Summer Holidays

Make the most of Summer in the Lakes

Summer in the Lake District is all about relaxing, exploring the outdoors, and making the most of the longer days.

Our cottages are dotted across the Lakes, giving you the perfect base to get out and explore – or just enjoy some well-earned downtime. Spend the day out on the fells, then head back to fire up the BBQ or unwind in the garden as the evening light stretches out.

Whether you’re planning family adventures, lakeside strolls, or just looking for a place to unwind, we’ve got cottages to suit every kind of break. From dog-friendly stays to properties with private gardens, hot tubs or nearby pubs – we’ll help you find the right spot to enjoy summer your way.
