Cumbrian cottages

Cumbria is one of the most beautiful counties in England, positioned snuggly in the North corner of the country between Lancashire, Yorkshire and County Durham. It is renowned for its picturesque countryside, frequented by tourists who usually stay in quaint little Cumbrian cottages. Cumbria offers a lot of activities for tourists, whether it is long peaceful walks around the Lake District or something more extreme like riding the rapids or climbing rocks and cliffs. And if all gets too much you can just sit back and enjoy the scenery.

Booking holiday cottages in Cumbria is a hassle free process with many travel agents and brochures offering great deals. There is rarely a chance of all the cottages and travel hotels getting fully booked, because although it is a tourist hot spot, it still remains quiet and secluded.

If you live in England, getting there couldn’t be easier either. You can simply decid to drive there by car yourself (although this isn’t always recommended for less advanced drivers), or you can use one of the many well equipped train services, with few change overs. Depending on where you live you can also travel by sea, across Heysham and Newcastle.

Cumbrian cottages sometimes are older style , but that’s all the fun of the holiday. Getting back down to nature and life’s basics. There are specific holiday cottages in Cumbria positioned close to the lakes and various resorts that can accommodate even the largest group, or further inland you can find regular Cumbrian cottages, lodges and hotels. We prefer the Cumbrian cottages closest to the Lake District, which you can find near the northern and southern lakes, as well as the various valleys and right up to Hadrian’s wall on the border to Scotland.

When visiting Cumbria there are a few sights that you must see to make the holiday truly complete. Whether you’re an eager and sporty type, or the kind that likes to relax you can’t miss out on the opportunity to go on a walking/climbing expedition around the Lake District’s peaks. You also have to check out the many designated trails (try not to wander for safety reasons). Another point of interest is the ancient stone circles (fifty in total) that can be fun to look and read about, and you may even want to engage in some spiritual activities. There are various maps that can help you find them all.

Cumbria is definitely for everyone, so if you are looking for some peace, coupled with some fun back to nature activities then holiday cottages in Cumbria sound like they are for you.
