For a weekend of pure luxury I highly advise spending a weekend at the Borrowdale Gates Hotel. This hotel is the jewel in the crown of the Borrowdale valley, and once visited, you won't want to go anywhere else. Suffice to say, the food is phenomenal, the staff attentive and friendly and the views are everything you would wish for. The General Manager (Sue) makes the place tick and I personally find this place, the team, and the experience the complete package. Go and try it....
