  | Weekend breaks in the Lake District
The Lake District is the perfect place for a weekend break, and whether you are planning a romantic weekend, a midweek break or a spa weekend, you will find a vast range of hotels and guest houses in the region to choose from. More people visit the Lake District for a weekend break than any other National Park in the UK, and many of them are return visitors. Weekend breaks in the Lake District allow visitors to escape the hustle and bustle of their usual busy lives, and enjoy the fresh country air, the mountains and the beautiful countryside. The first tourists came to the Lake District in Victorian times as they felt the Cumbrian air was beneficial to their health, and many rich visitors bought holiday homes in the region. Much has changed in the Lake District since Victorian times, but the scenery, the lakes, the mountains and the clear, fresh air remain the same. Whether you want to book a tranquil weekend away in a spa hotel with personal spa bath, private patio, lake views and a four poster bed, or you prefer to be closer to town with the inns, pubs, restaurants and cafés close at hand, you will find a fantastic range of accommodation in the Lake District, including bed and breakfast accommodation, guest houses, boutique hotels and luxury hotels with hot tubs and spa baths. The Lake District is easily accessible from the M6 motorway, and once visitors arrive, they can take advantage of excellent transport links around the county. If you are planning a weekend break in the Lake District, Windermere is an excellent place to base yourself. From Windermere, other towns and villages in Cumbria, including Ambleside, Grasmere, and Kendal can be easily reached. If you are planning to stay for a weekend in the Lake District during a major event, such as the Great North Swim, which takes place every year and attracts up to 10,000 swimmers, make sure you book your hotel early, as availability may be limited. Visitors who want to spend the weekend energetically, can sign up for guided tours, walks, hikes and climbs, or choose to do it alone. It is always worth visiting one of the Lake District Visitor Centres before you set off, where you can pick up free information about routes, guided tours etc., If you are planning a long hike without a guide, make sure you check the weather forecast and take all necessary equipment to keep you safe and warm. Lake District weather can be unpredictable and what starts out as a sunny, bright day can turn into a rainy, windy afternoon. Weekend breaks are also popular in winter time, and hotel rooms are available in the Lake District with open fires, hot tubs and saunas, plus full spa facilities and beauty therapies. Whatever time of year you decide to visit the Lake District for a weekend break, you will find plenty of things to see and do … even in the rain. |
