Lake District Holiday Cottages

Just Show Me Lake District Cottages


Peter Rabbit and Postman Pat are just two of the little characters you might encounter when you book a Lake District cottage. This sublime slice of England has captivated writers and poets for generations, not to mention visitors from across the globe - and it's easy to see why.

Discover a magical region of soaring mountains, glistening lakes, dense green forests and heather-clad moorlands. Explore Roman forts, ancient stone circles and historic estates. A region that offers a sensational range of outdoor activities - classic fell walking, rock climbing, mountain biking, long-distance cycling, golf, fishing, kayaking, sailing and more. From sculpture trails and street art to rock festivals and theatre, the Lake District's cultural side is worth closer inspection too. Enjoy a fascinating tour of Dove Cottage and Hill Top, the delightful homes of Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter.

Visit The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction where you can see all twenty three stories by Beatrix Potter told in a wonderfully realistic indoor attraction. See Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddle-duck and even visit Mr McGregor's garden!
