Walk your socks off in Grasmere or Langdale, sample the vibrant nightlife in Ambleside, take a break on the Lake in Lakeside or Windermere – whatever you are in the mood for, we have a holiday home to suit.

Booking a holiday at the last minute can be an exhilarating experience. No sooner have you secured your holiday cottage, than you’re packing your bags, loading up the car and away you go. Maybe your holiday is a surprise for a loved one, a celebration or just a well needed “let’s get out of here for the weekend”. Whatever the reason, Lakelovers can ensure your last minute break goes just as smoothly as something planned meticulously weeks in advance.

Another good reason for booking a last minute is that you could make huge savings on the price of your holiday. Book your last minute break within 4 weeks of your arrival date and you could save up to 20% off the cost of your stay!

It’s never too late! For Last Minute & Late Availability Cottages bookings, within 48 hours of your chosen arrival date.

With almost forty years experience, Lakelovers have become experts at providing quality accommodation to lucky visitors to one of the UK’s most popular holiday destinations, the Lake District. Browse our website to find last minute Lake District Cottages that suit you and leave the rest to us.

Many of our cottages are pet friendly and so you needn’t worry about finding someone to look after the dog, and what’s more they come free!

Getting here

Travelling to the Lake District has never been easier or quicker no matter where you’re travelling from. With access provided via the M6 motorway you can be here, by car, in a flash and don’t worry about parking, many of our cottages have private parking facilities. If your preferred method of transport is train then you can travel directly in Windermere and catch a connecting train or take a taxi to your holiday cottage. Here’s lots of useful travel advice for planning your visit.

Things to do

Lake District late deals are an all year round choice for holidaymakers. Walking, climbing and other outdoor activities are there to be enjoyed throughout each season where you can enjoy the iconic landscape in all its many seasonal atmospheres.

The same can be said of shopping; you’ll find a wide range of boutique shops, cafes and restaurants to choose from across the Lake District. From the stylish boutiques of Bowness-on-Windermere, foodie treats in Cartmel and a bustling mix of high street and independents in Keswick, the Lake District has it all!

If culture is your thing, you certainly won’t be disappointed with a holiday to this preserved National Park, which is steeped in history and reflected in the museums, galleries and open houses that are scattered across the District.

“In the summertime when the weather is fine” your horizons expand yet further, as there’s a busy calendar of country shows and festivals to be taken into account. From the now world-famous Kendal Calling music festival to the Cumbrian Steam Gathering; the Hawkshead Show, where you can sample a taste of traditional Cumbria life; pony-trekking, lake cruises, high-ropes and 4×4 off-road experiences; peaceful walks and challenging climbs, there’s plenty to make your holiday a dream come true!

You could be relaxing in front of a wood burning fire surrounded by bespoke fittings and plush furnishings, while planning your next outdoor adventure. Or, you could be cooking a meal for family and friends in a state of the art kitchen, using some of the finest locally produced ingredients available, before retiring for a good night’s sleep in sheer luxury.
