About You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI have lived in Ambleside for over 20 years and love it! I live with my partner, youngest daughter and 2 dogs.<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nI am so lucky to have so many walks from my door, however, I do love driving through the Lake District, especially over the Honister pass to Buttermere taking in the spectacular views all around.<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nI think we are pretty spoilt for choice around here, there are so many places to eat from my doorstep, I love the Italian restaurant Misto, and the pizzas at Ambleside Tap Yard with a pint of their craft beer is just divine, there is really something for everyone in Ambleside.<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nI live just a stone’s throw from the Lake and Borrans Park, it\u2019s a nice feeling knowing that I can leave my front door and in a matter of minutes be by the Lake. I love the hustle and bustle of Ambleside in the height of the Summer Season seeing everyone outside enjoying themselves and then equally the peacefulness in Winter when it is so quiet.<\/p>\n

About You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI currently live in Cockermouth a beautiful Georgian Market town on the edge of the National Park.\u00a0 \u00a0The town is considered the gateway to the western Lake District and Solway Coast, a vibrant town with plenty to explore and enjoy for locals and tourists alike.<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nMy favourite place to walk is the Buttermere Valley, the fells offer challenging ridgeline hikes and the 3 lakes offer easy lakeside walking with ever changing beautiful views.<\/p>\n
Go to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nThere are so many beautiful places to eat in the area, my favourite place for a bar meal and drink after a lovely walk in Buttermere would be The Kirkstile Inn they offer a fantastic selection and the location is stunning.\u00a0 Shill’s in Cockermouth is a lovely place for an evening meal or Tapas quality food, relaxing atmosphere and occasionally live music.<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nI love living and working in the Lake District having the countryside on your door step with amazing views is perfect, in particular I love being able to walk straight from the doorstep along river banks, around lakes and around country lanes.<\/p>\n
\nRomany Grieshaber – Owner Success Manager (Windermere)<\/h2>\nAbout You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI was born in Bath but have lived in the lakes for over 10 years now. I always visited the Lakes growing up with my Grandma having been born in Ambleside, it was always a home away from home.<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nThere’s so many that I’ve done over the years, however there’s nothing quite like completing Scafell Pike- it’s a challenge but so rewarding.<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nDefinitely Doi Inthanon in Ambleside, the food is delicious. Also, The Highwayman in Kirkby Lonsdale – simply some of the best food I’ve ever had!<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nSpring\u00a0 time in the Lakes is my favourite, it’s such a beautiful season and watching the Lakes wake up from winter is fantastic!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
About You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI\u2019m Nic – short for Nicola. I am what you would call born and bred in The Lakes. I\u2019ve lived here all my life, give or take a few months here and there!<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nMy favourite Lake District walk is Barf & Lords Seat. The views are incredible, and you can see the west coast from the top.<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nI live in Keswick, so my go-to place for food and drinks would be Bar Es. It\u2019s locally owned and I\u2019m a firm believer in supporting local businesses\u2026. and the food is lovely! Mexican style tapas, so, great with a bottle of wine and my best friends.<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nI love that I don\u2019t have a long commute to work, and I can look out of any windows at home and see mountains and valleys for miles. I feel grateful to have been born and raised in this part of the world. It\u2019s stunning, and I\u2019m so happy to be able to bring my daughter up here.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
About You<\/strong><\/h3>\nOriginally from Manchester, I relocated to the Lakes with my family before joining the military. My service honed my expertise in communications, planning and logistics. Following my military career, I successfully applied these skills in roles across various sectors, including Engineering, the NHS and the building industry. A new opportunity presented itself with Lakelovers in 2022 and since then, I have leveraged my knowledge of property management plus my knowledge of the Lakes to become a Property Account Manager.<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nI love the peaceful solitude of the quieter fells, so my favourite walk is probably to the top of Blea Tarn. The serene tarn, the ancient woodland and the breath taking views of the Langdale Pikes make it a perfect escape.<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nFor more casual dining experience, I often head to The Bridge House In in Grasmere. The outdoor seating area with views of the river is perfect for a sunny day and the food is always fresh and tasty<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe stunning natural beauty of the Lake District is, of course, the biggest draw. But I also love the friendly and welcoming community, the abundance of outdoor activities and the slower pace of life. Working here allows me to combine my passion for the outdoors with my career, which is providing\u00a0 a service that hopefully inspires others to explore this beautiful region and appreciate its natural wonders.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
About You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI have lived in the Lakes since 1991 having moved here after university, most of that time I lived in Penny Bridge a small village enroute to Coniston. I moved to Kendal 2 years ago. I love the outdoors and find that living in here is fantastic for accessing the outdoors. I enjoy DIY too and I’ve restored my last 2 houses, nearly there with my current one. Another passion is skiing.<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Old Man of Coniston. this walk is so accessible and versatile, its a little demanding towards the top, slightly steep but the views are incredible. On a clear day you can see the Isle of Man and all the way up the west coast towards Scotland. Depending on your fitness level its also a decent run from Walna Scar over the top and down past Goats Water. The are are some great cafes in and around Coniston to grab a coffee after your walk, allowing you to catch your breath!<\/p>\n
Go to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nWhen we go walking in the north of the county, we love to finish up in the Square Orange in Keswick. It’s only small and always busy, but it’s worth the wait. It’s not fancy but has a nice European vibe, which I like.<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nAccess to the fells and lakes, the people and that you can get to Scotland or Wales reasonably easily from here.<\/p>\n
\nVicky Thatcher – Account Manager (Windermere)<\/h2>\nAbout You\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\nI have wanted to live in the Lake District for a very long time. This dream finally came true three years ago when we gave up our careers, sold our house and moved to Windermere from East Yorkshire. I love my \u2018new life\u2019 and having this amazing landscape on my doorstep; my only regret is not having made the move sooner.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nFavourite Lake District walk\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\nI\u2019m out walking as often as time allows so choosing one favourite walk is tricky! I love the fact that there are some great walks from my house; however, Helm Crag near Grasmere (up to the lion and the lamb) is a great walk and there are plenty of lovely coffee shops in the village for a well-deserved treat at the end.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nGo-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Masons Arms at Strawberry Bank is a lovely old pub with great food and super views. Closer to home, San Pietro in Windermere is always a good choice.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nFavourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\nI feel very lucky to be able to live and work in such a beautiful place, surrounded by amazing views and opportunities to walk and kayak. I have a great bunch of colleagues at Lakelovers and feel fortunate to have had the chance to have a complete career change.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n

Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nAgain, living in Windermere and only 1 mile from Bowness on Windermere, I’m spolit for choice.

Favourite Lake District walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nThere’s so many awesome walks it’s difficult to pick a favourite but we have Whinlatter Forest just behind us so our regular dog walk is through the trails in the forest -often with a cuppa & a sweet treat from the caf\u00e9 half way round!<\/p>\n

\nSteve Martin – Property Services Manager (Ambleside)<\/h2>\nAbout You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI live in the Kendal area and have worked for Lakelovers for 8 years. In my spare time I play in a local covers band which gets me out and about to different venues around the county and over the border too. So as much recreation and socialising as I can fit in<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nI enjoy looking back towards Windermere from the top of Todd Crag on Loughrigg Fell, it’s simply stunning. There’s so many outdoor activities that make you feel invigorated, inspired, excited and enthused in the Lakes, plus the outlying areas of Cumbria too. If the acitivity leads you to a good pub at the end of it, happy days!<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nI love a good curry, so for me the best place is British Raj in Kendal or further afield Taste of Bengal in Penrith, both very good. One of my pub food favourites is The Masons Arms, Strawberry Bank.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
About You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI’ve worked for the Lakes brands for 8 years, based in our Fisherbeck office in Ambleside. I commute to work from a small rural village called Kirkby in Furness, where I live with my husband and my 2 dogs. I’m also green fingered and like gardening in my spare time<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nAs I live near the sea, I enjoy coastal walks with my dogs, or I head into the beautiful Duddon Valley, the west coastline is also a lovely quiet place to wander along the many beaches. If I’m not walking I enjoy going out on my electric bike as long as I don’t have to go up hills!<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nI enjoy the delicious food at the Manor House Oxen Park near Ulverston and the Brown Horse at Winster is a great pub too!<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nMy journey to work is so scenic, every day it can be different depending on the weather.

I love the fact that there are some great walks from my house; however, Helm Crag near Grasmere (up to the lion and the lamb) is a great walk and there are plenty of lovely coffee shops in the village for a well-deserved treat at the end.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nGo-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Masons Arms at Strawberry Bank is a lovely old pub with great food and super views.

Favourite Lake District Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nAs I live near the sea, I enjoy coastal walks with my dogs, or I head into the beautiful Duddon Valley, the west coastline is also a lovely quiet place to wander along the many beaches. If I’m not walking I enjoy going out on my electric bike as long as I don’t have to go up hills!<\/p>\n

Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nIt is a fabulous place to come and visit, a good mix of everything, if you don\u2019t like it too busy maybe best to stay a little bit out or head to the heart of the lakes, where its full of atmosphere.

\nEmma Stainton – Maintenance Manager (Ambleside)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
About You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI’ve been at Lakelovers now for over 7 years based in Ambleside. In my spare time I enjoy baking and to counteract the baking I try and make time to go running on the trails around my home in Windermere.\u00a0 I enjoy going out into the fells and I have been ticking off the Wainwrights and have recently reached 100 (only another 114 to go!).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nFavourite Lake District Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nThere are many fantastic walks and so much beautiful scenery all across the Lake District.

I live just a stone’s throw from the Lake and Borrans Park, it\u2019s a nice feeling knowing that I can leave my front door and in a matter of minutes be by the Lake. I love the hustle and bustle of Ambleside in the height of the Summer Season seeing everyone outside enjoying themselves and then equally the peacefulness in Winter when it is so quiet.<\/p>\n

Karen Smith – Owner Success Manager (Keswick)<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
About You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI currently live in Cockermouth a beautiful Georgian Market town on the edge of the National Park.\u00a0 \u00a0The town is considered the gateway to the western Lake District and Solway Coast, a vibrant town with plenty to explore and enjoy for locals and tourists alike.<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nMy favourite place to walk is the Buttermere Valley, the fells offer challenging ridgeline hikes and the 3 lakes offer easy lakeside walking with ever changing beautiful views.<\/p>\n
Go to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nThere are so many beautiful places to eat in the area, my favourite place for a bar meal and drink after a lovely walk in Buttermere would be The Kirkstile Inn they offer a fantastic selection and the location is stunning.\u00a0 Shill’s in Cockermouth is a lovely place for an evening meal or Tapas quality food, relaxing atmosphere and occasionally live music.<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nI love living and working in the Lake District having the countryside on your door step with amazing views is perfect, in particular I love being able to walk straight from the doorstep along river banks, around lakes and around country lanes.<\/p>\n
\nRomany Grieshaber – Owner Success Manager (Windermere)<\/h2>\nAbout You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI was born in Bath but have lived in the lakes for over 10 years now. I always visited the Lakes growing up with my Grandma having been born in Ambleside, it was always a home away from home.<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nThere’s so many that I’ve done over the years, however there’s nothing quite like completing Scafell Pike- it’s a challenge but so rewarding.<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nDefinitely Doi Inthanon in Ambleside, the food is delicious. Also, The Highwayman in Kirkby Lonsdale – simply some of the best food I’ve ever had!<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nSpring\u00a0 time in the Lakes is my favourite, it’s such a beautiful season and watching the Lakes wake up from winter is fantastic!<\/p>\n
\nNicola Thompson – Account Manager (Keswick)<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
About You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI\u2019m Nic – short for Nicola. I am what you would call born and bred in The Lakes. I\u2019ve lived here all my life, give or take a few months here and there!<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nMy favourite Lake District walk is Barf & Lords Seat. The views are incredible, and you can see the west coast from the top.<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nI live in Keswick, so my go-to place for food and drinks would be Bar Es. It\u2019s locally owned and I\u2019m a firm believer in supporting local businesses\u2026. and the food is lovely! Mexican style tapas, so, great with a bottle of wine and my best friends.<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nI love that I don\u2019t have a long commute to work, and I can look out of any windows at home and see mountains and valleys for miles. I feel grateful to have been born and raised in this part of the world. It\u2019s stunning, and I\u2019m so happy to be able to bring my daughter up here.<\/p>\n
\nStuart Hamilton – Account Manager (Windermere)<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
About You<\/strong><\/h3>\nOriginally from Manchester, I relocated to the Lakes with my family before joining the military. My service honed my expertise in communications, planning and logistics. Following my military career, I successfully applied these skills in roles across various sectors, including Engineering, the NHS and the building industry. A new opportunity presented itself with Lakelovers in 2022 and since then, I have leveraged my knowledge of property management plus my knowledge of the Lakes to become a Property Account Manager.<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nI love the peaceful solitude of the quieter fells, so my favourite walk is probably to the top of Blea Tarn. The serene tarn, the ancient woodland and the breath taking views of the Langdale Pikes make it a perfect escape.<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nFor more casual dining experience, I often head to The Bridge House In in Grasmere. The outdoor seating area with views of the river is perfect for a sunny day and the food is always fresh and tasty<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe stunning natural beauty of the Lake District is, of course, the biggest draw. But I also love the friendly and welcoming community, the abundance of outdoor activities and the slower pace of life. Working here allows me to combine my passion for the outdoors with my career, which is providing\u00a0 a service that hopefully inspires others to explore this beautiful region and appreciate its natural wonders.<\/p>\n

\nPeter Alger – Account Manager (Windermere)<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
About You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI have lived in the Lakes since 1991 having moved here after university, most of that time I lived in Penny Bridge a small village enroute to Coniston. I moved to Kendal 2 years ago. I love the outdoors and find that living in here is fantastic for accessing the outdoors. I enjoy DIY too and I’ve restored my last 2 houses, nearly there with my current one. Another passion is skiing.<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Old Man of Coniston. this walk is so accessible and versatile, its a little demanding towards the top, slightly steep but the views are incredible. On a clear day you can see the Isle of Man and all the way up the west coast towards Scotland. Depending on your fitness level its also a decent run from Walna Scar over the top and down past Goats Water. The are are some great cafes in and around Coniston to grab a coffee after your walk, allowing you to catch your breath!<\/p>\n
Go to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nWhen we go walking in the north of the county, we love to finish up in the Square Orange in Keswick. It’s only small and always busy, but it’s worth the wait. It’s not fancy but has a nice European vibe, which I like.<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nAccess to the fells and lakes, the people and that you can get to Scotland or Wales reasonably easily from here.<\/p>\n

My favourite place to walk is the Buttermere Valley, the fells offer challenging ridgeline hikes and the 3 lakes offer easy lakeside walking with ever changing beautiful views.<\/p>\n
Go to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nThere are so many beautiful places to eat in the area, my favourite place for a bar meal and drink after a lovely walk in Buttermere would be The Kirkstile Inn they offer a fantastic selection and the location is stunning.\u00a0 Shill’s in Cockermouth is a lovely place for an evening meal or Tapas quality food, relaxing atmosphere and occasionally live music.<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nI love living and working in the Lake District having the countryside on your door step with amazing views is perfect, in particular I love being able to walk straight from the doorstep along river banks, around lakes and around country lanes.<\/p>\n
\nRomany Grieshaber – Owner Success Manager (Windermere)<\/h2>\nAbout You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI was born in Bath but have lived in the lakes for over 10 years now. I always visited the Lakes growing up with my Grandma having been born in Ambleside, it was always a home away from home.<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nThere’s so many that I’ve done over the years, however there’s nothing quite like completing Scafell Pike- it’s a challenge but so rewarding.<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nDefinitely Doi Inthanon in Ambleside, the food is delicious. Also, The Highwayman in Kirkby Lonsdale – simply some of the best food I’ve ever had!<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nSpring\u00a0 time in the Lakes is my favourite, it’s such a beautiful season and watching the Lakes wake up from winter is fantastic!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
About You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI\u2019m Nic – short for Nicola. I am what you would call born and bred in The Lakes. I\u2019ve lived here all my life, give or take a few months here and there!<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nMy favourite Lake District walk is Barf & Lords Seat. The views are incredible, and you can see the west coast from the top.<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nI live in Keswick, so my go-to place for food and drinks would be Bar Es. It\u2019s locally owned and I\u2019m a firm believer in supporting local businesses\u2026. and the food is lovely! Mexican style tapas, so, great with a bottle of wine and my best friends.<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nI love that I don\u2019t have a long commute to work, and I can look out of any windows at home and see mountains and valleys for miles. I feel grateful to have been born and raised in this part of the world. It\u2019s stunning, and I\u2019m so happy to be able to bring my daughter up here.<\/p>\n
\nStuart Hamilton – Account Manager (Windermere)<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
About You<\/strong><\/h3>\nOriginally from Manchester, I relocated to the Lakes with my family before joining the military. My service honed my expertise in communications, planning and logistics. Following my military career, I successfully applied these skills in roles across various sectors, including Engineering, the NHS and the building industry. A new opportunity presented itself with Lakelovers in 2022 and since then, I have leveraged my knowledge of property management plus my knowledge of the Lakes to become a Property Account Manager.<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nI love the peaceful solitude of the quieter fells, so my favourite walk is probably to the top of Blea Tarn. The serene tarn, the ancient woodland and the breath taking views of the Langdale Pikes make it a perfect escape.<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nFor more casual dining experience, I often head to The Bridge House In in Grasmere. The outdoor seating area with views of the river is perfect for a sunny day and the food is always fresh and tasty<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe stunning natural beauty of the Lake District is, of course, the biggest draw. But I also love the friendly and welcoming community, the abundance of outdoor activities and the slower pace of life. Working here allows me to combine my passion for the outdoors with my career, which is providing\u00a0 a service that hopefully inspires others to explore this beautiful region and appreciate its natural wonders.<\/p>\n

\nPeter Alger – Account Manager (Windermere)<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
About You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI have lived in the Lakes since 1991 having moved here after university, most of that time I lived in Penny Bridge a small village enroute to Coniston. I moved to Kendal 2 years ago. I love the outdoors and find that living in here is fantastic for accessing the outdoors. I enjoy DIY too and I’ve restored my last 2 houses, nearly there with my current one. Another passion is skiing.<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Old Man of Coniston. this walk is so accessible and versatile, its a little demanding towards the top, slightly steep but the views are incredible. On a clear day you can see the Isle of Man and all the way up the west coast towards Scotland. Depending on your fitness level its also a decent run from Walna Scar over the top and down past Goats Water. The are are some great cafes in and around Coniston to grab a coffee after your walk, allowing you to catch your breath!<\/p>\n
Go to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nWhen we go walking in the north of the county, we love to finish up in the Square Orange in Keswick. It’s only small and always busy, but it’s worth the wait. It’s not fancy but has a nice European vibe, which I like.<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nAccess to the fells and lakes, the people and that you can get to Scotland or Wales reasonably easily from here.<\/p>\n

Favourite Lake District Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nI enjoy looking back towards Windermere from the top of Todd Crag on Loughrigg Fell, it’s simply stunning.

If the acitivity leads you to a good pub at the end of it, happy days!<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nI love a good curry, so for me the best place is British Raj in Kendal or further afield Taste of Bengal in Penrith, both very good. One of my pub food favourites is The Masons Arms, Strawberry Bank.<\/p>\n

Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nNew favourite – The Ruddings, Braithwaite and recently renovated pub Swinside Inn, Newlands Valley – both have excellent food and dog friendly<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nLiving in the Lakes is a dream, the views, the lakes and the walks – it has everything you could wish for, we even got ourselves a paddle board!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sharon Taylor – Account Manager (Keswick)<\/h2>\n\nAbout You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI feel lucky to have lived in the Lakes all my life in different areas from Ravenglass to Thornthwaite near Keswick. I live with my Husband, our son and our gorgeous dog Zeppie – the boss of the house.<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nThere’s so many awesome walks it’s difficult to pick a favourite but we have Whinlatter Forest just behind us so our regular dog walk is through the trails in the forest -often with a cuppa & a sweet treat from the caf\u00e9 half way round!<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in\u00a0the\u00a0Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nLiving close to Keswick we have so many excellent places for food and drink.

The Inn on The Square do delicious lunches and dinners with the best steaks and great cocktails!\u00a0Casa Bella – a family business doing\u00a0 lovely Italian food and homemade gelato<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in\u00a0the\u00a0Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nLovely friendly community, beautiful scenery all year round and I love that I’m never very far away from one of the lakes for a wild swim or (or just a quick dunk if it’s freezing cold!)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nSteve Martin – Property Services Manager (Ambleside)<\/h2>\nAbout You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI live in the Kendal area and have worked for Lakelovers for 8 years. In my spare time I play in a local covers band which gets me out and about to different venues around the county and over the border too. So as much recreation and socialising as I can fit in<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nI enjoy looking back towards Windermere from the top of Todd Crag on Loughrigg Fell, it’s simply stunning. There’s so many outdoor activities that make you feel invigorated, inspired, excited and enthused in the Lakes, plus the outlying areas of Cumbria too. If the acitivity leads you to a good pub at the end of it, happy days!<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nI love a good curry, so for me the best place is British Raj in Kendal or further afield Taste of Bengal in Penrith, both very good. One of my pub food favourites is The Masons Arms, Strawberry Bank.<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nThere is so much variety here, I love the local feel-good atmosphere on a gorgeous and sunny day.<\/p>\n
\n<\/h3>\nSteph Pearson – Local Supplier Lead – Housekeeping (Ambleside)<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
About You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI’ve worked for the Lakes brands for 8 years, based in our Fisherbeck office in Ambleside. I commute to work from a small rural village called Kirkby in Furness, where I live with my husband and my 2 dogs. I’m also green fingered and like gardening in my spare time<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nAs I live near the sea, I enjoy coastal walks with my dogs, or I head into the beautiful Duddon Valley, the west coastline is also a lovely quiet place to wander along the many beaches. If I’m not walking I enjoy going out on my electric bike as long as I don’t have to go up hills!<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nI enjoy the delicious food at the Manor House Oxen Park near Ulverston and the Brown Horse at Winster is a great pub too!<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nMy journey to work is so scenic, every day it can be different depending on the weather. My role at work allows me to get out and about in the lakes, visiting many of our fantastic properties, my favourite places are Grasmere and Keswick, both different but equally as nice.<\/p>\n

Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nI tend to head south and one of my favourite places to eat is Gilpin Bridge near Levens, great pub grub!<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nIt is a fabulous place to come and visit, a good mix of everything, if you don\u2019t like it too busy maybe best to stay a little bit out or head to the heart of the lakes, where its full of atmosphere. There’s so much to do, my recommendations are Grizedale Forest, Lakes Aquarium and a trip on the lake steamer, something for all the family.<\/p>\n

\nEmma Stainton – Maintenance Manager (Ambleside)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
About You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI’ve been at Lakelovers now for over 7 years based in Ambleside. In my spare time I enjoy baking and to counteract the baking I try and make time to go running on the trails around my home in Windermere.\u00a0 I enjoy going out into the fells and I have been ticking off the Wainwrights and have recently reached 100 (only another 114 to go!).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nFavourite Lake District Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nThere are many fantastic walks and so much beautiful scenery all across the Lake District.

I was born in Bath but have lived in the lakes for over 10 years now. I always visited the Lakes growing up with my Grandma having been born in Ambleside, it was always a home away from home.<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nThere’s so many that I’ve done over the years, however there’s nothing quite like completing Scafell Pike- it’s a challenge but so rewarding.<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nDefinitely Doi Inthanon in Ambleside, the food is delicious. Also, The Highwayman in Kirkby Lonsdale – simply some of the best food I’ve ever had!<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nSpring\u00a0 time in the Lakes is my favourite, it’s such a beautiful season and watching the Lakes wake up from winter is fantastic!<\/p>\n
\nNicola Thompson – Account Manager (Keswick)<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
About You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI\u2019m Nic – short for Nicola. I am what you would call born and bred in The Lakes. I\u2019ve lived here all my life, give or take a few months here and there!<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nMy favourite Lake District walk is Barf & Lords Seat. The views are incredible, and you can see the west coast from the top.<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nI live in Keswick, so my go-to place for food and drinks would be Bar Es. It\u2019s locally owned and I\u2019m a firm believer in supporting local businesses\u2026. and the food is lovely! Mexican style tapas, so, great with a bottle of wine and my best friends.<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nI love that I don\u2019t have a long commute to work, and I can look out of any windows at home and see mountains and valleys for miles. I feel grateful to have been born and raised in this part of the world. It\u2019s stunning, and I\u2019m so happy to be able to bring my daughter up here.<\/p>\n
\nStuart Hamilton – Account Manager (Windermere)<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
About You<\/strong><\/h3>\nOriginally from Manchester, I relocated to the Lakes with my family before joining the military. My service honed my expertise in communications, planning and logistics. Following my military career, I successfully applied these skills in roles across various sectors, including Engineering, the NHS and the building industry. A new opportunity presented itself with Lakelovers in 2022 and since then, I have leveraged my knowledge of property management plus my knowledge of the Lakes to become a Property Account Manager.<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nI love the peaceful solitude of the quieter fells, so my favourite walk is probably to the top of Blea Tarn. The serene tarn, the ancient woodland and the breath taking views of the Langdale Pikes make it a perfect escape.<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nFor more casual dining experience, I often head to The Bridge House In in Grasmere. The outdoor seating area with views of the river is perfect for a sunny day and the food is always fresh and tasty<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe stunning natural beauty of the Lake District is, of course, the biggest draw. But I also love the friendly and welcoming community, the abundance of outdoor activities and the slower pace of life. Working here allows me to combine my passion for the outdoors with my career, which is providing\u00a0 a service that hopefully inspires others to explore this beautiful region and appreciate its natural wonders.<\/p>\n

\nPeter Alger – Account Manager (Windermere)<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
About You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI have lived in the Lakes since 1991 having moved here after university, most of that time I lived in Penny Bridge a small village enroute to Coniston. I moved to Kendal 2 years ago. I love the outdoors and find that living in here is fantastic for accessing the outdoors. I enjoy DIY too and I’ve restored my last 2 houses, nearly there with my current one. Another passion is skiing.<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Old Man of Coniston. this walk is so accessible and versatile, its a little demanding towards the top, slightly steep but the views are incredible. On a clear day you can see the Isle of Man and all the way up the west coast towards Scotland. Depending on your fitness level its also a decent run from Walna Scar over the top and down past Goats Water. The are are some great cafes in and around Coniston to grab a coffee after your walk, allowing you to catch your breath!<\/p>\n
Go to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nWhen we go walking in the north of the county, we love to finish up in the Square Orange in Keswick. It’s only small and always busy, but it’s worth the wait. It’s not fancy but has a nice European vibe, which I like.<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nAccess to the fells and lakes, the people and that you can get to Scotland or Wales reasonably easily from here.<\/p>\n
\nVicky Thatcher – Account Manager (Windermere)<\/h2>\nAbout You\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\nI have wanted to live in the Lake District for a very long time. This dream finally came true three years ago when we gave up our careers, sold our house and moved to Windermere from East Yorkshire. I love my \u2018new life\u2019 and having this amazing landscape on my doorstep; my only regret is not having made the move sooner.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nFavourite Lake District walk\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\nI\u2019m out walking as often as time allows so choosing one favourite walk is tricky! I love the fact that there are some great walks from my house; however, Helm Crag near Grasmere (up to the lion and the lamb) is a great walk and there are plenty of lovely coffee shops in the village for a well-deserved treat at the end.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nGo-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Masons Arms at Strawberry Bank is a lovely old pub with great food and super views. Closer to home, San Pietro in Windermere is always a good choice.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nFavourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\nI feel very lucky to be able to live and work in such a beautiful place, surrounded by amazing views and opportunities to walk and kayak. I have a great bunch of colleagues at Lakelovers and feel fortunate to have had the chance to have a complete career change.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
\nMatthew Raynor – Account Manager (Windermere)<\/h2>\nAbout You<\/h3>\n
I was actually born in west Yorkshire but I took a downgrade (just kidding) and moved to Cumbria in the early 90’s. I have lived here since then and love life over the border in the Lakes. My spare time I’m an avid Manchester United supporter and I love to travel.<\/span><\/p>\nFavourite Lake District Walk<\/h3>\n
I should do more walking, but Orrest Head is a lovely short walk from Windermere with amazing views at the top! \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nGo-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/h3>\n

Favourite walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nThere are so many to choose from, but I love walking from my doorstep up to School Knott, it’s a locals walk with great views from the summit<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nAgain, living in Windermere and only 1 mile from Bowness on Windermere, I’m spolit for choice. But one of my favourite places is Boaters Bar on the Glebe in Bowness, right on the lake, delicious pizzas and live music at the weekends, its a fun place to be<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nI\u2019m Nic – short for Nicola. I am what you would call born and bred in The Lakes. I\u2019ve lived here all my life, give or take a few months here and there!<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nMy favourite Lake District walk is Barf & Lords Seat. The views are incredible, and you can see the west coast from the top.<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nI live in Keswick, so my go-to place for food and drinks would be Bar Es. It\u2019s locally owned and I\u2019m a firm believer in supporting local businesses\u2026. and the food is lovely! Mexican style tapas, so, great with a bottle of wine and my best friends.<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nI love that I don\u2019t have a long commute to work, and I can look out of any windows at home and see mountains and valleys for miles. I feel grateful to have been born and raised in this part of the world. It\u2019s stunning, and I\u2019m so happy to be able to bring my daughter up here.<\/p>\n
\nStuart Hamilton – Account Manager (Windermere)<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
About You<\/strong><\/h3>\nOriginally from Manchester, I relocated to the Lakes with my family before joining the military. My service honed my expertise in communications, planning and logistics. Following my military career, I successfully applied these skills in roles across various sectors, including Engineering, the NHS and the building industry. A new opportunity presented itself with Lakelovers in 2022 and since then, I have leveraged my knowledge of property management plus my knowledge of the Lakes to become a Property Account Manager.<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nI love the peaceful solitude of the quieter fells, so my favourite walk is probably to the top of Blea Tarn. The serene tarn, the ancient woodland and the breath taking views of the Langdale Pikes make it a perfect escape.<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nFor more casual dining experience, I often head to The Bridge House In in Grasmere. The outdoor seating area with views of the river is perfect for a sunny day and the food is always fresh and tasty<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe stunning natural beauty of the Lake District is, of course, the biggest draw. But I also love the friendly and welcoming community, the abundance of outdoor activities and the slower pace of life. Working here allows me to combine my passion for the outdoors with my career, which is providing\u00a0 a service that hopefully inspires others to explore this beautiful region and appreciate its natural wonders.<\/p>\n

\nPeter Alger – Account Manager (Windermere)<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
About You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI have lived in the Lakes since 1991 having moved here after university, most of that time I lived in Penny Bridge a small village enroute to Coniston. I moved to Kendal 2 years ago. I love the outdoors and find that living in here is fantastic for accessing the outdoors. I enjoy DIY too and I’ve restored my last 2 houses, nearly there with my current one. Another passion is skiing.<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Old Man of Coniston. this walk is so accessible and versatile, its a little demanding towards the top, slightly steep but the views are incredible. On a clear day you can see the Isle of Man and all the way up the west coast towards Scotland. Depending on your fitness level its also a decent run from Walna Scar over the top and down past Goats Water. The are are some great cafes in and around Coniston to grab a coffee after your walk, allowing you to catch your breath!<\/p>\n
Go to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nWhen we go walking in the north of the county, we love to finish up in the Square Orange in Keswick. It’s only small and always busy, but it’s worth the wait. It’s not fancy but has a nice European vibe, which I like.<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nAccess to the fells and lakes, the people and that you can get to Scotland or Wales reasonably easily from here.<\/p>\n

Following my military career, I successfully applied these skills in roles across various sectors, including Engineering, the NHS and the building industry. A new opportunity presented itself with Lakelovers in 2022 and since then, I have leveraged my knowledge of property management plus my knowledge of the Lakes to become a Property Account Manager.<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nI love the peaceful solitude of the quieter fells, so my favourite walk is probably to the top of Blea Tarn. The serene tarn, the ancient woodland and the breath taking views of the Langdale Pikes make it a perfect escape.<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nFor more casual dining experience, I often head to The Bridge House In in Grasmere. The outdoor seating area with views of the river is perfect for a sunny day and the food is always fresh and tasty<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe stunning natural beauty of the Lake District is, of course, the biggest draw. But I also love the friendly and welcoming community, the abundance of outdoor activities and the slower pace of life. Working here allows me to combine my passion for the outdoors with my career, which is providing\u00a0 a service that hopefully inspires others to explore this beautiful region and appreciate its natural wonders.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
About You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI have lived in the Lakes since 1991 having moved here after university, most of that time I lived in Penny Bridge a small village enroute to Coniston. I moved to Kendal 2 years ago. I love the outdoors and find that living in here is fantastic for accessing the outdoors. I enjoy DIY too and I’ve restored my last 2 houses, nearly there with my current one. Another passion is skiing.<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Old Man of Coniston. this walk is so accessible and versatile, its a little demanding towards the top, slightly steep but the views are incredible. On a clear day you can see the Isle of Man and all the way up the west coast towards Scotland. Depending on your fitness level its also a decent run from Walna Scar over the top and down past Goats Water. The are are some great cafes in and around Coniston to grab a coffee after your walk, allowing you to catch your breath!<\/p>\n
Go to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nWhen we go walking in the north of the county, we love to finish up in the Square Orange in Keswick. It’s only small and always busy, but it’s worth the wait. It’s not fancy but has a nice European vibe, which I like.<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nAccess to the fells and lakes, the people and that you can get to Scotland or Wales reasonably easily from here.<\/p>\n
\nVicky Thatcher – Account Manager (Windermere)<\/h2>\nAbout You\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\nI have wanted to live in the Lake District for a very long time.

I love the fact that there are some great walks from my house; however, Helm Crag near Grasmere (up to the lion and the lamb) is a great walk and there are plenty of lovely coffee shops in the village for a well-deserved treat at the end.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nGo-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Masons Arms at Strawberry Bank is a lovely old pub with great food and super views.

Favourite Lake District Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nI enjoy looking back towards Windermere from the top of Todd Crag on Loughrigg Fell, it’s simply stunning. There’s so many outdoor activities that make you feel invigorated, inspired, excited and enthused in the Lakes, plus the outlying areas of Cumbria too. If the acitivity leads you to a good pub at the end of it, happy days!<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nI love a good curry, so for me the best place is British Raj in Kendal or further afield Taste of Bengal in Penrith, both very good. One of my pub food favourites is The Masons Arms, Strawberry Bank.<\/p>\n

About You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI’ve worked for the Lakes brands for 8 years, based in our Fisherbeck office in Ambleside. I commute to work from a small rural village called Kirkby in Furness, where I live with my husband and my 2 dogs. I’m also green fingered and like gardening in my spare time<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nAs I live near the sea, I enjoy coastal walks with my dogs, or I head into the beautiful Duddon Valley, the west coastline is also a lovely quiet place to wander along the many beaches. If I’m not walking I enjoy going out on my electric bike as long as I don’t have to go up hills!<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nI enjoy the delicious food at the Manor House Oxen Park near Ulverston and the Brown Horse at Winster is a great pub too!<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nMy journey to work is so scenic, every day it can be different depending on the weather.

For more casual dining experience, I often head to The Bridge House In in Grasmere. The outdoor seating area with views of the river is perfect for a sunny day and the food is always fresh and tasty<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe stunning natural beauty of the Lake District is, of course, the biggest draw. But I also love the friendly and welcoming community, the abundance of outdoor activities and the slower pace of life. Working here allows me to combine my passion for the outdoors with my career, which is providing\u00a0 a service that hopefully inspires others to explore this beautiful region and appreciate its natural wonders.<\/p>\n

\nPeter Alger – Account Manager (Windermere)<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
About You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI have lived in the Lakes since 1991 having moved here after university, most of that time I lived in Penny Bridge a small village enroute to Coniston. I moved to Kendal 2 years ago. I love the outdoors and find that living in here is fantastic for accessing the outdoors. I enjoy DIY too and I’ve restored my last 2 houses, nearly there with my current one. Another passion is skiing.<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe Old Man of Coniston. this walk is so accessible and versatile, its a little demanding towards the top, slightly steep but the views are incredible. On a clear day you can see the Isle of Man and all the way up the west coast towards Scotland. Depending on your fitness level its also a decent run from Walna Scar over the top and down past Goats Water. The are are some great cafes in and around Coniston to grab a coffee after your walk, allowing you to catch your breath!<\/p>\n
Go to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nWhen we go walking in the north of the county, we love to finish up in the Square Orange in Keswick. It’s only small and always busy, but it’s worth the wait. It’s not fancy but has a nice European vibe, which I like.<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nAccess to the fells and lakes, the people and that you can get to Scotland or Wales reasonably easily from here.<\/p>\n
\nVicky Thatcher – Account Manager (Windermere)<\/h2>\nAbout You\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\nI have wanted to live in the Lake District for a very long time.

Favourite Lake District walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nI just love the walks from my house, no need to drive – best one is Raven crag, Thirlmere or the loop from Legburthwaite walking the tops towards the church with little tarns along the way.<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nNew favourite – The Ruddings, Braithwaite and recently renovated pub Swinside Inn, Newlands Valley – both have excellent food and dog friendly<\/p>\n

Favourite Lake District walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nThere’s so many awesome walks it’s difficult to pick a favourite but we have Whinlatter Forest just behind us so our regular dog walk is through the trails in the forest -often with a cuppa & a sweet treat from the caf\u00e9 half way round!<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in\u00a0the\u00a0Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nLiving close to Keswick we have so many excellent places for food and drink.

\nSteve Martin – Property Services Manager (Ambleside)<\/h2>\nAbout You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI live in the Kendal area and have worked for Lakelovers for 8 years. In my spare time I play in a local covers band which gets me out and about to different venues around the county and over the border too. So as much recreation and socialising as I can fit in<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nI enjoy looking back towards Windermere from the top of Todd Crag on Loughrigg Fell, it’s simply stunning. There’s so many outdoor activities that make you feel invigorated, inspired, excited and enthused in the Lakes, plus the outlying areas of Cumbria too. If the acitivity leads you to a good pub at the end of it, happy days!<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nI love a good curry, so for me the best place is British Raj in Kendal or further afield Taste of Bengal in Penrith, both very good. One of my pub food favourites is The Masons Arms, Strawberry Bank.<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nThere is so much variety here, I love the local feel-good atmosphere on a gorgeous and sunny day.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
About You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI’ve worked for the Lakes brands for 8 years, based in our Fisherbeck office in Ambleside. I commute to work from a small rural village called Kirkby in Furness, where I live with my husband and my 2 dogs. I’m also green fingered and like gardening in my spare time<\/p>\n
Favourite Lake District Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nAs I live near the sea, I enjoy coastal walks with my dogs, or I head into the beautiful Duddon Valley, the west coastline is also a lovely quiet place to wander along the many beaches. If I’m not walking I enjoy going out on my electric bike as long as I don’t have to go up hills!<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nI enjoy the delicious food at the Manor House Oxen Park near Ulverston and the Brown Horse at Winster is a great pub too!<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nMy journey to work is so scenic, every day it can be different depending on the weather. My role at work allows me to get out and about in the lakes, visiting many of our fantastic properties, my favourite places are Grasmere and Keswick, both different but equally as nice.<\/p>\n

Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nI tend to head south and one of my favourite places to eat is Gilpin Bridge near Levens, great pub grub!<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nIt is a fabulous place to come and visit, a good mix of everything, if you don\u2019t like it too busy maybe best to stay a little bit out or head to the heart of the lakes, where its full of atmosphere. There’s so much to do, my recommendations are Grizedale Forest, Lakes Aquarium and a trip on the lake steamer, something for all the family.<\/p>\n

\nSteve Martin – Property Services Manager (Ambleside)<\/h2>\nAbout You<\/strong><\/h3>\nI live in the Kendal area and have worked for Lakelovers for 8 years.

Favourite Lake District Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nI enjoy looking back towards Windermere from the top of Todd Crag on Loughrigg Fell, it’s simply stunning. There’s so many outdoor activities that make you feel invigorated, inspired, excited and enthused in the Lakes, plus the outlying areas of Cumbria too. If the acitivity leads you to a good pub at the end of it, happy days!<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nI love a good curry, so for me the best place is British Raj in Kendal or further afield Taste of Bengal in Penrith, both very good. One of my pub food favourites is The Masons Arms, Strawberry Bank.<\/p>\n

Favourite Lake District Walk<\/strong><\/h3>\nAs I live near the sea, I enjoy coastal walks with my dogs, or I head into the beautiful Duddon Valley, the west coastline is also a lovely quiet place to wander along the many beaches. If I’m not walking I enjoy going out on my electric bike as long as I don’t have to go up hills!<\/p>\n
Go-to spot for food and drink in the Lakes<\/strong><\/h3>\nI enjoy the delicious food at the Manor House Oxen Park near Ulverston and the Brown Horse at Winster is a great pub too!<\/p>\n
Favourite things about living and working in the Lake District<\/strong><\/h3>\nMy journey to work is so scenic, every day it can be different depending on the weather.

The hills and fells around Troutbeck are stunning.<\/p>\n I tend to head south and one of my favourite places to eat is Gilpin Bridge near Levens, great pub grub!<\/p>\n It is a fabulous place to come and visit, a good mix of everything, if you don\u2019t like it too busy maybe best to stay a little bit out or head to the heart of the lakes, where its full of atmosphere. There’s so much to do, my recommendations are Grizedale Forest, Lakes Aquarium and a trip on the lake steamer, something for all the family.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I’ve been at Lakelovers now for over 7 years based in Ambleside. In my spare time I enjoy baking and to counteract the baking I try and make time to go running on the trails around my home in Windermere.\u00a0 I enjoy going out into the fells and I have been ticking off the Wainwrights and have recently reached 100 (only another 114 to go!).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n There are many fantastic walks and so much beautiful scenery all across the Lake District. I love <\/span>Loughrigg<\/span> Tarn and <\/span>views across to the Langdale Pikes<\/span>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n No better place than a sheltered spot on a fell with an amazing view.\u00a0\u00a0I have had some lovely meals at The Black Labrador, Underbarrow and further down the road, The Punchbowl Inn at Crosthwaite.<\/p>\n There is <\/span>so much to do and see<\/span> (even when <\/span>its<\/span> raining!)<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span> There is nowhere else quite like it.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Walking in the Fells or <\/span>low-level<\/span> walks<\/span> (especially with a pub at the end to <\/span>sample <\/span>a local real ale)<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span> Or if you are an <\/span>adrenaline<\/span> junkie <\/span>the Via Ferrata <\/span>at <\/span>Honister<\/span> Slate mine (too scary for me but it looks and sounds amazing<\/span>)<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Want to know more about holiday letting in the Lake District?
