Queen’s Birthday: the best Lake District cottages for celebrating Her Majesty’s 92nd Birthday

April is looking like a busy month on the Royal engagement calendar and so we think it may be the month for Afternoon Tea and other such traditional celebrations in the Lake District.

Kate Middleton, The Duchess of Cambridge, is due her third baby around the 23rd April. The Queen also hosts one of the largest global Heads of Government summits (Commonwealth Heads of Government Summit) over the week of 16th-20th April. This is promptly followed by an evening of world music in a concert at The Royal Albert Hall on Saturday 21st April, to celebrate The Queen’s 92nd Birthday, organised by the Royal Commonwealth Society and to be broadcast on the BBC. It will be the first birthday that The Queen has celebrated publicly.

We’ve selected some of our large cottages with VisitEngland 5 star Gold Award rating, that are perfect for celebrating with Her Majesty (or for hiding away from it all, for that matter!).
