Self-catering holiday in the Lake District

Self-catering holiday cottages in North West England

Visitors to the Lake District will find they are completely spoilt for choice when it comes to self-catering accommodation. Whether you’re looking for a short break or perhaps planning a longer holiday, there is an excellent choice of cottages, lodges, apartments, chalets, flats, caravanning and camping facilities throughout the region.

And it makes no difference what style of accommodation you choose, because you can rest assured you will receive a warm Cumbrian welcome and the best hospitality in one of the most idyllic parts of the UK. But not restricted to rural Cumbria, cross over the West Pennine Moors to Blackpool and Liverpool for industry museums and art galleries.
