late availability cottages in Lake District and Cumbria

Often overlooked for a visit to the Lake District is the availability of late holidays. Like any popular holiday destination, most late availability in the Lake District occurs either due to cancellations, with the easing of accommodation due to seasonal fluctuations, or just simply because the available dates are approaching and the property has not yet been let. This means you can get the choice of some superb self-catering opportunities at a healthy discount on normal seasonal rates.

Scenic Cumbria is an idyllic location for a nature-filled vacation. There are so many things to do, including a trip on Lake Windermere, a visit to the historic kingdom of Rheged or a day around Carlisle and imposing Carlisle Cathedral. Our accommodation in Cumbria has been selected for its location, amenities and comfort – choose a holiday cottage for a memorable visit to this fantastic region.
