If you are looking for a sleeps 4 to 6 property, you are most likely travelling to the Lake District either as a group or as a family with children. At Lakelovers, we understand that no two guests are the same and therefore no two holiday requirements are the same. So we have hand-picked our portfolio to offer a selection of unique properties, both in their looks and comforts.
One of the best features of self-catering accommodation, is unlike hotels, sleeps 6 does not mean 3 bedrooms. Many of our properties sleeping up to 6, have as many as 4 or 5 bedrooms. Meaning that you and your guests are not all required to share bedrooms. Perfect if you are travelling as a group of singles or if you are travelling with children of varying ages.
If you are coming to the Lakes to cycle, we recommend you choose one of our properties with free bike storage. As a popular sport for many of our guests, lots of our owners have made sure there is adequate space to safely store your treasured bikes. Either in a locked storage container or shed; or indoors.
Many of our properties also come with ‘boot rooms’ or ‘tack rooms’. Perfect for those wet or snowy days when you won’t want to walk wet clothes and shoes through the property. Plus laundry facilities, including washing machines, tumble dryers or both.
You may also want to look at our properties with games rooms, including: table tennis, darts and pool tables. Or outdoor facilities, such as swimming pools, hot-tubs and tennis courts. Create your own week long championships and crown your Lake District Cup winner at the end of the week.
For an exhilarating day out, either individually or as part of a group, why not try a Kankku 4×4 self-drive, off-roading experience.
