In the Lake District, Cumbria, it’s all about the scenery. Wild, emotive and stunning beautiful, it is the ideal setting for that romantic getaway you’ve been planning. Don’t believe us? Two centuries’ worth of poets and painters will tell you it’s so.
Whatever brings you here – maybe it’s the first throws of young love, a reminder of how much you care, or maybe the time has come to pop the question - there are so many ways to celebrate love in the Lakes.
We’ve got the best selection of places to stay that will help you really dial up the romance – a cosy B&B perhaps, or a gorgeous little cottage; or maybe you want a bit of wow factor in a luxury hotel? Treat your loved one by staying in a romantic luxury secluded lodge with your own hot tub, where you can sip champagne together under the stars. Or maybe a luxury spa break in a top hotel with panoramic views over a Lake. And the beauty is they’re all easy to book online.
Music might be the food of love, but if love of food is music to you, then we’ve got you covered too. From Michelin-starred restaurants to traditional pubs serving the very best of hearty Cumbrian cuisine, we can help you indulge yourself and make that romantic break extra special – just remember that candles make every meal that bit more romantic.
And if the big day is in your future, take a look around you: there’s nowhere better to tie the knot than the Lake District, Cumbria.
