However at Lakelovers, we\u2019re inclined not to agree, and think that our British Isles make a perfect holiday destination.<\/p>\n<h2>Sailing across an equatorial sea on a luxury cruise liner<\/h2>\n<p>Cruise across Lake Windermere instead. This cruise ship may not serve five star meals, but it will take you along the longest lake in the Lake District, with some of the most glorious views. Forget about tropical fish and cocktails, and instead learn about why Windermere isn\u2019t technically a lake, and that ice cream is delicious even when it\u2019s cold.<br \/> Staying in a five star hotel.<\/p>\n<p>Why pay for a passport and the cost of a flight to go to a fancy hotel when you can stay in a <a title=\"Luxury Five Star\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lakelovers.co.uk\/luxury-lake-district-cottages\/\">luxury five star cottage<\/a> right here in the Lake District? With elegance, style and sophistication, the only thing missing is the sniffy concierge. We even have a selection of <a title=\"Dog friendly Cottages\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lakelovers.co.uk\/dog-friendly-cottages\/\">dog-friendly cottages<\/a>, and we\u2019d much rather bring Rex along than spend the weekend tipping a gent in a posh suit.<\/p>\n<h4>An African safari with exotic animals<\/h4>\n<p>There are multiple wildlife centres across the Lake District, with some truly spectacular animals in them. From snow leopards to lions, rhinos to lemurs, you can see all the wild animals you could want, and have a cuppa in the gift shop before leaving!<\/p>\n<h4>Camping in Europe<\/h4>\n<p>When there is such a wide selection of self-catering cottages in the Lake District, we\u2019re not sure why the tent hasn\u2019t gone out of style yet. When you give the choice between clean, comfortable, cosy cottages, and damp, soggy, cramped tents, we know where we\u2019d rather stay. With the idyllic locations of many of our cottages, you won\u2019t be missing out on getting in touch with nature.<br \/> So, whatever type of holiday you love, there\u2019s an option in the heart of the lakes for you.
