For one of the top Lake District wedding venues, ITV’s The Lakes exceeded all expectations.

The latest series of The Lakes began on Monday 3rd Jan on ITV and included a feature on a wedding at the Inn on the Lake. Before the programme finished the hotel was inundated with calls and enquiries from ‘brides to be’ wanting to find out more about the garden gazebo weddings. The website too saw a dramatic rise in new enquiries – with three thousand new visitors in the first few hours after the programme went out.

The Lakes programme was following Joe Pester who is an instructor at the Glenridding Sailing School, Joe has also run sailing classes at Inn on the Lake since he moved up to the area. When Joe decided to marry Lindi Jones, he picked the day before the Ullswater Sailing regatta and chose the Inn on the Lake as his venue. ‘The Lakes‘ programme features Gary Wilson, General Manager at the hotel and a great friend of Joes. Gary said “Joe and Lindi wanted an informal outdoor wedding so the gazebo was perfect.”

There are 47 en-suite guest rooms at Inn on the Lake, part of the Lake District Hotels ltd group, all thoughtfully designed with most rooms having breathtaking view, some looking towards the magnificent Helvellyn Mountain Range, while the majority look over the ever changing Ullswater.  Each room is fully equipped with everything you come to expect in this quality 3 star hotel.  For that special occasion upgrade to a superior room or one of the six, very popular, stunning four-poster bedrooms.

Looking for hotel in Tuscany in Internet means a generic research, because Tuscany is full of hotels and holidays homes and because there will be also structures in mountain or at the seaside  and two or four stars hotels with restaurant but without swimming pool in the results of the browser.

Typing in Google, Yahoo and similar web sites hotel Tuscany, which structure can be considered an ideal hotel for a stay in Tuscany? A very nice question that deserves  a complete answer. A Hotel can be thought the ideal in order to visit Tuscany, if it has at least those characteristics : cleanness, comfort, elegance, professional and kind staff, a location in a special naturalistic position that is also easy to get for exploring the main cities of Tuscany, very good comparison of quality with price. You agree with me, don’t you?! Those are the fundamental elements that a hotel has to belong for being considered ideal, and if it offers to its guests other services like wellness centre, swimming pool, restaurant and activities, relax and leisure, it is experiencing the excellence.

For example, in order to visit Tuscany you could look for a hotel in Chianti, a really authentic symbol of Tuscany, that is chosen because of the beauty of landscapes and for its position, so near to Florence and Siena, that can not be missed for a right holidays in Tuscany. Having chosen the charming  and magic Chianti that represents all the characteristic of Tuscany, the research becomes less generic.

Now we improve our research method and we look for “hotel Chianti” instead of “hotel in Tuscany” obtaining even in this case a wide lists of contact. The following step can be consulting  “Tripadvisor”,  a well known web site that collect comments, reviews and feedback of people that have already stayed in the several hotels of Italy and finding the hotel that has the biggest amount of positive reviews. Now we have all the tools for a good choice of the hotel where to spend a wonderful holidays ….. enjoy Tuscany to everyone!!

The ballroom at the George Hotel in Penrith was the stage for the first Christmas panto in over 100 years.

On Thursday 23rd December, the George Hotel Penrith saw Red Riding Hood performed to almost 100 guests. Sitting on cushions at the front of the stage were a host of young children who screamed at the wolf and laughed at Granny Hood.

Grannies, Granddads and young Mums all gave a glowing festive verdict on the performance, suggesting it was the best panto they had seen this season. Mrs Powley from Penrith brought their granddaughter and her friend, she said “It was simply fantastic. Just the right length for little ones and it was great to see the actors interacting with the audience so well. It was miles better than the one we saw in Carlisle.”

The idea of the pantomime came from General Manager Justin Wales who felt something magical was needed for little ones to celebrate the arrival of Christmas. “Mums must have taken chance to prepare for Christmas Day because there were so many grandparents at the performance. They all wanted to know if we are going to do another next year and that is a definite yes. The children all received gifts of a balloon and a decorated gingerbread man as a parting gift from the George Hotel.

Extra Infomation:
The panto performance allowed the ballroom to relive its day as a theatrical location and heart of community life in Penrith. In the 1860’s the Assembly Rooms (now the ballroom) was at the core of community activity - it played host to famous theatricals  that included ‘Signor Boscow from the London Theatre.’ Since this main function room in this Penrith hotel has become home to local groups and playing host to entertainment celebrities like Lenny Henry and Vic Reeves, Bob Mortimer, Paula Yates and Jooles Holland.
