Can I recommend you this company. They are brilliant. Read the Tripadvisor reviews. Very knowledgable, great facilities and make things fun for groups. We went kayaking on Wastwater and it was one of the best days we had for a long time.

After some good pub food in Windermere or bowness post activity also. Any suggestions?

try the tree top nets at brockhole, they have all sorts of water activities too

I’d suggest gorge walking, get wet, clamber around, have a laugh and behave like kids.

Hike up Scafell Pike

OK if you don't mind the crowds, and it's about an hour away from Windemere

There are loads of other peaks worth climbing that are better eg any of the Langdales, Fairfield, Old Man, Helvellyn via Striding Edge (again might be crowded) etc

When I did it there was hardly anyone doing it. Was a wet day in October mind.

Zip wire thing is good fun and not even too bad in the rain. Go Ape Grizedale.

Bowness has loads of good places, couple of good Indians, excellent Thai and Jacksons Bistro all highly recommended. Most pubs offer decent food too, you will be spoilt gor choice

The Lamplighter in Windermere for good food. Really good roasts on a Sunday.

If you stay in the YHA in Windermere with its beautiful grounds you wake up to a lovely view in the mornings

You could visit Sleddale Hall Farm, ask anyone in a tractor if they're the farmer and claim you've gone on holiday by mistake. Visit the Penrith tea rooms for wine and cake
