With prices of holidays in Europe on the up, maybe, it\u2019s time to book closer to home.<\/h2>\n

Cumbria and the Lake District have mountains, lakes, rivers \u2013 and beaches.<\/p>\n

To get to this beauty spot with peaceful waters and rolling hills, you don\u2019t have to negotiate the airport, no need to exchange currency \u2013 it\u2019s only a few hours drive or train ride away.<\/p>\n

What more do you want from your summer holiday in 2017?<\/p>\n

There\u2019s walking, sailing, kayaking, climbing, cycling, horseriding for the adventure-lovers.<\/p>\n

And, for those of you looking for something relaxing, there\u2019s an abundance of great tourist attractions and cultural delights. Not forgetting the picturesque patchwork the Lake District provides for free.<\/p>\n

Keen to see what the Lake District has to offer, Express journalist Jess Wilson headed \u2018up north\u2019 to see what all the hype was about \u2013 and she wasn\u2019t disappointed.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s fair to say that she was impressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cottage is set up with everything you could possibly need \u2013 so we felt no need to leave the house for dinner and enjoyed some home cooked grub on the terrace instead<\/em>\u201d, she wrote in her article last May.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Impressed by the self-catering holiday cottage, here\u2019s what Jess did next:<\/h3>\n
