Superb self-catering getaways
Holiday retreats in England
Many outstanding places to stay
Over the years, the self-catering appeal of cottages, lodges, holiday chalets and caravans has become ever-more popular with visitors to the Lake District. They offer all the comforts and facilities or home but in an unrivaled setting. Where they win above other holiday accommodation is with families who are looking for a holiday without the timetable or set mealtimes. And of course much self-catering accommodation is pet-friendly, offering as equal a welcome to those members of the family that are normally left behind in kennels or catteries.
