England’s largest National Park is filled with opportunities for adventure, romance and literary pilgrimage. Famed for its glacier-formed lakes and fells, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the most beautiful spots in the UK and our Lake District holiday cottages give you the perfect base to explore from. 

Whether you’re visiting in a large party, family group or a couple, we have the ideal Lake District self-catering accommodation, from roomy farmhouses to cosy cottages, converted barns to de-sanctified chapels. 

Offering an almost inexhaustible range of walking options for all fitness levels, one thing’s for sure, wherever you go you’ll be rewarded with a stunning view. Head out on your own or join one of the many guided walks to get the most out of your climb.

Sailing, kayaking and fishing opportunities abound on the Lakes and if you prefer dry land but had your fill of walking, why not hit one of the many cycle trails? Children and grownups alike will love the Beatrix Potter Museum in Windermere, ideally followed by a trip to the National Trust’s Hill Top, Miss Potter’s much-loved home.

No short break in the Lake District would be complete without heading to some of the many outstanding traditional pubs. The Drunken Duck in Ambleside is one of our favourites, with breath-taking views and outstanding food.
