Be at home away from home. The self-catering option offers the ultimate freedom and one of the best ways to enjoy a break in the beautiful Lake District, Cumbria. You want to get away from it all, but fancy taking some of your home comforts with you.
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.
