Holiday Cottages Cumbria

Here's what you can see and do when staying at one of our Cumbrian cottages.

A holiday in this unique landscape is truly memorable. Within a 30-mile radius of our Lake District cottages the visitor will find a collection of sparkling lakes and majestic fells to enjoy. For many, this is the most beautiful scenery in England, perhaps best discovered from the versatile base of one of our holiday cottages in the Lake District. Stepping out from one of Lake District cottages attractions lie, quite literally, on the doorstep, underfoot. This landscape has been written about and painted by many famous writers and artists. There is no better way of experiencing it than by spending time exploring the dramatic setting on foot. The character of the lakes varies, from the popular and pastoral Windermere, to the brooding Wast Water, the beautiful Ullswater to the island-strewn Derwent Water. Whether walking the high fells or the many lakeside paths, or just enjoying the scenery from a boat steaming on one of the lakes, you cannot fail to be captivated by this walkers' paradise.

The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction in Bowness on the shores of Lake Windermere, is a magical attraction for all the family. All 23 of Beatrix Potter's tales are brought to life inside the Attraction, recreating the beautiful Lake District countryside.

However, besides the Lake District Cumbria also has many other hidden gems. The bleak and foreboding northern Pennines have a mysterious splendour. Appleby, in the Eden Valley, famous for its horse fair, sits at the foot of the fells, its impressive and wide main street rising from the riverside church to the Norman castle. Further north, amongst the hills, lies Alston the highest market town in England with its steeply sloping cobbled market square, surrounded by a variety of shops which support this isolated town and surrounding Cumbrian cottages and farms.
