Romeo, Romeo...marry me in the Lakes

Reported by Maurice Chesworth 13/02/2012

The dating website eHarmony claims the Lake District is the most romantic place for proposals. So with 29th February just around the corner, one Lake District hotel is helping women  organise their proposal – with a balcony bedroom overlooking Lake Ullswater.

The Inn on the Lake which sits on the shores of Ullswater  has several secret weapons to help ladies pluck up courage to propose:

Balcony bedrooms with a patio below and views across the lake (perfect Romeo and Juliet material)
Gary Wilson – the General Manager who has overseen 70 proposals and over 1500 weddings
A Ladies Privilege Pack – champagne, music dinner…. to help with the proposal.

And free dinner when they hear him say yes!

There have been over 70 proposals whilst Gary has been in charge, he has not had one on Leap Year….yet.
