Your in for a wonderful time no matter where you stay, although there are many wonderful places in the UK and as much as i enjoy seeing as many of them as i can and having a bit of variety, personally for me the Lakes is the best and the one that both me and the wife have been drawn back to time after time.
We set off to Scotland in our Caravan at Easter 2013 after spending the previous years traveling around Yorkshire and other places, we had an overnight stay in the Northern Fells area and never got to Scotland deciding to spend the entire holiday in the Lakes. That was the start of the love affair for both of us and since then we have taken most of our holidays there as well as every weekend i/we can grab be it staying in the Tent, Caravan, cottage, car or whatever
I am sure you will be looking for some routes for walks when you decide where to stay and you wont be short of any replies
BTW we tried again last July to get to Scotland and made it to Berwick Upon Tweed which was a lovely area so we got a bit further and still have the ambition and desire to get over that border for a holiday. Well hopefully
