5 Reasons To Book a Large Lake District Holiday Cottage

Special occasions are best spent with your family and friends and in the Lake District they evolve into the most magical memories imaginable.

The scenery, the culture make a great start, but well the homes – the rural retreats, the hideaways, the lakeside lovelies  and not forgetting the could-be-castles – simply can’t be knocked.

That stay where you strolled along your own private shoreline. The one where you partied until the small hours in the grandest, Victorian dining room. That time you caught up on the past 5 years while sipping champers on the terrace, or the precious time you spent with your closest friends and family before walking up the aisle on the biggest day of your life.

Wedding party, milestone birthday or anniversary or just any excuse for a large gathering of friends or family, the Lake District gives you an abundance of picturesque landscape. And, Lakelovers gives you a plethora of lavish, luxury homes – the historical, the stately, the stylish.

If that hasn’t swayed you, here are some more reasons why a large holiday cottage in the Lake District is perfect for your group stay:

1. 1. Hiring a home can be cheaper than booking hotel rooms;
   2. You get your very own private space;
   3. Want to have a party? You can do and bring your own food and drinks;
   4. You and your guests can arrive by boat or even a helicopter *
   5. You can bring your pets*

* At selected homes

We want to help you host that perfect occasion, so here are some of our special homes:

Domvs, Windermere – sleeps 12

As you drive closer and closer, you’ll be increasingly wowed by the magnificent period residence – a castle in its own right.

History and a grand stay beckon here.

The original tower is now a beautiful bedroom with quite possibly the most sumptuous views in the Lake District, and you’ll find the ancient England features, which pay homage to Victorian life with original staircases, high, ornate ceilings and antique furniture, blend effortlessly with the 21^st Century modern luxury.

The pre-dinner drinks or high-tea in the gardens, the catching up on the terrace, the get-to –know each other before the wedding – the possibilities are simply great.

Your special occasion will be entirely enhanced here as enchantment and magic await your party here.

Sattherthwaite Farmhouse, Hawkshead – sleeps 8

There is nothing but the magical Grizedale forest surrounding you with a stay at this gorgeous 17^th Century traditional Lakeland farmhouse.

No matter what time of year you want to stay, Satterthwaite provides you with some of the most stunning scenery, which dramatically changes with the seasons.

The ambience will make a remarkable and fine backdrop to your special occasion or party with its oozing character of polished slate floors, adorning oak beams, wood-burning stoves, picture windows and quirky staircases.

Your special occasion or party will feel relaxing and homely here.

The Boundary

Whatever special occasion brings you to the Lake District, it will have an air of chic sophistication about it here.

This pretty, period house has been given a sleek, boutique makeover, monochrome colours and quirky furniture.

But the quirky doesn’t stop there , since the owner has a passion for cricket and has named all of the after legendary cricketers – including after C.B. Fry, the legendary Edwardian cricketer and all-round Renaissance man.

There’s an aptly raffish feel to this room, but that’s what you and your guests will love about this unique home, how the bygone days blend seamlessly into the modern of each uniquely-themed room.
