As you’re probably already aware, the Lake District is simply phenomenal. That’s why it makes so much sense to hire out a whole property when holidaying here. After all, this means that as well as enjoying increased privacy during your stay, you’ll also get to glimpse the sparkling valleys, rugged mountains and grassy hills situated close by, with ease. The spacious and tranquil surroundings which come with staying in a soothing cottage also mean you can sit back and relax without any worries. The only sounds you’ll hear will be of the birdlife chirping away each morning - a heavenly way to wake up.
On cottage getaways here, there’s a wide variety of appealing towns and villages to reside in, featuring glorious landscape views, sightseeing wonders and exciting events nearby. Settle down in Kendal for the weekend; this market town is the home of the yummy Mint Cake, the medieval Kendal Castle and other local attractions. Or, stopover in Alston - near to stunning nature areas that you won’t want to miss. While you’re there, journey over to Ashgill Force - a captivating, cascading waterfall which will truly take your breath away. Fancy a break bursting with history (dating back to the 18th Century)? Then Brough is the perfect spot.
Along with residing in your cosy cottage, you’re going to want to see the highlights of this location in all of their glory before travelling back home. So, what better way to do this than by visiting one of the various tourism hotspots? Animal enthusiasts will love heading over to Lakeland Wildlife Oasis or the Lakeland Bird of Prey Centre. Although, if you’re more interested in sea life, get yourself over to the Lake District Coast Aquarium in Maryport, where you can observe the Shark and Ray pool. Meanwhile, active adventurers will be absolutely astounded by Scafell Pike, since this incredible mountain is the highest in England.
An escape to the Lake District wouldn’t quite be the same without a trip to Windermere lake. Swap your slippers for walking boots and venture out with your loved ones to discover this astonishing site, reaching 10.5 miles in length. What’s even more impressive is that this lake is the biggest of its kind in England. Looking to uncover this natural beauty in full? Well, you can do just that. Alongside countless hiking trails, you can make your way around this extraordinary body of water by hiring a bike or a boat, to get the best experience. Frankly, you’d be silly to bypass a visit here during your travels.
