With snowy peaks, frosted grass and a chill in the air, a Lake District winter break is a truly magical way to spend the cooler months.

Why choose a Lake District winter break?

The picture-perfect landscapes of the Lake District National Park are wonderful all year round, but especially in the winter. Whether you’re looking to soak in the spectacular scenery across the freezing waters of Lake Windermere or lose yourself amongst the frosted countryside, there’s no better place to end an action-packed day than retreating to your winter accommodation in the Lake District. There’s craggy peaks, sleepy towns and literary and historic landmarks waiting to be discovered.

Places to visit from your Lake District winter cottage

Be sure to wrap up warm and head off on an adventure during your Lake District winter break. Outdoor expeditions await in the Lyth Valley and Grizedale Forest, whilst a visit to Windermere offers a leisurely alternative. Kendal, Keswick and Bowness are ideal for sheltering from the elements, with countless shopping opportunities and eateries to choose from. There’s also the much-loved villages of Grasmere and Hawkshead. Decorated in a dusting of snow, you’re in a peaceful winter wonderland.

Types of Holiday

If you’re search for a winter holiday in the Lake District to celebrate the festive season, there’s a wonderful collection of Christmas holiday cottages and New Year Lake District breaks. Cosy up in a cottage with an open fire, or enjoy a dip under the frosted skies with a holiday cottage with a hot tub. And with this vast collection of large cottages to choose from, you can bring the whole family along to enjoy a winter holiday in the Lake District!
