I stayed in Beech Hill on the bank of Lake Windermere. It was tatty and too expensive. Don't do that. The lake is nice though if you can find somewhere else local.

Shopping, bit of walking perhaps.
You'll fill the days up just walking around the towns.

theres some great pubs at each end of the hardknott pass, one is called the Bower House, they do amazing roast dinners, with fresh, hot bread, and i'm pretty sure theres one called the Woolpack, just up the road, thats just as nice.
