    Enjoy your holiday your way with Lake District holiday cottages

    It's hard to do the Lake District justice, using nothing more than words.

    Seeing lush green hills roll out into the distance, miles further than the eye can see. Watching the sun bounce playfully across the crystal waters of Lake Windermere, as the smell of dew drops fills the air. Listening, as all around, an array of wildlife, from red squirrels to golden eagles, grey seals to red deer, wake to another beautiful morning and head about their day in the national park.

    A holiday in the Lake District boasts more than just stunning natural scenery. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is also rich in culture and history, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a varied and exciting break.

    From picturesque villages steeped in literary history and home to the likes of William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter to bustling market towns with their museums and picturesque streets, there is plenty to explore on your Lake District holiday beyond its breathtaking natural landscapes, dazzling lakes and spectacular scenery.

    To complete your trip, base yourself in one of our gorgeous Lake District self-catering cottages. Each one has been hand-selected to ensure you get the holiday you deserve. Take a look through our huge selection, and let's start planning your dream break in the Lakes.

    Why choose a Lake District weekend break or staycation?

    If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, then a trip to the Lake District could be just what you're looking for.

    Picture idyllic towns and villages surrounded by spectacular scenery, mirror-like lakes glistening in the sun, dramatic waterfalls thundering down lush green valleys, and majestic peaks around every turn.

    The UNESCO World Heritage site is a dream come true for nature lovers, and the lakes are the main attraction. Windermere, Ullswater, and Coniston Water are just a few of the incredible lakes, with many of them offering boat trips and a variety of walks.

    The area's name is a little deceiving, as there are also countless dramatic peaks and mountains in the Lake District. Scafell Pike is England's highest peak, and you can climb it if you're feeling up to the challenge. Or why not scale the beautiful rugged fells at Great Langdale or Helvellyn?

    One of our favourite Lake District towns is Keswick, which has a brilliant location for exploring the beauty of the area.

    The town is full of charm and character, with plenty of cafes, tearooms, ancient inns and pubs, shops, and a relaxed atmosphere. Within easy reach of Keswick, you'll find walks to Bowder Stone and Derwentwater, as well as the Coledale Peaks, which are a great choice if you're looking for a more challenging hike. Hop on a boat trip and explore Lake Derwentwater, or take it easy in the town and have fun at top attractions such as Puzzling Place and the famous Pencil Museum.

    Another must-visit destination in the Lake District is Cumbria, home to the Lake District National Park.

    Cumbria also includes part of the North Pennines and the Yorkshire Dales, so you have lots of options of where to spend your days. There are six districts in Cumbria, including Carlisle, Barrow-in-Furness, and Eden. Make sure you visit the pretty village of Windermere and walk along the beautiful lake. You can immerse yourself in history and see some of the earliest stone circles in the UK, including the Castlerigg Stone Circle and the Swinside Stone Circle.

    For literary fans, head to Beatrix Potter's farmhouse in Hill Top and discover more about her animal characters at The World of Beatrix Potter. You can also marvel at the views and scenery that inspired poet William Wordsworth and see his house and museum located next to Grasmere.

    With so much to see and do in this magical destination, staying in one of our Lake District holiday cottages provides the perfect base to discover all the natural beauty and fun attractions it has to offer.

    Choose from hundreds of beautiful Lake District holiday rentals

    With so many incredible attractions on offer, choosing which Lake District holiday cottage to stay in might be a bit of a challenge. Luckily, we have something for everyone and every occasion. So, whether you're going on holiday with friends, family, or that special someone, you'll find the perfect accommodation to suit your needs.

    From stunning rustic stone-built cottages to sleek modern holiday homes, whatever you're after, we'll help you find the ideal place to stay for your holiday. Our range of Lake District cottages offers all your favourite features and everything you'd want, from private parking and stunning scenery to a private garden and space for the whole family.

    If you're on the hunt for something a little more specific, use the filters and search preferences to find dog-friendly cottages, cottages with hot tubs or swimming pools, gorgeous self-catering options overlooking lakes, or holiday cottages just a short drive away from historic towns and the great outdoors.
