Getting Cottage Cosy this Autumn

Darker nights and cosy holiday cottages

In this month’s self-catering cottage collection we have selected some of our favourite cottages starting from £335 up to £1485, and we’ve mixed in two new to the market holiday cottages that you simple must ogle.

As we prepare for the clocks going back, this collection of snug and impressive holiday cottages really come into their own. As you’ll perhaps already know, Lakelovers holiday cottages are all hand-picked with a minimum VisitEngland accreditation of 3 star rating. We are proud of our holiday cottages and with the onset of darker nights we plan to take full advantage of them.

Just as the Lake District landscape is at its best with the autumnal colours, so too are our cottages. Log burners crackle and the aroma of spicy pumpkin soup and roast dinners drift from the kitchen as holidaymakers opt to eat in over the darker months.  Torch-lit walks back form the local pub, shopping new winter clothing and then trying out new walking gear on bracing autumnal walks, yes we do love this time of year.

Corner Cottage, Troutbeck | 1 bed | 4 star gold award | From £355

For couples looking to pay a little more to enjoy a Gold award Lake District cottage, Corner Cottage offers a stylish renovation with thoughtful extra’s like bottle of wine and milk upon arrival. Set in one of the quietest valleys in the Lake District, Corner Cottage is perched amidst stunning scenery in heart of the conservation village of Troutbeck. Combining a beautifully renovated cottage with a garden offering enviable views, Corner Cottage is quite the find.
