The Lake District, Cumbria, is often considered to be one of the most romantic places in the UK and with a vast selection of cosy places to stay and loved-up activities, why not make this your destination of choice for your honeymoon or minimoon.
Whether your idea of romance is wandering through stunning scenery with the wind in your hair and a picnic in your bag, or you see romance as a cosy meal for two in a fine dining restaurant with rooms, Cumbria has it all.
For those who want to enjoy an outdoor escape with picnics by a lake and gentle activities, there are some stunning spots such as Tarn Hows or on the shores of Derwent Water, which are easily accessible and offer seating, gentle walks and picnic tables. You could even arrange for a local business such as Cranstons or Lakeland Artisan to prepare a hamper of local goodies to enjoy while taking in the spectacular surroundings.
Alternatively why not book into a spectacular spa hotel and enjoy a honeymoon of ultimate pampering. Cumbria has spas right across the entire county, many offering thermal journeys and couples spa treatments. Amongst those to choose from are Brimstone Spa at Langdale Hotel and Spa, an exclusive residents only experience. In Ambleside enjoy the extensive indoor and outdoor facilities at Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa overlooking Windermere, while at the far south end of the lake, The Swan Hotel & Spa offers a selection of indoor and outdoor facilities.
In the north of the county, The Spa at North Lakes Hotel and Spa features treatment rooms, a pool, sauna, steam and whirlpool, or feel like the king and queen of your own castle at the impressively imposing Armathwaite Hall which has extensive spa and fitness facilities. At Another Place, The Lake, you can relax with a lakeview pool.
For food lovers, Cumbria is home to the greatest number of Michelin Stars per county outside of London. Many of these are located in hotels with rooms so you can make a food experience part of the entire stay. Try Simon Rogan’s three star dining at L’Enclume near Cartmel or Indian influenced cuisine made from British produce at Cedar Tree by Hrishikesh Desai, at Farlam Hall. Details of these and more can be found via our Michelin dining page.
Alternatively for couples wanting to get creative together there is a certain romance to creating your very own gin at Shed One in Ulverston or a relaxing candle or scented soap at a masterclass with Pure Lakes in Far Sawrey.
Whatever your preference, make Cumbria your first choice for a honeymoon or minimoon.
