the Youth Hostels Association (they cover families and its not all dorms now) There are some fab ones by the lakes. (Normally about £50 a night for a family room)

second that but would say that you need to budget about £15 for full breakfast for 4 people (2 adults 2 kids). Or you could take your own stuff and do breakfast yourself.

Has the added advantage that there is usually space for kids to run around, often a games room and your kids normally meet other kids if weekends / holidays.

Downside is normally bunk beds !

Bed and breakfasts are usually the way forward, especially if your children are old enough to share a room away from you. Start looking on the tourist board website and get phoning around: http://www.golakes.co.uk/accommodation/lake-district-bed-and-breakfast.aspx

Edited to add: we usually stop in B&Bs, but not near Beatrix Potter, so can't recommend anywhere specific.

See tripadvisor reviews.

A little out of the way so car needed.

I've stayed in the Albert (Pub) in the centre of Bowness before and that was £25 pp inc' breakfast last year.

Perhaps a bit expensive for you but there's a lovely new place that's opened this year, at http://www.kendalcottages.com (it's a self-catering apartment by the river in Kendal)

Try the web site holiday rentals, they have a good selection of cottages at a variety of prices and you can see which cottages are available easily.

We stayed here a few years ago & it was reasonably priced & very nice.

Bowness on Windermere has some good B&B with parking spaces . Like gold dust in the Lake District.
