A great time to consider booking your next staycation, these cottages for May half-term breaks will provide you with a wonderful place to stay in the heart of one of England’s most beautiful regions. With many of these properties offering plenty of indoor and outdoor space as well as great access to the region’s quaint market towns and villages, they can provide you with the perfect backdrop to your next family holiday in May half term. 

Why Book one of these May Half-Term Breaks? 

By booking one of these Lake District May half term cottages for your next family holiday, you’ll be treated to a comfortable and cosy place to stay, all whilst avoiding much of the hustle and bustle that occurs during the summer break. After all, being one of the most popular destinations for UK holidaymakers, places like Windermere and Ambleside can fill up quickly with tourists, so booking a May half-term break lets you avoid all of that and allows you to enjoy the Lake District at a pace that suits you. 

Places to Visit during the May Half-Term Holidays 

With so much to see, do and explore in the Lake District during the May half-term, you and your family will have no trouble finding plenty of things to do to fill up your time here. For example, the town of Keswick in the north of the region has plenty to offer visitors. Being situated on the edge of Derwentwater, this town is home to the Pencil Museum and the Puzzling Place, a unique attraction packed full of optical illusions that the kids will love.  

On the other hand, the town of Bowness also makes for a wonderful place to go exploring, sitting on the edge of the region’s largest lake where you can take a ferry to-and-from the various towns that sit on its shores. Not only that, but it’s also home to a host of wonderful country pubs and restaurants to enjoy before retreating to your accommodation to rest up for the evening. 

Other places to visit during your Lake District May half-term break include: 

Bassenthwaite 

Cartmel 

Coniston 

Eskdale 

Grizedale 

Kendal 

Ullswater
