If you’re visiting the lake district, you should really stay in a traditional lake district cottage to get the real Lake district feel. Cottages are built of many different materials – brick, sandstone and slate being common and most traditional cottages are roofed in Cumbrian slate. Many cottages that are for rent to tourists have been upgraded with all modern facilities whilst retaining their natural charm. Some self catering accommodations in the Lake District even have hot tubs outside.
Staying in self catering accommodation gives you the maximum amount of flexibility. You can get up late and have a late breakfast or get out early and see the sun rising over the Lakes. The choice is yours. There are plenty of eating places to cater for most tastes in all the major towns in the area so you don’t even need to cook for yourself.
