In reply to My Gravity:
Good accommodation search here:

Places we've stayed as a couple and would recommend:
http://www.hartsopmill.co.uk - nice out of the way cottage nr patterdale/glenridding, drive to Keswick or over kirkstone pass to ambleside if you want town amenities, well placed for excellent walks up to high street, fairfield and hellvelyn
Next two good if you want to stay in town for access to town shops/restaurants etc
