The Lake District, in the heart of Cumbria, offers a mesmerising destination for your next staycation. Everywhere you look you’ll find shimmering waters, dramatic fells, and quaint villages, all of which add up to create a truly spectacular place to stay. The Lake District is a UNESCO World Heritage site and it promises more than just picture-postcard views.
Lakes like Windermere and Ullswater glisten under changing skies, ideal for gentle paddleboarding or serene boat trips. Hikers are spoiled for choice, from the iconic Scafell Pike - England’s highest peak - to lesser-trodden paths in Buttermere, where solitude amplifies the scenery. For literary souls, the spirit of Wordsworth lingers; Dove Cottage and the daffodil-draped shores of Grasmere are a pilgrimage worth making.
Foodies, too, will be thrilled. From rustic tearooms to Michelin-starred delights such as L’Enclume, the region’s culinary offerings are as rich as its landscapes. Then, there’s the warm Cumbrian welcome - pubs brimming with charm, roaring fires, and pints of locally brewed ale.
Whether you’re seeking adventure or tranquillity, its allure lies in its ability to slow time and awaken the senses. Nature, history, and culture converge here, making it an irresistible retreat for all seasons. It should come as no surprise to you that here at Coolstays we love the Lake District. We have an array of wonderful stays for you to choose from, including charming houses, converted barns, and cosy cabins.
