Welcome to your guide to the Lake
District's best Cottages and Self-catering
Accommodation
There are many, many places you can rent in
the Lakes, and a host of companies competing to offer you a vast selection
of rental properties. We have selected a few of the ones which stand out,
either for reasons of location, facility or price. In addition to
traditional holiday cottages, there are self-catering
timeshares in the Lake
District, which can usually be rented directly from the owner of the
holiday week at a reasonable rate. Many of these are stand-alone cottages,
though some are located within a resort community and offer additional
amenities. In every case, early booking is likely to mean you get what you
want: in high season and school holidays, many of the better properties go
really quickly.
There are two sections on the page: at the
top, holiday cottage rental companies and below,
details of
individual properties.

Sally's Cottages
This is a company run by Sally &
Robert, a husband and wife team, who manage a wide range of
high-quality
self-catering holiday cottages located mostly on the
Western side of the Lake District – in the delightful valleys of Eskdale,
Ravenglass, Wasdale,
Ennerdale and around Cockermouth. This is a more remote part of the Lake District
with a much slower and more traditional pace of life than the busier centres of Windermere
and
Ambleside.
The tranquillity is profound; there are hundreds of
delightful
walks, which you can enjoy along the valley floor, or on the ascents
of some of the most
spectacular fells in England. And you'll certainly be able to find
what you need, for there's a whole range of properties from those
with one bedroom right up to a property which sleeps twenty-six! Most of the cottages
can accommodate
pets - and most are in easy walking distance of fine pubs offering
traditional Cumbrian food and excellent local ales.

Whinfell - Center Parcs Oasis, Whinfell Forest, Lake District
You can go self-catering here if you wish to, though there are
so many restaurants and facilities on site you may just prefer to
sit back and let someone else do the cooking!
Web:
www.centerparcs.co.uk
Here's a guide to some
www.hotelslakedistrict.org which might be just right for you. We have to admit we
are responsible for that site, and therefore also for the top picture,
which, I can assure you, will be changed as soon as possible for something
slightly more relevant geographically .....and there's another site under
development and also set up by us, designed so that it will eventually
offer a slightly more specialist choice of
www.hotelsinLakeDistrict.org -
the English Lake District, that is, not the Lake District in Canada or
Italy, nice though they undoubtedly are! It may be some time before the
site is fully operational, but the first priority is this main Lake
District Guide, which continues to grow in popularity day by day. |
