A Self-catering trip is perfect for the family or an extended family celebration with kids, the parents, the grandparents, the in-laws, the distant aunties and second cousin twice removed. Enjoy a home-cooked family meal in the most beautiful surroundings here in the Lake District, Cumbria.
Self-Catering can also be the most cost-effective way to enjoy a break in the area. Avoid the pressure of booking somewhere to dine each evening, instead head to the local supermarket, fill your cupboards with the best local produce and eat what you want when you want. If you don’t fancy cooking one evening, order a take-away delivered direct to your door.
If you fancy a lie-in, after all you are on holiday, there is no need to worry about missing breakfast. Cook your own hearty start to the day whenever you choose.
In Cumbria, you’ll find a simply massive selection of self-catering accommodation in all styles and sizes – from rustic Lake District cottages perfect for a quiet getaway for two, lakeland lodges to build memories with the kids, to chic contemporary city-centre apartments for that shopping getaway.
